I don't care for this documentary because if you do them, you should do them unbiasedly... which you definitely did not.. I don't condone these actions but don't make Chrissy Mac to be some innocent angel she ain't.. fake tears on the stand, cheating on him, fucking with his head ,a pornstar slut. In a life sentence for this case is totally out of pocket I've known people that would get 10 years for a murder
Nah.. He f^cked up and fell in love with a pron star like a fool. and predictably, she cheated on him; and being already damaged, it trigger a deep trauma in him-- but that's still no excuse for hitting her. But I'm just saying, she's not innocent in the situation.
Both of my parents were alcoholics. I was abused. I was bullied at school. I grew up to become a loving father and husband. I am now an engineer. Your upbringing is no excuse to treat other humans like garbage.
I trained with Jon in San Diego back in 2004-2006. To say he was "troubled" would be like saying "the sun is hot"....it was blatantly obvious. The gym we trained at (Undisputed) is on University ave, so every once in a blue moon some drunk ass would stumble through the front door talking shit, saying he could whoop everyone's ass here, blah blah blah. Most of us would just chuckle and carry on doing what we were doing, but Jon wouldn't have any of it. If the guy was lucky and Jon was in a good mood, you would just get choked unconscious, literally rolled out the front door and bitch slapped across the face to wake you up. If Jon was having a bad day....you get the idea. Going out with Jon was quite the adventure as well. Only went out once or twice with that crew, but they were the kings of the "come at me bro" chest bump movement. Once Jon made it on the Ultimate Fighter, that's when he really started going downhill. You need to have a special kind of mindset to handle fame, Jon didn't have it. His ego was out of control, he didn't train as hard, got into heavy drugs, ext. we were never "friends"....mostly aquentencies who would punch each other in the face from time to time, just observations made from a distance
@@jdillon575 not one bit. The 2 times I did it was for like a guys on the teams birthday or something like that. We were never close buddies or anything. We all trained at the same gym, that was all
I lost my father too when I was young, but it never justify' s or excuses you for beating the fuck outta a barely a hundred pound woman because she kicked me to the curb. That's life, grow a pair!
understand what you're saying that. Its not the girls fault they are the victim, but they are weakmind. And being weakmind is the problem.The guy is a sociopath. He walked all over those girls, and insult them. and they apologized for him and made excuses for him. forgave him and took him back, one of his girl even covered for him. The guy is not weakmind, he is a predator and dangerous to society. He belongs locked up.
The problem wasn't his traumatic past. The problem was getting too many "slaps on the wrist" and not having a mentor to act as a father figure ever since his dad tragically died. There have been other athletes (including fighters) and celebrities who have been through equally harsh childhoods. Some even worse. And yet, still managed to overcome those circumstances. Bottomline, any fighter or martial artists who abuses their skills like this deserves everything War Machine got and more.
I work in a Youth Housing setting and you've got the nail on the head really. I see so many kids using aggressive behaviour to get their own way and being allowed get away with it over and over and it will end up with them in jail. You can sympathize to a point especially when there has been past trauma, but there reaches a point when you have to take accountability.
Every martial artist who abuses their skills deserves everyone war machine does and more? Makes zero sense. Learn how to talk before you try to rant gibberish.
Moral of the story 1. Don’t date a pornstar. 2. Don’t date a jealous steroid freak with masculinity issues. 3. Don’t date a pornstar with a jealous steroid freak boyfriend with masculinity issues
the fact he had so much run ins with the law and they all let it slide every time is amazing. many normal humans do way less and get the full force of the law.
@@daviddesor yea if he was black he would e gotten reperations, the lady would've been thrown in jail for complaining, and the cops would've been fired for arresting him because racism. You do realize POC are given 30x more leniency than any other group right? Cops all but have to beg them to behave civilized before they can so much as write them a ticket.
My brother had the same issue. He got several domestics, a DUI, a tresspassing charge at the bar, and several other things. They just kept letting him out, and he would get another charge every month.. I finally thought they had him for good, and his bail was $120k-- so I didn't think he was getting out; but he knew the bail bondsman so well-- that the damn bail bondsman came down to the station and paid the $12k to bail him out--- because we were building houses and my brother was getting paid good money; so he did end up paying that $12k- just to bail out ONCE; let alone all the other times. Eventually he pushed a cop when they tried to arrest him again, and they threw the book at him----- gave him 14 years for all of his chargers. smh.. that was in 2011, and he's still in there.
I used to train with Jon back right after high school. He was deeply misunderstood. He wanted so bad to be accepted and respected. I remember inviting him to my family's Thanksgiving dinner one year. He didn't show up. When I saw him at class after, he literally cried with embarrassment and sorrow saying he didn't feel comfortable going. He was a tormented soul.
I still remember him crying after hurting his friend when fighting in TUF finale. He looked so kind and bothered that he had to fight his friend. It’s like he’s a fully different person now. What a shame.
problem was they put his ass in solitary for 2 years. That can break even sane people and he was mentally unstable and weak and those 2 years really made him into the worst version of himself. maybe he would have done the same anyway but still one might think that maybe just maybe things could have turned out different.
Was never a fan but knew I couldn't stand him when he started spitting on Evan Tanners grave. Tanner was pure class and a great (short lived) champion in the UFC.
When good hearted people exp trauma, they work hard to become strong, in order to make sure they never perpetrate that trauma onto others, especially loved ones. Weak and evil people perpetuate the cycle of hurt and abuse onto anyone in their path. The details of this attack made me sick to my stomach. I can't imagine hurting any woman this way, even if it was one coming at you with a knife or a gun etc. Let alone someone you supposedly loved. Truly sickening. This pos is exactly where he belongs.
You are correct, I came from a violent childhood and a father that beat my mother constantly in front of me for as little as not having dinner ready when he was hungry. He wasn't a drunk and didn't do drugs, he was just a P.O.S. I have made it a point to NEVER touch a woman even when I've been punched in the face by a couple. A real man should be strong enough to just walk away instead of putting their hands on a woman
