Growing up in Simi Valley, CA, Jonathan became interested in the sport of MMA by watching the bouts with his father. After completing high school, Koppenhaver moved on to the Citadel, a military college in South Carolina, and attended for 2 years majoring in biology. Due to some problems at home, Jon traded in his dream of becoming a Navy SEAL for a chance move to San Diego and a try out at Ken Shamrock’s Lions Den. He spent a year and a half there and decided he needed to make yet another move, this time to Las Vegas, NV to train with Phil Baroni, Marc Laimon, and Dewey Cooper at Cobra Kai. He was given the nickname of "War Machine" by Baroni due to his bio-mechanical tattoos and his original sparring style which he says at first he "couldn’t go light, only hard." Koppenhaver recently returned to San Diego to train at the Undisputed gym under world champion jiu jitsu competitor Baret ’The Finisher" Yoshida and former boxing champ Robert "The Hitman" Garcia. In the past Koppenhaver has trained with fighters like Dewey “Black Kobra” Cooper, Phil Baroni, Kendall Grove, Joe Stevenson and Ken Shamrock.

The 4th best fight of the year in the UFC, 2007!

Event: TUF 6 Finale on 12/8/07

Result: Koppenhaver wins via TKO at 2:01 of round 3

This was an up and down struggle like we have rarely witnessed in the Octagon. Both Koppenhaver and Rollins delivered some intense ground and pound throughout the fight. In fact, Rollins was highly successful in nailing his opponent with some tough elbows from his back, one of which opened up a cut in the first round that caused Koppenhaver to bleed terribly throughout. In the third round, Rollins seemed like he was on his way after connecting with several knees and punches that eventually forced “War Machine” to the canvas. All of this left Rollins on top on the ground as the fight continued.

But then Koppenhaver pulled some magic out of his hat, turning his opponent over, gaining the mount, and continually striking him until the referee had no choice but to step in.

“J-Roc’s my friend, I didn’t want to have to fight him,” said a teary Koppenhaver afterwards. Well, he may not have wanted to fight him, but we’re all very glad that he did.
