If we didn't already know it - War Machine is a piece of garbage. Disgusting.

What a scum bag hope he does some serious time for this and hopefully no promotion will ever let this guy fight again.

Normally, I'm a staunch supporter of due process and avoid condemning anyone without lots of evidence.  For that matter, I still am.  We only have her side of the story, but with Koppenhaver's long record of *********gery and criminal violence, I'm very inclined to believe Christy Mack's story.  Even if it's embellished, it's darn near impossible to imagine a scenario that results in her getting beaten so badly that doesn't end up in a lot of jail time for Koppenhaver.

The guy has proven well before this that he doesn't belong in civilized society. Until he's caught and locked up (or resists arrest and suffers the consequences...), anyone he runs into is in danger.

Anybody else remember those terrible "War machine is coming to Bellator" ads that had Koppenhaver on a screen saying he wishes he could beat up the judge that sent him to prison? I would post it but I can't find it.

I don't even know what to say about this... on the same week of the Grispi incident... what the **** is wrong with these people??? Both the cases aren't just your "normal domestic beating", these are a couple of sadistic ****s who have serious issues. 

Almost every second tweet on War Machine's page is "I did this so I didn't have to kill someone" (one of them is a picture of his face beat the **** up where he actually wrote "self inflicted so I wouldn't have to kill someone").

So one's a violent borderline ****cidic whack job and the other's a sadistic pig growing ************ who sics his trained dog on the mother of his children.

What the **** is wrong with the world that these people exist???

I know they were on and off again but if Mack was his ex, did Koppenhaver really expect to win her back with an engagement right? It would be sad if it would have worked.

The man is a danger to society and deserves to be in prison. He is a mental midgit with the emotional control of a toddler.

I'm actually happy that Bellator acted so swiftly, without waiting for the full story to unfold. Koppenhaver is up there with Joe Son.

I like that article. I know it's normal for people to go full ****** on facebook comments but I was actually kind of disgusted by the **** that idiots were saying on this. And not just a few it was like most of the people commenting.

So I guess he's in Canada (not really though), it's up to @gunn, @Tacos and @OMG to collect on that 10K bounty.

You up for the task boys?
