Fight of the Day: War Machine vs. Zach Light

(Props: snakerattle79 )

As you might have heard, MMA fighter/frequent assault suspect War Machine (11-3) was back in action a couple weekends ago at BAMMA 3 in England, where he finished Zach Light (6-10) by first-round rear-naked choke; the video is above. Yes, Light has a losing record, so maybe it’s not the most impressive victory for War. Still, Light is a former two-time All American wrestler and works as a coach at Wolfslair — where he assists in the training of fighters like Quinton Jackson, Michael Bisping, and Cheick Kongo — so at least he’s a well- qualified pushover.

The match was particularly special for War Machine because it marked his first fight after giving up the p**n biz and becoming a Christian. As he tweeted: ” I had planned on doing what I ALWAYS use to make fun of…thank God after the fight on the mic but in the excitement of things I forgot! Makes me feel bad. So I’m gonna thank him now for protecting me both physically and mentally while both preparing and fighting. ” To which God tweeted back. “I had nothing to do with that, now leave me alone you psycho.”