So the guy refused to fight cos he had nothing to gain ...that sounds like a guy that doesn't believe he can win ...unless he's beating up women .What a coward .There's no excuses for severe violence were all in control and losing your father doesn't cause you to behave like a shit bag
You’d literally shit your pants if you were standing anywhere near him he would DESTROY you fuckin chicken shit little keyboard warrior. KNOW YOUR PLACE. And yours is well below the legend known as War Machine (maybe God grant him freedom).
This was well done, Steven! Good job on delving into some of the more infamous moments or careers in this sport. From crazy horse to war machine, the doping days of pride to the cheaters of today, with every one you do they keep getting better! If you haven't done one yet, you should do a deep dive on Rousimar Palhares, and the holding submissions thing, and how dangerous he was to do that! With your expertise, you could give us plebs a real breakdown of how crippling those effects could be, as well as maybe ways to avoid those holds or counter them, too!
I like how people will use childhood trauma to tug at the hart strings. Many people including myself suffered far worse childhood problems and yet I did not turn into a psyco. Sorry but using childhood trauma is no excuse to be a bad person. I have my wife to thank for saving my life. I was in a very very dark place. And she accepted me with all my faults and saw the good person deep down inside. She has given me a beautiful duaghter who is 15 now. And the absolute everything in both our lives. Sorry but many people deal with real bad childhoods and they overcome or get help and turn out to be great pillars in the community. This guy is just a pos with 0 empathy for others.
Oh really? Some don't get a wife to overcome. Welcome to humanity. There's no excuse for being like that. Guess what? They don't care. Criminals will commit crimes. Not everyone is f'ing Batman like you. Some go full Joker. Welcome to Earth.
That's not fair and just stupid, its because you're sensitive to the porn hole. Making it to the top promotion is the equivalent in baseball making it to the big leagues... Life is a bit rough for beating the hell out of someone when OJ is still free lol 8-10 years will be good for him.
@@pip5935 LIFE IN PRISON IS BS, GIRL IS STILL ALIVE, 5 YEARS IS LONG BUT THE MAX SHOULD OF BEEN 5 YRS NOT YOUR WHOLE EXISTANCE FOR BEATING UP YOUR EX , IT'S A CRIME OF PASSION, SPUR OF THE MOMENT, IT WASN'T EVEN PREMEDITATED, OH PLEASE
No excuse. That being said, I have a hard time feeling bad for her. She’s a glamorized prostitute who wanted the easy money and glamorous life. Common sense should have told her from the beginning this guy was dangerous to be around but of course that’s why chicks like her stay around him, for the danger aspect. She wanted to be with the roided out ufc animal and she ended up getting hurt. It’s messed up, but I don’t feel sorry for people like her.
It is sad tho he was a dope fighter but way outa control. With great power comes great responsibility, and abuse of such power comes great consequences.
Ladies, if you date a man who refers to himself as "WarMachine", "KIller", "Ilikeknives" or any variation on that theme you must anticipate that the relationship you're entering into will bear no resemblance to the one shared by Ward and June Cleaver on "Leave it to Beaver". Just saying.
I have seen this guy, twice; in the video, wearing a t shirt that said alpha male. He is the furthest thing from an alpha male as one could get. A true alpha male does not try to control any one but him self. If some one needs protecting, an alpha male steps right up, no matter the situation. An alpha male is a protector, not a predator.
He looks like he was on steroids for years. That certainly did not help his uncontrolled rage. I followed this closely at the time and media would often say he was a UFC fighter. Yet he only had two UFC fights.
Great video Steven. Having had very similar trauma at the exact same age, losing a father at 13 really rocks your boat around, you no longer know what's forward anymore, you've lost your closes role model and getting a terrible step father won't make it any better, just a lot worse. It fucking sucks, but still, it does not make his actions any more acceptable.
I see you finding your lane. I enjoy the bully beat down videos, but this is that top notch quality. Keep this up and you'll have that gold player button sooner than later.
Almost to death. He is a UFC fighter, trained in martial arts, his hands could be considered weapons. In past he almost ki11ed his step dad, and he beat them super bad see the details
It's a real shame he turned out the way he did, because I actually felt some real compassion for him during his time in the TUF house. Just seemed like a dude with a troubled past, trying to make his way through martial arts, kind of like Chris Leben. I couldn't have been further from the mark. Great work as always Steven.
So true ,I suppose his dad dieing young and other things built up,I'm not making excuses for him,I bet he'd be fighting in b.k.f.c right now if he wouldn't have got jailed.
I remember the Christy Mack injuries when I was a teen from googleing her for .... *cough* uh reasons and seeing War Machine did it but I didn't know he was gonna kill her, wtf!
Excellent documentary. I only really heard of this guy from what he did to the girl. It may be an interesting idea to delve into the change in fight culture, from the days of Sugar Ray Robinson and Rocky Marciano, who acted as gentlemen as showed their opponents and their sport respect, compared and contrasted with today’s fighters who act more like WWE actors at times than anything else. Either way, love the content.
A lot of the current UFC champions like Volk, Adesanya, Usman and goats like GSP, Silva, and Khabib are genuinely respectful and interesting guys and great role models Hopefully this continues to influence the sport away from the trembalone, neck tattoo'd ex-delinquents who seemed to make such a vast portion of the fighters and audience back in those days
Steven, great work man, great research, and a very thorough presentation! I love your videos! I have trained bjj and muay thai here in Utah, but it would be a dream for me to be able to one day make it out to NY and roll with you! I can tell I would learn more rolling with you 3 rounds than I would learn in a whole year here with my buddies. I'm not kissing butt, I just can tell you have a unique grasp on martial arts and an above average ability to not only recognize and use techniques, but teach them also. Love what you are doing man, these documentaries as well as your fight breakdowns. Thanks for sharing!
This PoS got married in prison a few years back… Fucking weird that psycho effect has on some women lol hopefully he never gets out though to do the same. Love the docos btw bro!
They call it hybristiphylia. Women fall in love with beasts, killers, psychopaths and sociopaths. They love the polarity between them and their own innocence, it’s exhilarating. Most women settle with unattractive boring men. These dangerous men in prison turn women on and keep them excited. It is intoxicating for women, this is why they marry them.
