They could put War machine in the same cell with Josh Grispi.   The fluke might feel the skin flute of somebody. is

I don't really agree with this. Sure he most likely did it, but the police haven't pressed charges yet, he is just the primary suspect. I really think Bellator should have waited for charges to have been laid then dropped him. Kind of like guilty until proven innocent here.

Good on Coker on getting rid of a *******, though he probably should've waited until charges were at least pressed. Hope this means other guys with past records of similar abuse won't be allowed in the promotion. Wish the UFC would follow suit and get rid of Trujillo.

More details have come out. Mack was beaten so bad she could barely speak. Macks family and friends are offering $5000 for info leading to his capture.

You know, I was having a thought yesterday while watching Mike Tyson's boxing promotion about all the crazy **** he has done including raping a woman which resulted in jail time yet now it all seems ok and the guy is revered. I am confused.

@flying_frontkick what needs to happen is a generation reaches adulthood, who wasn't alive when **** really went down, so most don't know about it and a surprise appearance in a successful movie.





The **** happened in '91 and I was born in '92 and I didn't know about it until I was maybe 15/16.

Griffy, you would have a point if this were someone besides War Machine, but he's already been arrested for violent offenses like 5 times and it seems pretty clear he did do something here, so there's not much room to give him benefit of the doubt.

Also, the fact that he went AWOL could be grounds for termination too ... 

I also think that Christy Mack should take something out of this too ... not blaming her for anything but girls who love to brag about how they're "attracted to the bad boy type" need to remember, sometimes those bad boys are actually ... well, bad. And if said bad boy is also a trained fighter with documented anger issues ... well do the math.

Again, not blaming her for anything, just something I think she should take out of this for future reference.

Front Row Brian said on twitter that her jaw and eye socket are broken.  

That's a serious beating.  

War Machine might deserve a hell-in-a-cell match with Fedor.

I say lock him and Grispi in a sealed concrete room forever, let one beat the other to death and then drive himself crazy waiting for his own death (not really sure which is worse, since War Machine will most likely win, and a quick glance at his Twitter page, which I did for the first time today, shows he's got some serious issues - as if we didn't already know that - and would most likely be headbutting the wall about 30 minutes after he kills Grispi).

I can promise you that if War Machine's locked in a room forever with someone, it won't turn into an imaginary poker game. 15 minutes tops before he starts going bonkers.
