Christy Mack recalls War Machine abuse during trial: ‘He said he would send his Hells Angels friends after me’

On the third day of the so-called War Machine trial, Christy Mack took the stand in a Clark County courtroom.

Mack, the complainant and alleged victim in the trial, proceeded to recall the years of abuse she had suffered during her relationship with War Machine, formerly known as Jon Koppenhaver before a legal name change. For over an hour, the prosecution examined Mack and asked her detailed questions about her relationship with the former MMA fighter.

“I would hide in my bedroom for days on end,” Mack recalled during the trial when asked how she would deal with visible bruises from beatings she endured at the hands of Koppenhaver.
