A year and a half after signing for a second go-’round, War Machine finally is ready for his Bellator MMA debut. War Machine (12-4 MMA, 0-0 BFC) had a very common reason to have his debut delayed, and he had a very War Machine-type reason, too. A recent knee pair of injuries pushed back his time table this time. But only after being released from a second long-term jail sentence. The fighter formerly known as Jon Koppenhaver, now legally War Machine, meets Blas Avena (8-6 MMA, 1-0 BFC) on Wednesday in a welterweight bout at Bellator 96
