Jonathan “War Machine” Koppenhaver was caught and arrested earlier today in Simi Valley, California after days on the run following the horrific beating of his ex-girlfriend, adult film actress Christy Mack.
The story caught national attention due to the gruesome details and the dreadful pictures Mack shared of her injuries when giving her statement on Twitter.
Dog the Bounty Hunter was on the chase, Corey from Pawn Stars added in to the bounty, and other celebrities did what they could to make a difference in catching War Machine and bringing him to justice.
Ultimately the U.S. Marshals caught War Machine in a hotel room, but not without the help of former UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen:
I caught War Machine.

Okay, so obviously Chael is just playing to his character here, but it is nice to have something lighthearted come from such a terrible story. We can always count on Chael to bring a smile to our faces when the times are tough.
Here is to wishing Christy Mack a successful and quick recovery.
