War Machine Versus Roger Bowling Cancelled Again, This Time For Good

Jon,
you got off lucky with Rogers injury. You won’t schedule a fight with him when he’s not injured because you know you were preparing for a national ass whoopin when you stepped in there with Roger.

You will fight Roger Bowling in the future because if you don’t, all you are doing is using Rogers very real and very serious injuries as a copout. Everyone knows it. So stop talking the shit unless you are prepared to back it up. Roger was preparing to fight you one handed, and you know what, if he would have he still could have beat you.

Consider yourself lucky and shut the fuck up until AFTER you have been in the cage with Roger. Until then, you are just a punk talking shit while walking away from the fight.

Jason Appleton is an idiot! If You really believed Roger Bowling could beat War Machine why did you pull him? He obviously didn’t pull himself out according to you. Secondly, how is War Machine walking away from the fight when Roger (and his half ass management) are the ones who cancelled TWICE! Keep feeding Roger juice and have him fight scrubs where they don’t test for it, but keep real fighters out of it in a pathetic attempt to blow his name up.

Seriously Jason do you really think that you can taunt a fighter into a 3rd attempt to fight? Jon is obviously about the money, he probably would like Roger on a personal level due to mutual respect of fighters and what not. I won’t deny Roger is a tough guy, but why are you talking shit about Jon when your guy backed out? I bet if you offered Jon X amount of dollars, regardless of whether or not Roger pulled out, he would agree. But seriously who wants to dedicate time and block out thier schedule to a guy who pulls out of fights like pornstars pullout of pussy? Money talks!

I understand the frustrations of having someone pull out on you, not once, but twice. But this isn’t about some nobody faking injuries to get out of a fight they didn’t want to begin with. Roger broke his wrist completely as well as ripping the main tendon off his thumb the first time they were to meet, pics of it at rogerbowling.com, and this time Roger broke 3 knuckles in his July 25th fight.

I can see why you guys are War Machine fans. You enjoy his mouth. All in good fun, but when someone like War Machine talks this much shit about a guy who has obviously suffered very real injuries, it goes to show what kind of fruit cake Jon really is and I don’t like it.

And to accuse Roger of steroids? That’s a joke. Roger hasn’t touched any kind of steroid in his life. His mother is built as well. Runs in Rogers family.

It really doesn’t matter, when Rogers healed up and ready to go I’ll make one more effort to book the two of them and I’m pretty sure Jon won’t take it because he didn’t want this fight. I heard about him calling all the gyms in the Tri-State trying to find out if Roger has any weaknesses, trying to get Roger to meet him at 175 when he’s supposed to be a 170lb fighter etc etc.

War Machine was afraid of Roger going in and now he’s using Rogers injuries as a cop out.

The good thing for Jon is, if it wasn’t for me setting up this fight, he wouldn’t have the pay day he getting and rather than appreciate the opportunity, he’d rather bite the hands that feed him.

Yeah it does suck when your opponent pulls out, been there, but injuries do happen that’s just a part of the game. However, I don’t think War Machine is really afraid of Roger. He’s beat and lost to tougher guys that Bowling. He’s probably just more irritated with the situation, and being the way he is, he blasted the horn on myspace.

“Roger hasn’t touched any kind of steroid in his life. His mother is built as well. Runs in Rogers family.”

That’s hillarious! I’m not saying I agree or disagree. Roger has that “juiced look”. there are people with good genes and people with juiced genes. Also he does seem to have quite a few fights in areas where there are no athletic commissions. (e.g. Kentucky and Indiana). Wasn’t this last fight scheduled in a casino? Aren’t lots of Big Show events held in a casino? Kind of suspicious that you would hold events in places where there is absolutely no drug testing, but hey its not like there is a conflict of interest or anything. Not like the guy who is president of the Big Show manages fighters that fight in that same show.

Even if Roger is on the juice he’s still fucking bad ass. He should just fight in Japan instead of UFC.