"Can you really blame war machine in this case"? Yes. He could have sought help but decided not to and use his dad being a cop to get off with crimes. He is totally to blame for his actions.
Yeah, seems like Steven would be ok with some random homeless junkie killing him if they had "a hard life". Koppenhaver didn't even have it that rough. Seems like an a-hole who was taught at home self-righteous morals.
@@VisceralCarbon ya she must be an angel, you know the pornstar that sold her body for money... It was all the guy, they weren't both disgusting people at all...
There is a sizeable minority of fighters who are deeply insecure, narcissistic muscle-children. This has always been the case, and unfortunately, will likely always be. :(
completely agree with you man back in the day out of my team out of 12 we had 2 completely UNHINGED But highly skilled guys. One of them was a victim of molestation and he was a guy of course wasn’t evil or anything he was a great person but his mood swings were out of his fucking world like we learned to just calm him and the other one would always struggle to keep it in the gym but on one note he did stop a robbery in Walgreens here in florida in 2010 i believe where he literally beat the 2 suspects nearly to death and Got a commendation from the sheriffs department
That dude must be out his mind spending the night with her. Knowing damn well her crazy ass MMA fighting boyfriend might pop up. He should have kept his distance till things calmed down or whatever. Did he really think he would just talk this out if he popped up? And he left what a pussy at least keep trying keep him busy so she could run or something and he didnt even call 911. Not that he would keep him busy for long but still.
What a tragic and depressing story! The only consolation is that Christy Mack made it out alive - hopefully she recovered from her injuries. Another great and impressive documentary, Steven! If I hadn't subscribed and turned on the notifications already long ago, I would surely do it now. ;-)
nah women like her just like bad boys and this is what happens when you just want to be with that type. So now all she does is just get piped up without commitment which is what she was doing when she was with this dude. she was cheating on him and he caught her in the act and did what he did which is messed up cause he is so much bigger than her and fought professionally. He is a douche bag for that and deserves to do life in prision.
@@ltisenotem that word gets thrown around like christie mack! When someone states facts about a women's situation they get labeled a incel haha. It sounds like you are the one throwing yourself at women and doing everything you can to please then that is pathetic. Plus to ge an incel means I can't get laid and I am in a committed relationship which we both show respect to one another and don't power trip over one another either.
@@ltisenotem ok my bad. But you are saying if someone speaks one way that is what incels do and I am saying if females do one thing it means they are of a certain nature so that is where I'm getting at. But mabey I am putting them all in a box unintentionally. I just mean a certain type of women
I come from a very disfunctional family and had a troubled upbringing too, but I'd never put my hands on any woman like that.. War Machine is a little boy in a mans body and I hope his victims take peace in the knowledge that he's now in hell for what he's done!
@@versatileduplicity9313 I was abused by step father every day, he broke my nose when I was 14 and that's when my excuse of a mother finally left him.. that's just my childhood in a nut shell I'm now 35 and I'm an absolute warrior! but I'd still never lay hands on a woman.. abuse can send you 1 way or the other and luckily I'm as strong as they come!
something about another man inside your house and on your bed and couch with your woman doesnt sit right with me, he did what he had to and she got lucky, dont do trifling sh!t especially to a man prone to violence, she was literally begging for this to happen she is fkn crazy to cheat with another man inside the house of her current bf. these comment sections aint real they just saying what everyone wants to hear for likes. I've seen ppl get killed for less here in miami, also she used that court as a novela I cant stand demons I think they both in the wrong period
@@donnymoney4222 it was her house, not his. He just had a key. Still kinda wreckless on her part, probably did it on purpose to make him jealous. My understanding is she sent him naked pics and told him she wanted to see him tonight. Not trying to blame the victim, just saying
PTSD is a terrible destroyer. You have these traumatic events and then they scar you, they knot your head just as knots on your back grip your muscles. For your body, these knots reduce range of motion and the sense of feeling on the affected area. PTSD is the same; it locks your head and stops you from becoming the person you are. You create lifeless masks to continue, yet those masks are always ego based, and under the right circumstances will lash out in whichever poison it picked in your psyche. The sad thing, is people with ptsd could go their whole life and never even know who they truly are, taken hostage by a lifeless monster mask created in their head. Unfortunate for all
Bullshit i saw my mum die in car accident when i was 13 and i did kickboxing training and Karate for 16 years were i learned respect for others. Half the problem here is drugs and steroids. Maybe mma need to teach the same old values that traditional martial arts teach there students such as modesty and respect.
Like Mayhem Miller, War Machine was also let go with zero consequences multiple times after violently assaulting people. And like Miller, not being held accountable for his actions didn’t help WM.
Deep down, all of those actions were basically an overcompensating outlet to who he really was at heart, an extremely insecure, incredibly afraid, lost little boy who was living in deep rooted fear and pain. He never was able to overcome his demon's and what he saw that day when his father passed. It would be a scene that kept playing in his mind daily. His childhood was forever tainted, robbed from him. Due to the separation of his parent's. This is why it is unbelievably important to maintain a healthy relationship with your kid's, even if the two parent's aren't together. Because then it'll lead the kid down this type of road in the future. All of these violent tendencies was him not understanding how to control his emotions. I'm not justifying what he did. But his past is definitely to blame here. It all traces back to his parent's, and the outcome of said situation. When a kid experiences that type of trauma, it's usually going to inflict a hard psychological pain that will be unbelievably difficult to cope with later on in life. Some use it a a means to shape there life into becoming a better individual. He was somewhat on the right track with that by choosing to use his pain as sport legally. But then personal issues got the better of him, and he went on a downward spiral on the sidelines. Obviously, a very disturbed, self absorbed man, who had no guidance, and couldn't handle himself. I'm just glad nobody died from this. (The violence i mean).

