Johnathan Koppenhaver, known as War Machine is once again causing some disruption and making headlines in the media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The former UFC and Bellator fighter who was in court on Monday for a preliminary hearing on 34 charges from ex-girlfriend and adult film star Christy Mackinday<\/a> that include sexual assault and two accounts of attempted murder.<\/p>\n

Koppenhaver who could potentially face a long prison sentence if found guilty allegedly blew a kiss at the prosecutor in the case, Chief Deputy District Attorney Jacqueline Bluth.<\/p>\n

From the Las Vegas Review Journal<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Judge, for the record, Mr. Koppenhaver just blew a kiss at me,” she said.<\/p>\n

Defense attorney Brandon Sua said he didn’t see it.<\/p>\n

“I’m not going to make up that he blew a kiss at me, which I find offensive,” Bluth said.<\/p>\n

District Judge Elissa Cadish turned to the defendant, who was seated in the jury box, while shackled and wearing an orange prison jumpsuit: “Mr. Koppenhaver, stop. You are not to make any gestures of any kind toward counsel. Don’t go there.”<\/p>\n

Koppenhaver smiled. “Yes, ma’am.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Koppenhaver has been in police custody since he was arrested a week after the August 8, 2014, assault<\/a> on Mackinday and her friend Corey Thomas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
