In another piece of disheartening news from this week, adult film star Christy Mack posted horrific images of the aftermath of her ex-boyfriend's, MMA fighter War Machine, assault. War Machine even tried to portray himself as the victim in a series of tweets, but the authorities weren't convinced. He was arrested in Simi Valley, CA on Friday for allegedly beating Mack.

Mack explained that War Machine, born Jonathan Koppenhaver, came into her home uninvited at 2 AM and assaulted her and the male friend she was with. She said War Machine forced her to strip and take as shower in front of him before the vicious attack. The assaulter went into the kitchen before a naked Mack escaped out of fear for her life. Mack was hospitalized with 18 broken bones and a ruptured liver, according to KTLA 5.

Las Vegas police announced a warrant for his arrest on Tuesday, and the attack was heinous enough to bring Dog The Bounty Hunter into duty. With Bellator MMA severing its ties with War Machine, it's only going to go downhill for the fighter. And justifiably so.