Jason I agree with you War Machine is biting the hand that feeds him. He’s done it with UFC, Bellator and now with you. The guy is not business smart. Exciting fighter but he needs a mussel and his management needs to ground him from his computer, lol. Roger is the only one of the 3 of you not running his mouth. Roger has twice the class of War Machine. That being said War Machine is still at least twice as technical a fighter as Roger and no where near as injury proned, lol.

To Bryon: “a guy who pulls out of fights like pornstars pullout of pussy” -LMAO!

To Jason Appleton: “The good thing for Jon is, if it wasn’t for me setting up this fight, he wouldn’t have the pay day he getting”

- Very true, but also be thankful that he’s getting you and your fighters name out there. I just checked MMA Bigshows myspace and it has 1300 friends while War Machines bulletins reach 25,000 people. There is no such thing as bad publicity.

To Shinya Aoki: That is actually pretty suspect about Appleton creating opportunities for his fighters to use steroids, although I think most fighters use them anyways and I doubt he would go out of his way to enable his guys.

To Alex: Roger is not injury prone he just has bad luck.

I love how Jason talked so much shit about Kieth Smetana for getting injured before his fight with Roger Bowling, but has every excuse in the world for why Roger’s injuries justify his backing out.

Roger Bowling is auditioning for a role on “Days of Our Lives” ~ that explains the glamour shots and the bangs…. C’mon, anyone can build a 6-0 record by fighting nobody’s. One thing is true: War Machine is ready to fight, Bowling is not. And Bowling is talking trash on his own website. Roger – put up or shut up. Paper tiger.

The difference between Keith Smetana and Roger is, Keith was never able or willing to prove his injuries. Where is Keith now by the way?

As for me promoting events in states without commissions, Indiana hasn’t had a commission but there isn’t anything I can do about that. Those of you that don’t know the business can assume whatever you’d like.

Rogers father just died yesterday and things are pretty messed up around here. It’s been a horrible week for Roger and he’s dealing with a lot. Roger does look like a steroid junkie but the fact is, he isn’t. Believe what you will. He’s fought in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. No steroids.

And anyone that knows what they are talking about would know, I setup tough fights for the guys I manage. Mojo Horne fought Josh Haynes and beat the piss out of him and it was Mojos 3rd pro fight? How bout Mojo beating 16-13 Brenden Seguin in the first round on his 4th or 5th pro fight? Did I set those up somehow? Or Roger beating Shamar Bailey in 27 seconds and is Shamars only loss even today at 11 or 12-1. Or Rogers 9 second knockout of 11-3 Seth Bazcynski?
If you think those are easy fights setup to make my guys look good, you are crazy.

Now I dont mind the back and forth banter here and there and I love the energy of MMA fans, but at least try being a little more realistic instead of tossing broad accusations about things you dont know about or understand. Roger Bowling is one of the top up and coming 170lbers in the sport. His fastest knockout is 7 seconds. They aren’t building their names off of tomato cans, they just happen to be good enough to make beating experienced fighters look easy.

To be honest, I shouldn’t be so hard on War Machine, I understand his outlook on the situation. I don’t blame him for being upset either. His trash talking is what makes him so exciting. So he’s been doing whats been expected of him. So I thank him for that.

Hopefully though, he won’t dodge Roger when Roger is ready to make this fight happen, injury free.

Thanks for sharing your comments.

