Christy Mack, the porn star ex-girlfriend of former UFC and Bellator fighter Jon “War Machine” Koppenhaver, is back in the news after granting ESPN W an interview chronicling her recovery from a brutal assault nine months ago that landed War Machine in solitary confinement.
War Machine stands accused of attacking Mack and a male friend when he caught them asleep in bed together. He allegedly broke 18 of Mack’s bones, knocked out or broke several teeth, ruptured her liver, sawed off her hair with a blunt knife, and left her with a deep thigh bruise that prevented her from walking.
She also said War Machine sexually assaulted her during the attack; when she lobbed that accusation in court, War Machine laughed and shook his head. He denies guilt in the incident and claimed he was the one who was attacked.
The trial is set for the fall, and War Machine has behaved in bizarre fashion since the attack happened. He was a fugitive for several days in the immediate aftermath and tried to commit suicide in jail by hanging himself in his cell. During his incarceration he has written a number of dark poems, and put out strange comments on social media.
During her recovery, Mack updated fans regularly with progress from her myriad injuries. In the interview with ESPN W, Mack said she still feels as if her face isn’t her own.
"Just feeling my face, I knew it wasn't right. So when I'd look in the mirror, it's not me -- that person wasn't me. It's so hard to go every day without being you anymore."
Mack posted a number of tweets like this one.

Before the trial begins in the fall, Mack, who is heavily tattooed, will begin working on new artwork to cover a tattoo on her back and right shoulder that reads “Property of War Machine.” The tattoo can be seen below, in the photo on the right.
