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.
read his twitter, basically he said where do they get this info.. he posted the info on his twitter for his 4,000 followers.

Everyone else can call the WAH-mbulance. about 3 hours ago via web # If I didn't have this lame staph infection I'd fight. I NEED the money...wtf? Retards swear I am happy I'm sick. Anyway, only person I'm about 3 hours ago via web # AGENT about my illness and he told the promoter. When I post stuff on my Twitter it is to my friends/fans. So enough with the lame gossip. about 3 hours ago via web # 1st of all I have an AGENT that deals with promoters. PROFESSIONALS have AGENTS and REAL fight organizations talk to your AGENT.
