War Machine - GONE!!!

The War Machine/Christy Mack saga is over with. Koppenhaver was sentenced to 36 years to life.

Never forget the times Jimmy Smith did the weird high school teen nudge nudge as he was insinuating Christy Mack was a famous gonzo pornstar everytime Koppenhaver fought instead just saying it since people are allowed to curse freely on Spike and pornography doesn't have a ton of novelty anymore.

War Machine sentenced to life in prison, not eligible for parole for 36 years. Good riddance to bad fucking rubbish.

When I saw the thread I thought for a second he'd had the good sense to Hernandez himself. 

I'd much rather the shitstain suffer for the rest of his miserable life than get off so easy.

He said he couldn't believe he hadn't done that himself yet. But for a second I thought you meant Shawn Hernandez, not Aaron.

I sort of stepped on @Elsalvajeloco's toes, since he'd already mentioned it, but such is my hatred for the little shit, I figured a new thread was in order. I'm contemplating mailing him a bar of Irish Spring with "Drop This, Motherfucker!" carved into it as a going away gift.

I was randomly listening to Sherdog one day and I think it was Jordan Breen who was talking about the first time he interviewed War Machine.  He was saying all types of crazy misogynistic shit, that Breen just assumed was general fake macho bullshit, that a lot of young men talk about.  He then said something about destroying women sexually, and Breen realized that this dude isn't joking.  That dude is a sexual predator, and was very comfortable telling the world in a public forum.  Life in prison is not nearly harsh enough a punishment for him.

An MMA fighter that beats women nearly to death? The little fuck better hope that he spends his whole sentence in solitary, he's just a walking trophy for someone.

Koppenhaver was always a little off. However, I think this kinda speaks to the people they were always looking at to do The Ultimate Fighter especially to replicate the success of the earlier seasons. The Chris Leben, Junie Browning, Jesse Taylor, and Julian Lane hypermasculine bros types who are very fragile and unstable. Based on TUF Redemption, Taylor and Lane seem somewhat mature but it's relative to what they use to be. 

MMA still has a weird culture, but it's not the Wild Wild West it use to be where any and everyone can jump into MMA and somehow wind up on national TV.

However, this also speaks to the nature of the Bjorn era of Bellator because they did not vet this dude before they signed him. He was getting into shit in BETWEEN getting cut from the UFC and signing with Bellator. I know it still is Bellator's thing where they do the pre fight video packages where fighters are cursing and whatnot, but they definitely fed into this dude being an outright lunatic. Plus, the wink wink nudge nudge nature of Christy Mack being a pornstar on commentary ("We're ALL familiar with her work." ) and her dealings with Koppenhaver. If everyone knew this dude had a few screws loose, why even play that up when you know this man can snap at anytime especially on a woman close to him? I know at one point you had like Kimbo being a bodyguard for the Reality Kings folks and Frank Trigg wanted to rock a Vince Voyeur sponsorship in the octagon, but maybe don't hype up the fact you have two people from two professions considered very unsavory with one person being a real life psychopath. All that especially considering the end result makes your skin wanna crawl.

"A little off"? Bro, guys like you and me that avidly follow MMA and/or pro wrestling are "a little off", we're talking raving sociopath here. Koppenhaver was always a ticking timebomb (that did go off several times, but without major damages). That Bellator pushed someone like that and gave him a national forum and in all likelihood encouraged his crazy behavior to garner ratings is to their eternal shame...

No, I'm talking about when he first showed up on TUF and ended up on the UFC roster. I meant at no point did I feel he was just a normal fighter and all of sudden he just ended up crazy. All his major stuff was post UFC really (which is why the media isn't hounding the UFC about this), but his behavior on TUF and his comments about Evan Tanner were indicative of what he would turn into. I mean Jesse Taylor and Julian Lane were really crazy, and they still might end up on the UFC roster. That's partly because they spent years outside the UFC trying to clean up their act and didn't really get into major trouble. Bellator's best bet would have been to leave Koppenhaver to his own devices because it's not like he was some elite fighter that they had to pick up. Leave that to freakshow promotions. But they just wanted to do this MMA version of Sid and Nancy, and it backfired.

It should be noted that he was signed by Bellator in 2009 and then immediately cut for saying that he hoped Barack was assassinated along with every other president after him. They signed him again in 2011. Yep.

A wise man in this very forum once said "there's always something horrific going on at Bellator", this is about as sleazy pro-wrestling promoter level creepy as it gets. Also, as has been pointed out, we're not talking an Anderson Silva or even Tito Ortiz level fighter here. I mean really, has anyone ever bought a ticket to see War Machine do anything? Not bloody likely. Bellator doesn't even have the weakass excuse of protecting a huge star, no one has ever given a shit about War Machine. This just smacks of "let's sign this self-admitted sexual predator and trouble-maker and if he goes off, it might pop some ratings!" Disgusting on the level of a FVE heart-attack angle.
