– Middleeasy.com recently interviewed War Machine, discussing MMA and his venture into porn. Here are the highlights:
On Machida vs. Shogun: Machida won but on the same token it was a decision so you’re at the mercy of the judges. I guess one angle to look at it is Machida is the champion and to win the belt you really got to beat the champion. On the fight card I think Shogun won but maybe it just wasn’t enough to take the belt. I don’t know how they have it with the judges. Whatever man, I think everyone thinks that Shogun did the better performance but Machida was the champ
On Vera vs. Couture: Ah man, I wish that fight wasn’t happening. I just don’t want Brandon Vera to win and I think…he’s probably going to win. Randy Couture is a beast, he’s a legend, he’s a great guy and he’s kind of one of my coaches. He’s 47, 48 years old…he’s at the end of his road. Brandon Vera is just climing up to the top. Brandon Vera is fresh and hungry. Brandon is good man, he has a lot of skills. I think, man I want Randy to win so bad but I have a bad feeling Brandon is going to win.
On Brock Lesnar And The Heavyweight Division: Yeah, definitely. Because think about it man, Brock Lesnar is doo doo. I don’t care what anyone says, he sucks. Brock Lesnar, all he is a big strong gay wrestler. Think about it, he’s probably about 275-285 and he was fighting Randy Couture who was 220. So what is that, 55 pounds? Alright so if I’m 170 minus 55 pounds, what’s that 125? I don’t care how good you are, if you weigh 125lbs you’re not going to beat me. The best 125lb in the world, what is he going to do to me? He’s too small. So that’s what’s happening. You got a 125lber vs. a 170lber and it’s just not fair and that’s the same exact thing in the heavyweight division. So Brock Lesnar sucks. He sucks. He’s only good at wrestling. He’s so much bigger and stronger than everyone…he’s just a bully. He’s not good and I think if that fight would have went a little longer, Couture would have won. All he [Brock Lesnar] is, is a big gay bully. He fights little tiny guys, wow. He weighs 50lbs more and just beats them up. Brock Lesnar sucks.
On Moving Into The Porn Industry: My priority right now is to make good money and feed the War Machine. I’ve been fighting for seven years and MMA, I make a living but I don’t make enough money to save. I’m never going to be able to have enough to buy a house or buy a cool car. Right now, my main priority is making money. I want to do my best in the porn industry and I want to try to be one of the top, top porn guys, you know what I mean? So right now, porn is more important than MMA at the moment. I love to fight and I’m always going to fight, regardless of what happens.
On His First Porn Experience: I was nervous as hell. More nervous than any other fight I’ve ever had. So nervous…terrified. It’s no joke. It was crazy. Luckily when I got to the set, the crew were super cool they were MMA fans. The girl that I shot my first scene with, Riley Steele, she was really pretty and she was really nice. She made me feel comfortable. Porn is like fighting, you’re always ready before but once you get punched…you’re fine. When I touched her, I felt way better but until I made contact I felt nervous as hell.
