Subject: War Machine fled across the desert and Dog the Bounty Hunter followed
In case anyone is currently unaware of the situation War Machine (an MMA fighter known for having mental problems) recently beat his girlfriend, Christy Mack (a fairly well known pornstar) into a bloody pulp recently and is now on the lam.
Edit: I just now read her account of the assault and apparently this is not the first time her beat her...
Police are looking for MMA fighter War Machine -- aka Jon Koppenhaver -- after he reportedly delivered a savage beating to his ex-girlfriend, 23-year-old adult film actress Christy Mack.
I bet right about now he wishes he would've come up with another name.
The pair broke up in May, which apparently didn't keep him from showing up at her home Aug. 8. He allegedly assaulted Mack and a male friend, who managed to escape.
Mack wasn't so lucky. She tweeted Monday that she suffered "18 broken bones around my eyes, my nose is broken in 2 places, I am missing teeth and several more are broken. I am unable to chew, or see out of my left eye. My speech is slurred from my swelling and lack of teeth. I have a fractured rib and severely ruptured liver from a kick to my side. My leg is so badly injured I have not been able to walk on my own. I also attained several lesions from a knife he got from my kitchen. He pushed the knife into me in some areas such as my hand, ear, and head. He also sawed much of my hair off with this dull knife. After some time, the knife broke off of the handle and he continued to threaten me with the blade. I believed I was going to die. He has beaten me many times before, but never this badly."
Mack wrote that she escaped to a neighbor's house when Koppenhaver went to the kitchen to find a sharper knife. The neighbor took her to a hospital.
If you're feeling nauseous, you aren't the only one.
Koppenhaver is reportedly missing, according to HollywoodLife.com. Las Vegas Police told MMAFighting.com he's currently wanted as the "primary suspect," after leaving two victims with "severe but nonlife threatening injuries."
According to TMZ, there are seven arrest warrants issued: two felony batteries, one strangulation, two felony domestic violence with great bodily injury, felony coercion with the threat of force, felony assault with a deadly weapon, and misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon.
Mack frequently worked with adult product company Fleshlight, which is offering a $5,000 reward for "any information that leads to his apprehension and arrest."
Koppenhaver defended himself Sunday on Twitter, writing that he went to Mack's home Aug. 8 to surprise her with an engagement ring.
"I'm not a bad guy, I went to surprise my gf, help her set up her show and to give her an engagement ring and ended up fighting for my life," he wrote.
He later wrote a series of tweets, saying, "The cops will never give me fair play, never believe me. Still deciding what to do but at the end of the day it's all just heart breaking. I only wish that man hadn't been there and that Christy & I would be happily engaged. I don't know y I'm so cursed. One day truth will come out."
Yes, he's the one who's cursed. It must have been that other guy's fault that a trained fighter named War Machine beat a woman into the hospital.
He also tweeted directly to Mack, writing (pasted together by HollywoodLife) "love you and hope you're okay. I came home early to surprise you and help you set up for your convention. I can't believe what I found and can't believe what happened. All I wanted was to surprise you and help and do something nice ... now this.. I'm so heart broken ... in all ways. I will always love you. I just wanted to see your face when I surprised you with the ring ... this is a nightmare. You're in my thoughts."
His employers don't seem to agree; MMA tournament group Bellator terminated War Machine's contract.
"We have a zero-tolerance policy here at Bellator when it relates to any form of domestic violence," Bellator president Scott Coker told TMZ. "After learning of this latest incident involving (Jon Koppenhaver) War Machine, Bellator is releasing him from his promotional contract with the organization."
Now Dog Chappman of Dog the Bounty hunter fame has tossed his ring into the hat and declared that he is going to bring War Machine down. He's stated that their efforts to catch War Machine will be aired as an episode even if unsuccessful.
He is living up to the stereotypes of MMA well then... Christy Mack seems like a very nice person from her twitter account in the past (Ye, I follow porn stars on twitter.) Hopefully he will do the right thing and turn himself in.
I suspect this is mostly about publicity for Dog. I find it amusing how many people on the comments on that site are saying "He'll get himself killed chasing an MMA fighter"... Ye, really helping the stereotype there...
Anyway, for anyone who is interested, here is Christys full statement. Be warned though, the images on the site (not in the spoiler) are a little graphic, but nothing horrific (Bruising and swelling) but the statement from Christy is brutal. She does not sugar coat it at all, so don't read if you are likely to be upset.
What I will say is the statement makes it clear this was not just an angry rage and went on far longer than just lashing out in anger (not that this is an excuse).
"At about 2 a.m. Friday morning, Jon Koppenhaver arrived announced to my home in Las Vegas, NV. After he broke up with me in May, he moved out of my house and back to San Diego. When he arrived, he found myself and one other fully clothed and unarmed in the house. Without a single word spoken, he began beating my friend; once he was finished, he sent my friend away and turned his attention to me. He made me undress and shower in front of him then dragged me out and beat my face. I have no recollection of how many times i was hit. I just know the injuries that resulted from my beating. My injuries include 18 broken bones around my eyes, my nose is broken in 2 places. I am missing teeth and several more are broken. I am unable to chew, or see out of my left eye. My speech is slurred from my swelling and lack of teeth. I have a fractured rib and severely ruptured liver from a kick to my side. My leg is so badly injured, I have not been able to walk on my own. I also attained several lesions from a knife he got from my kitchen. He pushed the knife into me in some areas including my hand, ear and head. He also sawed much of my hair off with his dull knife.
After some time, the knife broke off of the handle and continued to threaten me with the blade. I believed I was going to die. He has beaten me many times before, but never this badly. He took my phone and cancelled all of my plans for the following week to make sure no one would worry about my whereabouts. He told me he was going to rape me, but was disappointed in himself when he couldn't get hard. After another hit or two, he left me on the floor bleeding and shaking, holding my side from the pain of my rib. He left the room and went to the kitchen where I could hear him ruffling through my drawers. Assuming he was finding a sharper, more stable knife to end my life, I ran out the back door, shutting it behind me so the dogs did not run inside to tip him off. I hopped the fence to the gold course behind my house and ran into a neighboring house. naked and afraid he would catch me, I kept running through the neighborhood running through the doors. Finally, one answered and I was brought to the hospital and treated for my injuries.
I would like to thank everyone for their support through this rough time. I am healing fast and well, and I appreciate a lot of the prayers and visits I have received over the past few days. After many months of fear and pressure to keep this man happy, although I fear for my life, I feel that I can no longer put myself in this situation. The cheating by him nearly everyday, and almost weekly abuse, is now more than I can stand. There is a $10k reward for the capture of Jonathan Koppenhaver at this time. Please report any information to your local police.
Thank you.
- Christy Mack

