War Machine, aka Jonathan Koppenhaver, appeared today in a Las Vegas courtroom and heard an expanded list of charges stemming from his alleged assault of ex-girlfriend and adult-film star Christy Mack.
Prosecutors added 25 felony counts to the seven already contained in a criminal complaint against Koppenhaver, most notably two felony counts of attempted murder for Koppenhaver’s alleged beating of Mack and her male friend this past month at her Las Vegas home.
The fighter faces a total of 32 felony counts, among them battery by strangulation, sexual assault, kidnapping, coercion and burglary. He now faces the possibility of life in prison.
Koppenhaver is being held without bail in Las Vegas and will next appear in court on Oct. 17 for a preliminary hearing, which will decide whether the case is heard in district court, Las Vegas district attorney spokesperson Tess Driver today told MMAjunkie.
Koppenhaver’s lawyer told TMZ Sports the charges against Koppenhaver, 32, are the result of “overzealous prosecution.” Another told NBCNews.com he wants his client to be judged as a human being and not an MMA fighter.
Las Vegas district attorney Steve Wolfson said Mack is at home healing from her injuries and will testify against Koppenhaver.
Koppenhaver was extradited to Las Vegas earlier this week from Ventura County (Calif.) Jail, where he was taken after his arrest this past month at a hotel in Simi Valley, Calif. He was tracked down with the help of the U.S. Marshals Office and reportedly was Tasered by police after a hotel guest spotted him getting physical with another woman.
After news of the alleged assault surfaced, Koppenhaver wrote on Twitter that he planned to surprise Mack with an engagement ring and wound up fighting for his life. Mack released a statement that named the fighter as her assailant and included graphic images of the damage she suffered. She reportedly fled the house while Koppenhaver was searching for a knife and dialed 911 from a neighbor’s house.

Don't see how someone can face life in prison for attempted murder while someone who actually does murder someone only serves like 7 years?

Accumulation of charges, plus intent, prior charges and a buggery of other things.
Wouldn't say he deserves life, but the ****nugget should've thought of that before he beat the **** out of two people.

Didn't he nearly kill her and attempted to rape her? He seems like a threat to society, although i don't really want to comment on his possible life sentence because American prison system is retarded. He has mental illnesses so I wonder how that is going to effect his sentence, didn't he say he attacked her in self defense?
******* needs a better lawyer or it's goodbye freedom.

If he faces life in prison it should not be for attempted murder but for stupidity (wanting to marry a cum dumpster).

the dudes a ticking time bomb either way, has been for years. i really doubt he's going to get his chit squared away, and once he's out it's only a matter of time before he's back in. i liked watching him fight though, he bought a real energy to it that most guys just don't have.

Phuck him.... it's not like this is his first time getting into trouble.
It's better to keep him locked up then giving him his 5th chance to kill/hurt someone

War machine doesn't need jail he needs therapy. Cage an animal is only gonna piss it off and when it gets released back into the wild that's when chit will get real srs.
Sentence: House arrest and therapy."Yes, I figure if I can't make them like me I can make them dislike me. Then I'm in her mind. At least she knows of me. She feels something.
And I hope when she's touching herself that night thinking of Wentworth Miller or whoever the fuk, right as she is about orgasm somehow I enter her head and ruin her kumshot.
