Pizza was probably delivery. Should have got DiGiorno. That delivery guy just got a $20,000 tip.

Was there ever any doubt that War Machine would be caught? The man changed his legal name to War Machine... You only get to commit crimes and get away with them with a name like that if you live in a ******* comic book. Who brought him to justice? Was it Batman? Superman? Spiderman? PEACE DEVICE? Give me a gaaaawldamn break. 


Footnote: How low does your self esteem have to be as a female to do ****ography and be in a continuously abusive relationship with a professional fighter? Christy Mack makes awesome life decisions.


Footnote 2: The Sequel: I'm not sure if anyone else has pointed this out but I absolutely adore that the address bar for this thread reads "War_Machine_Released_by_Bellator_after_alleged_ass?"

Who brought him to justice? I wouldn't be so quick to cross Spider-Man off just yet.

Also the address bar is still wrong. War Machine not alleged ass, War Machine most legit ass.

@joe kerr, Spider-man didn't catch War Machine.

Apparently he was captured because he assaulted another woman at the hotel. 

From the KTLA news report. 


"Hotel guest Mary Casamento said she called police to the hotel after seeing a “big dude” yelling at and pushing a petite woman who was trying to calm him down. He grabbed her by the hair, Casamento said."


Also he was tazed by police which could be why he went so quietly.

I have a feeling checking in to the hotel using the name 'War Machine' played into his capture too...

"Wait, what was that you said? War Mach... aren't you..."
"Nope, that's a totally different guy called War Machine, mine starts with a silent K" *sheesh, that was close*

@Curtwag- At least that story would have been better than the movie that just came out.

Yeah, I'm a huge TMNT fan but Im not planning on watching the new movie. Michael Bay can suck it. My cousin said he was going to drag me to go see it but on his dime. But that hasnt happened yet, i'm not expecting good things if he does drag me to see it.

I'm disappointed in whoever thought it was a good idea to let Michael Bay make a Ninja Turtles movie. The new Turtles designs look like crap and casting Megan Fox as April makes me feel like he's basically copy pasting his Transformers series ideas. I'm even more disappointed it's getting a sequel(and probably another after that). In

To be fair, he only produced the film, but was still a major part of it. I'm very hopeful for the next one. Casey Jones will be in it. Just hope they get a decent story.

War Machine hit with 32 felony charges (including attempted murder) and may be facing life in prison without parole.

I'm telling you, if this dude goes in for life, he ain't coming out ... he's a hot-head and not the smartest of dudes, one day he's gonna beat up the wrong guy and get gang-shanked ...

Also: "told NBCNews.com he wants his client to be judged as a human being and not an MMA fighter."

**** that ****, when you constantly beat people up outside the cage you get judged as an ******* MMA fighter (AKA someone who's better than most human beings at beating people up) not a regular Joe that got into a bar fight.

I personally feel that professional fighters should be held to a higher level of responsibility when it comes to violent crime.  The rules of presumption of innocence, etc. still apply, but if found guilty, the fact that they are trained fighters should be factored into deciding the penalty.

In self-defense it should have no bearing, but when the fighter initiates the crime, then the penalties are harsher.  I'm OK with this.