He deserve to be caught, He clearly is either a massive a-hole, who is now lying through his teeth to gain support, or he needs mental help, I hope he gets caught quickly

They don't have guns. It still won't be even.
Don't get me wrong, I want him nailed, Christy Mack is small as hell and he unleashed the machine on her, she is going through utter misery right now - but Dog coming out of retirement to blab about getting him is just comedy. War Machine will be able to one-shot most of them, he doesn't 'miss' or 'glance' like your typical moron throwing fists at people.

I'm pretty sure they have bear mace and tazers though. Dog knows his business well enough to not let it turn into a fist fight.
PrehistoricUFO wrote: War Machine's business is to close the gap and damage people, he will ensure it becomes a fist fight.
They will definitely need high-end equipment for this mark. I'm anxious to see how it turns out (assuming it isn't just a PR stunt by Dog).
You overestimate people. bear mace is made for...bears. He would go down easy.
Its all PR though. He sounds like vermin.

I'm not familiar with bounty hunters, but does every fugitive carry a reward if they are apprehended?
From what I've heard, they often hunt people who've skipped bail, and the reward comes from the person who paid their bail, as they can stand to lose money as a result of the criminal skipping bail.

Seems like this would just be a stunt then? I'm sure there are better equipped people to take this guy down.
I'd think approaching this guy would be a bad idea, couldn't he have his guns on him? If he's got internet access he'll know about this and it might just push him further over the edge. It's all fun and games when Dog is running his mouth until somebody gets shot because they escalated the situation by bringing it to the world stage.

Although he's got his TV show now, Dog is a real bounty hunter and was one before the show started. He's dealt with high risk bounties before, plenty of which have been likely to have been armed. I don't think he'd go into a situation if he thought it was too dangerous for himself or his crew (several of which are family members of his).

Are the U.S.A. trying to hit on Japan's turf? That was a fairly nice try, but Japan is a freaking master at the art of being strange. The U.S. just will not be able to hold the distance.
I got sum bad newz for Dog, and his whole crew: A mentally unstable MMA professional named War Machine isn't scared of you.
A trained, mentally-unstable human-wrecker who is psychotic and never wants to be taken back to prison:
A brownie hunter:
Guns. Tasers. Or simply finding where he hides and calling the cops.
But really, it is just a guy jumping on a chance to get publicity anyway.

I'm not sure how it works in this particular situation, but most bounty hunters work with a bail bondsman.
Though in this situation half of the $10,000 bounty has supposedly been put forward by the company that makes Fleshlights, for some reason.
I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but either way that's pretty funny.
No. She works with them allot apparently, doing allot of publicity etc with them. Give them some cheap publicity, and they have an interest in this given that she is now unable to work for them at the moment, and more importantly she is a colleague and possibly a friend of the people who work there.

The only fist on fist he would be doing with him is spraying a fist full of tazer or bear mace etc on him. In a 1 on 1 fist fight it would be suicide, but he wont go that route.
Sidebar though, Dog is crazy himself. Fun to watch crazy but crazy none the less.

It makes sense that they would want to help then. It's still somewhat humorous.

Yeah, if you watch the show enough, which is admittedly on the cheesy side (my wife is a big fan so I've seen alot), you do come to realize these guys figured out the Bounty Hunter game way before they became celebrities. This "War Machine" guy is a trained MMA fighter, not a trained criminal.
He'll be caught in no time, probably by the cops.
