WAR MACHINE SENTENCED IN ASSAULT CASE

Former UFC and Bellator mixed martial arts fighter War Machine has been sentenced to 36 years to life in prison with the possibility of parole after serving 36 years for the brutal beating of his ex-girlfriend, Christy Mack, and her boyfriend, Corey Thomas. Machine, born Jon Koppenhaver, will be 71 when he becomes eligible for parole. In March, Machine was found guilty on 29 of 34 charges. The charges included sexual assault, kidnapping and coercion, though the jury deadlocked on the most serious charges of attempted murder.
