MMA Fighter ‘War Machine’ Brutally Assaults Pornstar Ex-Girlfriend, Later Tweets He Is Being Framed

On early Friday morning, MMA fighter War Machine (motto: “I do Alpha Male sh*t”) allegedly barged into his ex-girlfriends home and nearly beat her to death. He still hasn’t turned himself in, insisting that he is being framed by the police.

According to Christy Mack, the two had been broken up for several months and she doesn’t know what made him decide to break into her house and attack her. She says that once he was in the house, he went ballistic immediately. A friend was over who War Machine punched several times before throwing him out of the house. Unfortunately, that was only the beginning of the hours-long nightmare that played out at Mack’s home.

Mack, who is recovering at a hospital recounted her assault and harrowing escape on her Twitter account.

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 my injuries 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.

Mack also alleges that War Machine tried to ? her, but was unable to perform. Instead, he grabbed a “dull knife” and chopped off much of her hair. After prolonged abuse, her attacker went into another room to find a sharper knife and Mack made her escape out her back door. She managed to get to a neighbor’s house and was taken to a nearby hospital. When police went to investigate Mack’s house, War Machine was gone.

Highlighting how close Mack had come to being murdered, she also said that War Machine had cancelled her cell phone plan so that “no one would worry about” her whereabouts if she went missing.



Police have offered a $10,000 reward for his capture, but so far been unable to locate him.

That isn’t to say he is laying low since the assault, War Machine has been very active on social media. Despite the mountain of evidence against him, War Machine has spent the weekend at-large and sending out a series of tweets claiming that he was being framed for the crime.

Astonishingly, some of War Machine’s fans have come to the fighter’s defense accusing Christy (who works as a porn star) of being unfaithful and that if War Machine caught her with another man he was justified in how he reacted.

Hey folks, it shouldn’t have to be said, but here we go again: There is never an excuse to beat your partner, ex-partner or any variation in between.

Note: I call him “War Machine” throughout this article rather than by his birth name of John Koppenhaver because that is what he changed his name to. He is legally named Mr. War Machine.



Her account of what happened...

At around 2 am Friday morning, Jon Koppenhaver arrived unannounced 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 my 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 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 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 ? me, but was disappointed in himself when he could not 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 my back door, shutting it behind me so the dogs didn't run inside to tip him off. I hopped the fence to the golf course behind my house and ran to a neighboring house. Naked and afraid he would catch me, I kept running through the neighborhood knocking on 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 all 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 every day, 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