He wasn't a drunk and didn't do drugs, he was just a P.O.S. I have made it a point to NEVER touch a woman even when I've been punched in the face by a couple. A real man should be strong enough to just walk away instead of putting their hands on a woman
Breaking the cycle. Mindset.
You act like these chics are innocent he's a dummy thinking he can trust porn girls .
Oh my bad he actually talking about her so she knew not mess with him but it was a turn on .
If a woman comes at you with a gun you can beat the shit out of them though
So the guy refused to fight cos he had nothing to gain ...that sounds like a guy that doesn't believe he can win ...unless he's beating up women .What a coward .There's no excuses for severe violence were all in control and losing your father doesn't cause you to behave like a shit bag
You’d literally shit your pants if you were standing anywhere near him he would DESTROY you fuckin chicken shit little keyboard warrior. KNOW YOUR PLACE. And yours is well below the legend known as War Machine (maybe God grant him freedom).
True
This was well done, Steven! Good job on delving into some of the more infamous moments or careers in this sport. From crazy horse to war machine, the doping days of pride to the cheaters of today, with every one you do they keep getting better! If you haven't done one yet, you should do a deep dive on Rousimar Palhares, and the holding submissions thing, and how dangerous he was to do that! With your expertise, you could give us plebs a real breakdown of how crippling those effects could be, as well as maybe ways to avoid those holds or counter them, too!
I like this Palhares idea! Dude was a roided wacko too.
@@mrjuse5470 yep! He was skilled, but brutal and dangerous, and ultimately that was his demise..

