Late Friday evening, Bellator President Scott Coker issued a media alert that announced the news that War Machine, who last fought at Bellator 104, has been released by the organization.
This comes as a direct response to news first reported by TMZ that War Machine is a “prime suspect” in a domestic violence case that involves his “significant other”.
The media alert from Coker read: “We have a zero tolerance policy here are at Bellator when it relates to any form of domestic violence, and after learning of this latest incident involving Jon Koppenhaver, War Machine, Bellator is releasing him from his promotional contract with the organization.”
War Machine is wanted by Las Vegas police as of Friday evening.
