You’re likely familiar with Jonathan Koppenhaver, also known as War Machine, the former UFC fighter who allegedly beat his girlfriend, adult film actress Christy Mack. We’ve all seen the pictures, and they’re horrific. Filed under things you can’t “un-see.”
War Machine has been in jail since August 2014 awaiting trial. He has, on countless occasions, said he never intended to kill Mack or her friend Corey Thomas that night. In a pre-trial hearing on Wednesday, Koppenhaver’s lawyer tried to get the attempted murder charges thrown out. In addition, War Machine told the judge that he wanted to take a lie detector test.

Unsurprisingly, the judge wasn’t having it.
“I don’t care, okay? Considering all the arguments, I do find there is slightly marginal evidence to support these counts. I am denying the petition.”
War Machine faces 34 counts of assault, sexual assault and attempted murder. If convicted, he faces a possible life sentence without parole.
