This story is from TMZ.com
War Machine — the controversial MMA fighter turned porn star — is in big trouble in Georgia, after he backed out of an upcoming brawl … through his Twitter page.
Machine (yes, that’s his legal name) was scheduled to get in the ring at Wild Bill’s Fight Night in Duluth, GA tomorrow night … but claims he came down with a staph infection that will prevent him from kicking ass.
The fight promoter tells TMZ that instead of dealing with his situation "professionally" — returning calls, emails, etc — Machine simply posted a message on his Twitter page stating that he was out of the fight.
Now, the Georgia State Athletic and Entertainment Commission is coming down on Machine — suspending the fighter indefinitely for breach of contract.
So far, calls to WM have not been returned.

I’d imagine MA fighters fear fighting porn star MA fighters, not because of their fighting skills, but because of all the STDs and other infections going around the industry. There’s a lot of body contact and it is a blood sport.
