Former MMA fighter War Machine is going to jail, for life. The man born Jonathan Paul Koppenhaver will never see the light of day after being found guilty of repeatedly beating his ex-girlfriend Christy Mack.
Reports TMZ Sports:
The judge said he will be eligible for parole after 36 years … when he is 71. As we reported … he was found guilty of sexual assault, coercion, battery by strangulation, kidnapping and several other charges. The jury was hung on attempted murder charges.
During Monday’s sentencing … War Machine’s ex, porn star Christy Mack, made a tearful plea to the court, saying … “I do know that when he gets out he will kill me.”
He also spoke during the hearing … saying he hates himself for committing the beating. He compared himself to Aaron Hernandez, and reminded the judge of his own attempted suicide after he was arrested in 2014.
Sounds like justice was served.