Jason, you make more excuses then one of my ex girlfriends playing games with the pussy back in High school. The Bottom line is you can keep defending your cowardly little baby, and talk about how he would have, could have stuff about beat War with one hand!? LOL, you obviously aren’t a MMA fan or someone that has grappled before. War Machine is a Purple Belt, almost a Brown under one of the worlds best black belts in Baret ” The Finisher ” Yoshida. He has trained and fought with some of the best fighters to ever compete in the UFC. Ken Shamrock, Phil Baroni, Tito Ortiz, Forrest Griffin, Dewey Cooper, Mac Danzig, Kendall Grove, Jared Rollins, De Lorenzi, Reshad Woods, and many others. So, once again you obviously don’t know shit about War Machine if you think that your little steroid freak would’ve actually beat War. Like, you’re crying about Roger breaking his hand in a fight that lasted 40+ seconds? And a seven second KO? LOL, Blow me! I’d knock out the whimps he fought to. Like worry about teaching Roger how to fucking punch instead of running your mouth for him. Like, inform him that If you threw straight punches you wouldn’t have broken knuckles or such weak hands for the rest of his life, and if your fighter didn’t take so many steroids, maybe his bones wouldn’t be so frail. So keep running your mouth Jason, because you’re a manager of nobody and never will be. Keep setting up your prize fighter against 2-4 records and I’m sure he’ll do just great! LOL You’re a joke.

The real shame is that a “manager” signed his fighter to the biggest fight of his “career” when he knew he had a broken left wrist and a broken right hand. The only reason Roger Bowling even broke his right hand was you put him in a fight too soon for him to use his left hand. Jason you don’t give a shit about Roger Bowling, only your “promotion”.

LOL, sounds pretty logical to me Dodger.

You all can stop talking shit about Roger. If you knew anything about a career you could understand why he is not fighting. If he fights with his hand in the condition it is in he could possibly mess up his career for life! That is not something to do just for one fight. Sure the fight is cancelled and all of you are pissed off but give him a break! Let me come break your hand and knuckles then you go try to knock the shit out of someone…. It won’t happen! Let it be for the time being that he is not able to fight due to his injuries. Otherwise, He will be scheduling another fight with “War Machine”. Also, You do not have to put Roger down just because you all wished you had a body like Roger! Always using excuses saying he is doing steriods….Get a life, Go work out your self and maybe you all would be happy and not have to worry about putting other people down.

War Machine is a punk. Plain and simple. He’s running his mouth while saying he’ll never fight Roger. War Machine…. What kind of Dildo changes his name to that? I guess Big Pussy was already taken. Roger’s injuries are real. He will fight War Machine and Kick His Ass when he is fully healed. Roger is the real deal. Regardless of what you clowns put on here. Wait and see.

Here is a suggestion for Jason and the Big Show, Everyone who comes to the show on the 12th donate $1. That can be a bonus for the winner of Bowling vs War Machine.

are any of u in here fighters?? have you ever broke your fucking hand and try to whipe your ass it fucking hurts! yeah it suck that they don’t get to fight but talking shit about someone who could kick your ass with that broken hand aint gonna get shit done.. roger is a great fighter and i don’t see him ducking anyone and so what if he fought people that aint in the ufc least they had the balls to fight and u got to start somewhere look at his ametuar record jason wasent matching up his fights then.. and what happen to the respect for fighters in this sport this aint fucking boxing aint that a part of what made this a great sport the respect of fighters and others the honer of it all.. most of these guys do it for the love of the sport.. most are broke working shity jobs and training ttheir ass off.. not only did he fuck his hand up he lost his dad and let friends down missed out on a big payday.. cmon get off of the bullshit dude was husrt it happens. you need to ask what whould you do b4 u start talking shit about someone!

I Agree with tank. Everyone wants to run the mouth about Roger and let me tell you not a good idea, this guy is rediculous i have workout next to him. He would destroy any of you as well as take care of bussiness fighting War Machine, he wants to run his mouth to someone who is talkin trash while walking away.

It’s amazing how much publicity War Machine has received, and continues to receive, for talking shit. But seriously… ? LEGALLY changing his name to War Machine.

I liked him on the show, rooted for him. Followed him for a minute, then I found out he’s a fucking racist… I’m a whiteboy, and I’m here to tell you there isnt a thing in the world more ignorant than a fuck’n racist. These are the kind of people fucking up our planet as we speak.

So now… I root Against Jon/wm, and dont give a rats ass when I see some article about some new drama he’s having. Dont read it. His support will dwindle once more people learn the truth about him. If ignorance is bliss, jons one happy motherfucker…
