Former mixed martial artist War Machine is facing multiple felony charges after allegedly assaulting his porn actress ex-girlfriend, Christy Mack, and her friend. War Machine claims he found Mack in bed with another man, but Mack says they had broken up and she was with a friend. The judge has allowed all charges to proceed to trial at the end of September, despite defense arguments. War Machine has pleaded not guilty to charges including attempted murder, sexual assault, and battery. He has claimed that he will testify at trial and take responsibility for his actions.
Mack testified that she suffered severe injuries, including a broken nose, missing teeth, and lacerations, during the attack. She stated that War Machine threatened to kill her, sexually assaulted her, and physically harmed her friend Corey Thomas. Thomas testified that he was choked and threatened by War Machine before being released with a warning not to go to the police.
The defense argued that War Machine did not intend to kill Thomas and that his training as a professional fighter should be considered in his defense. The judge has acknowledged that proving attempted murder in Thomas’ case may be difficult. If convicted, War Machine could face life in prison. Mack, who has agreed to have her name made public, did not attend the court appearance and declined to comment.
