Las Vegas cops are on the hunt for a hulking mixed martial arts fighter (and porn star) with a violent history who they say put his porn star girlfriend in the hospital in a brutal attack at her Las Vegas Nevada home...
Jon Koppenhaver...(who) brawls under the name War Machine... broke his silence about the alleged attack in a series of anguished tweets... "I love you and hope you're okay. I came him (sic) early to surprise you and help you set up for your convention. I can't believe what I found and can't believe what happened. All I wanted was to surprise you and help and do something nice...now this..."
"I'm not a bad guy, I went to surprise my gf, help her set up her show and to give her an engagement ring and ended up fighting for my life..."
"The cops will never give me fair play, never believe me. Still deciding what to do but at the end of the day it's all just heart breaking."
"I only wish that man hadn't been there and that Christy & I would be happily engaged.I don't know y I'm so cursed. One day truth will come out," his last tweet said.

Her side of the story:
Quote:
At around 2AM...Jon Koppenhaver arrived unannounced to my home in Las Vegas, NV after he broke up with me in May (and) moved out of my house back to San Diego.
...He found myself and one other fully clothed and unarmed in the house. Without a single word spoken, he began beating my friend; once he was finished he...turned his attention to me...
My injuries include 18 broken bones around my eyes, my nose is broken in 2 places, I am missing teeth and several more are broken...I have a fractured rib and severely ruptured liver from a kick to my side. My leg is so badly injured I have not been able to walk on my own...He...sawed much of my hair off with...(a) knife...
He took my phone and cancelled all of my plans for the following week...(When) he left me on the floor...I ran out my back door...I kept running through the neighborhood knocking on doors. Finally, one answered and I was brought to the hospital...
After many months of fear and pressure to keep this man happy...I feel that I can no longer put myself in this situation...

I guess he'll have to hock that engagement ring to hire a lawyer -- unless he has the one who handled his previous assault charges on retainer.
It's easy to say, "Why doesn't he or she just LEAVE a partner like that?" But it just doesn't appear to be that easy to DO.