It's so weird and crazy to me that some people go through trauma and turn into people like this and some people live normal lives.
Watch a movie called Crazy; not Insane, it’s all about what makes that difference and what makes a truly dangerous person.

I like how people will use childhood trauma to tug at the hart strings.
Many people including myself suffered far worse childhood problems and yet I did not turn into a psyco. Sorry but using childhood trauma is no excuse to be a bad person.
I have my wife to thank for saving my life. I was in a very very dark place. And she accepted me with all my faults and saw the good person deep down inside.
She has given me a beautiful duaghter who is 15 now. And the absolute everything in both our lives.
Sorry but many people deal with real bad childhoods and they overcome or get help and turn out to be great pillars in the community.
This guy is just a pos with 0 empathy for others.
Well said.

Oh really? Some don't get a wife to overcome. Welcome to humanity. There's no excuse for being like that. Guess what? They don't care. Criminals will commit crimes. Not everyone is f'ing Batman like you. Some go full Joker. Welcome to Earth.

To be fair, the UFC cut him after a couple fights. He's hardly a UFC fighter
That's not fair and just stupid, its because you're sensitive to the porn hole. Making it to the top promotion is the equivalent in baseball making it to the big leagues...
Life is a bit rough for beating the hell out of someone when OJ is still free lol
8-10 years will be good for him.
The ufc offered him a fight after ufc 84 but he dropped it and left the ufc

Still a trained fighter
Well he got there though

I truly feel bad about his rough upbringing, but there’s no excuse for what he did.
Doesn’t really warrant a life sentence though
No excuse. That being said, I have a hard time feeling bad for her. She’s a glamorized prostitute who wanted the easy money and glamorous life. Common sense should have told her from the beginning this guy was dangerous to be around but of course that’s why chicks like her stay around him, for the danger aspect. She wanted to be with the roided out ufc animal and she ended up getting hurt. It’s messed up, but I don’t feel sorry for people like her.

