– There was a segment at tonight’s Bellator event announcing UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar facing fellow Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz at the November 15 Bellator MMA event, which will go head to head with UFC 180: Velasquez vs. Werdum. Bellator CEO Scott Coker introduced Ortiz and Bonnar in the cage, and Bonnar turned the segment into a pro wrestling angle that quickly went from intriguing to absurd.

Bonnar actually brought someone to the cage with him in a mask and started ripping on Ortiz, stating that anyone that’s known Ortiz has been offering to help Bonnar. He then unmasked the guy that no one knew (I thought it was Ken Shamrock for a minute), and noted that the now unmasked man cornered Ortiz for many fights before Ortiz flushed him down the toilet. Bonnar proceeded to make things personal by mentioning Jenna Jameson and wondering how she could have put up with him.

Ortiz called both Bonnar and the masked man drug addicts before shoving Bonnar, which led to officials quickly pulling apart both fighters.

– Jon Koppenhaver, who legally changed his name to War Machine, faces the likelihood of life in prison for his role in the alleged assault of his former girlfriend, adult film actress Christy Mack. Koppenhaver appeared in a Las Vegas court earlier this week and faces 32 felony counts.

Koppenhaver, a former UFC and Bellator fighter, is accused of beating Mack and a male friend earlier this year. He faces battery by strangulation, sexual assault, kidnapping, burglary and several other charges.

During his MMA career, Koppenhaver went 14-5. He spent a year in prison for a previous assault charge that was brought up against him.

– Former UFC fighter Thiago Silva has escaped any further punishment for his involvement in an alleged assault earlier this year. Silva, who faced two counts of aggravated assault, saw the charges disappear from a Florida judge.

“All charges against Thiago Silva were dropped,” Broward County State Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Kim Fontana told TMZ Sports recently. “The victim was uncooperative and investigators determined that she likely has moved out of the country.”

UFC officials cut Silva from the active roster hours after the incident went down involving the fighter, his estranged wife and a local BJJ instructor.

– The UFC wants to pair Tyron Woodley with Hector Lombard in a battle of Top-10 welterweights. Lombard is down for it, but Woodley appears hesitant. The two are American Top Team teammates, but train at different gyms.

According to a report on “UFC Tonight” recently, plans were in the works for Lombard and Woodley to square off on November 8 from Australia. Woodley earned a win recently over Dong Hyun Kim in China.
