Christy Mack opens up about night of War Machine assault
It has been almost a year since MMA fighter War Machine, whose real name is Jonathan Koppenhaver, allegedly beat his girlfriend Christy Mack and another man. Mack, an adult film star, recently sat down with HBO to discuss the incident for a “Real Sports” piece on domestic violence in MMA that will air on Tuesday night.
“I don’t remember the first hit. I just remember him charging at me,” Mack said. “I could taste the blood in my mouth. I’m going in and out of consciousness.
“At one point, he had kicked me so hard in my side that it ruptured my liver. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t catch my breath. I started convulsing. At that point I felt like I was going to die.”