It is sad tho he was a dope fighter but way outa control. With great power comes great responsibility, and abuse of such power comes great consequences.
I'm a documentary connoisseur, my man. You got the goods. Keep doing your thing, improving with each outing. I'll be watching them all. Salute
Ladies, if you date a man who refers to himself as "WarMachine", "KIller", "Ilikeknives" or any variation on that theme you must anticipate that the relationship you're entering into will bear no resemblance to the one shared by Ward and June Cleaver on "Leave it to Beaver". Just saying.
I have seen this guy, twice; in the video, wearing a t shirt that said alpha male. He is the furthest thing from an alpha male as one could get. A true alpha male does not try to control any one but him self. If some one needs protecting, an alpha male steps right up, no matter the situation. An alpha male is a protector, not a predator.
Funniest part about this is that was his BRAND lol. He and another dude he met in prison (I think) started Alpha Male when they got out.
Lol no
Loving these documentaries dude, your tone is perfect for these. Can’t wait to see what ones you do next keep up the great work
This is quality content. It really is.
"With every single win coming from KO or submission"
I think thats pretty common in MMA.
He’s to damaged for relationships. Some people you can’t heal man. There’s holes of pain in certain people and they feel that shit to their souls.
His first issue was trying to "date" a pornstar, who is effectively a highly paid hooker.
He probably shouldn't try to force a "normal relationship"
"Sort of like how I'm gonna punish you guys if you don't leave a like." Brilliant, and great video bro.
He looks like he was on steroids for years. That certainly did not help his uncontrolled rage. I followed this closely at the time and media would often say he was a UFC fighter. Yet he only had two UFC fights.
As soon as you have one UFC fight you are a UFC fighter :) It is an achievement itself to be in the UFC in the first place.
Those transitions man, epic!
When Christy Macks mother looked at war machine as she spoke in court...
If ever there was a time looks could kill 👀
I heard he is on laundry duty in prison where he is now known as washing machine.
Great video Steven.
Having had very similar trauma at the exact same age, losing a father at 13 really rocks your boat around,
you no longer know what's forward anymore, you've lost your closes role model and getting a terrible step father won't make it any better, just a lot worse.
It fucking sucks, but still, it does not make his actions any more acceptable.
It's so sad that his father died while they were picking tomatoes together !
I see you finding your lane. I enjoy the bully beat down videos, but this is that top notch quality. Keep this up and you'll have that gold player button sooner than later.
His mother was a nurse. In the very next setence: his mother suffered from drug addiction. Tragic.
There is a lot of drug abuse in the healthcare field. High stress job, long hours, injuries etc.
Clnical Pharm.D. here, and have a history of addiction. I don't blame that on "long hours". That's a bullshit excuse. It was my weak character.
@@badballiance87 long hours and stressors can exacerbate problems, especially if you already have weak character.
How does someone get a life sentence for beating someone?
Almost to death. He is a UFC fighter, trained in martial arts, his hands could be considered weapons. In past he almost ki11ed his step dad, and he beat them super bad see the details
"Beating someone" scrapes the surface
He had a history of violence. Your criminal background adds up.
Almost beating someone to death, kidnapping, rape, etc etc 😅
He had prior offences. The assault of Christy was the last straw.
What he did was wrong, wrong, wrong! He'll have a lifetime to ponder that.
He was offered a plea deal of 15 years where he could have been out in about 12 but he turned it down in favor of going to trial..

It's a real shame he turned out the way he did, because I actually felt some real compassion for him during his time in the TUF house. Just seemed like a dude with a troubled past, trying to make his way through martial arts, kind of like Chris Leben. I couldn't have been further from the mark. Great work as always Steven.
So true
,I suppose his dad dieing young and other things built up,I'm not making excuses for him,I bet he'd be fighting in b.k.f.c right now if he wouldn't have got jailed.
2 years of solitary really pushed him over the edge.

I didn't realize how horrific the attack was; there is no coming back from that.
He should not be in prison for life. It’s insane.
Then what's your solution another slap on the wrist?
So how many people does he need to attack and attempt to kill before the life sentence?

