War Machine Is Going Back To Jail

By
February 3rd, 2012

Just when War Machine was finally getting life on the right track his world is crashing down around him once again.

War broke the news on Twitter today that a Las Vegas judge sentenced him to another year in jail for some “old bullshit.”

“Sick to my f*cking stomache! Just wait until you all hear the horrible f*cking news I just got…makes me too sick to say it yet.. Seems my year in jail wasnt enough. Just got sentenced to another year in Vegas for some old bullshit. Nevermind Im rehabilitated. Nevermind Ive been out for over 6 months now and doing great and am finally back on my feet. Nevermind all my students that will miss me. Do another year and rot n waste time. Make no money, pay no taxes. Whatever, I just hope my boy @bensaundersMMA wins @BellatorMMA tournament. Fuck the motherf*cking system! F*ck the bullshit! Vacation time, back to jail in 2 weeks! Oh ya the judge looked and me and said she can tell Im on steroids and that thats prolly why I got in so many fights and am angry..lol Bitch … F*ckkkk this is really disheartening. To have done all that time and to be out for this long and doing well to have to go back…kills me.”

Wow.

War Machine has always been a hard guy to have sympathy for, but I honestly feel bad for him this time. He’s made plenty of mistakes in the past, but he did his time and more importantly learned from it. He really seemed to have his head on somewhat straight, his priorities in order and his career back on track with a win over Roger Huerta and a spot in Bellator’s upcoming welterweight tournament. Instead, he’s losing another year wasting away in jail, which I fear will actually undo all the progress he’s made. Heck, he’s already talking about how he wished the plane he flew in today would crash. Great job US justice system.

    I wouldn’t just take his word for it Steve. He hasn’t said what he did or when…so unless you have more info than me I fear your sympathy is a little premature.

      Yeah that’s a possibility. Wouldn’t be the first time. I don’t remember him killing or raping anyone or robbing old defenseless ladies though. Think he got arrested for getting in a fight when he was working at some club in Vegas if I remember correctly. Not sure if its that or not.

    That sucks,I agree that until we know the whole story we really can’t assume the syste failed as he put it but if he’s telling the truth then I honestly feel bad for the guy

      War Machine tells the truth. He is transparent about everything he does. Speaks his mind freely. I’d say he’s one of the most honest people out there.

    This isn’t about WM so much as it’s about a potentially biased judge who
    sent a-guy-who-learned-his-lesson right back to jail for actions he
    took more than a year ago.

    War Machine has been working his ass off to get his life in order since he got out. Obviously if he was in the wrong, he needs to be accountable for his
    actions. But we can certainly take a closer look at this judge who did
    the sentencing.

      It really seems like that judge was anything but professional just from what war says about the judge making a comment about being on steroids

      • http://twitter.com/MichelleLopezCO Michelle Lopez

        I’m in the process of getting a copy of the court transcript so we can see word-for-word what the judge said. WM told me she was making ignorant comments about the MMA industry, and disparaging remarks about professional fighter. I don’t think he’d lie about that. So we’ll see what the transcript shows.

      Do you have any other info that make us think otherwise?

    Wow, that’s really lame. I kind of want to know what he did now though. That judge seemed like a freakin puta, I can’t beleve she said that! It’s bad enough she sentenced him to a year in prison but taking a jab at his appearance was just mean lol.

    Although it all seems very unfortunate, it’s unlikely that they can drum up fake charges that would put someone away for a year.  There has to be more to it that this.  I’m not the biggest fan of our judicial system, but I’m sure he did something wrong that merits punishment. 

    It does seem odd that he already served time for something and now is having to go back again, but if he was really be ”screwed” don’t you think he would have a lawyer fighting this?