How did a relationship with an MMA fighter end up abusive? What a shock. If you go out with this type of man, expect it.
Plenty of fighters have never almost beat their girlfriend to death. Oh wait, actually almost all of them haven’t done that.
Jon is like the only one. Lol.
dumb comment//way more relationships that I've heard of have been different...
you deserve a double decker sandwich
Girlfriend and pornstar should never be in the same sentence
Uhhhh he is also in porn, as referenced in this video.
Excellent documentary. I only really heard of this guy from what he did to the girl. It may be an interesting idea to delve into the change in fight culture, from the days of Sugar Ray Robinson and Rocky Marciano, who acted as gentlemen as showed their opponents and their sport respect, compared and contrasted with today’s fighters who act more like WWE actors at times than anything else.
Either way, love the content.
If you wanna watch one of his fights go for Jared Rollins Vs warmachine,it's a good one
Muhammed Ali was the turning point
A lot of the current UFC champions like Volk, Adesanya, Usman and goats like GSP, Silva, and Khabib are genuinely respectful and interesting guys and great role models
Hopefully this continues to influence the sport away from the trembalone, neck tattoo'd ex-delinquents who seemed to make such a vast portion of the fighters and audience back in those days

I saw a phone interview couple yrs ago he’s all spiritual now he knows he fucked up. Roid rage is a MF
They call it hybristiphylia. Women fall in love with beasts, killers, psychopaths and sociopaths. They love the polarity between them and their own innocence, it’s exhilarating. Most women settle with unattractive boring men. These dangerous men in prison turn women on and keep them excited. It is intoxicating for women, this is why they marry them.
Lol, wtf is wrong with that chick. She is actually good looking to
It was because of War Machine that I learned what an "upper decker" is. For that I'm truly grateful 🙏🏻
"Can you really blame war machine in this case"? Yes. He could have sought help but decided not to and use his dad being a cop to get off with crimes. He is totally to blame for his actions.
No sane man commits himself to a porn star 😕 she’s literally everybody’s property like those porta potties 🚽 they put for construction workers
Yeah, seems like Steven would be ok with some random homeless junkie killing him if they had "a hard life".
Koppenhaver didn't even have it that rough. Seems like an a-hole who was taught at home self-righteous morals.

Dude was always on steroids. You can see it in how small he got after getting locked up.
There is a sizeable minority of fighters who are deeply insecure, narcissistic muscle-children. This has always been the case, and unfortunately, will likely always be. :(
completely agree with you man back in the day out of my team out of 12 we had 2 completely UNHINGED But highly skilled guys. One of them was a victim of molestation and he was a guy of course wasn’t evil or anything he was a great person but his mood swings were out of his fucking world like we learned to just calm him and the other one would always struggle to keep it in the gym but on one note he did stop a robbery in Walgreens here in florida in 2010 i believe where he literally beat the 2 suspects nearly to death and Got a commendation from the sheriffs department
"sizable minority" sounds like it's alot more than just the minority.

PTSD is a terrible destroyer. You have these traumatic events and then they scar you, they knot your head just as knots on your back grip your muscles. For your body, these knots reduce range of motion and the sense of feeling on the affected area.
PTSD is the same; it locks your head and stops you from becoming the person you are. You create lifeless masks to continue, yet those masks are always ego based, and under the right circumstances will lash out in whichever poison it picked in your psyche. The sad thing, is people with ptsd could go their whole life and never even know who they truly are, taken hostage by a lifeless monster mask created in their head.
Unfortunate for all
An apt description.
Bullshit i saw my mum die in car accident when i was 13 and i did kickboxing training and Karate for 16 years were i learned respect for others. Half the problem here is drugs and steroids.

a dude that knocks people out for a living, she is big rat vibes
Deep down, all of those actions were basically an overcompensating outlet to who he really was at heart, an extremely insecure, incredibly afraid, lost little boy who was living in deep rooted fear and pain. He never was able to overcome his demon's and what he saw that day when his father passed. It would be a scene that kept playing in his mind daily. His childhood was forever tainted, robbed from him. Due to the separation of his parent's. This is why it is unbelievably important to maintain a healthy relationship with your kid's, even if the two parent's aren't together. Because then it'll lead the kid down this type of road in the future. All of these violent tendencies was him not understanding how to control his emotions. I'm not justifying what he did. But his past is definitely to blame here. It all traces back to his parent's, and the outcome of said situation. When a kid experiences that type of trauma, it's usually going to inflict a hard psychological pain that will be unbelievably difficult to cope with later on in life. Some use it a a means to shape there life into becoming a better individual. He was somewhat on the right track with that by choosing to use his pain as sport legally. But then personal issues got the better of him, and he went on a downward spiral on the sidelines. Obviously, a very disturbed, self absorbed man, who had no guidance, and couldn't handle himself. I'm just glad nobody died from this. (The violence i mean).
