8 MMA Fighters Who Have Been Involved In The Adult Entertainment Industry

2. War Machine

Before legally changing his name in 2008, War Machine was previously known as Jon Koppenhaver. He first rose to prominence in 2007 as a cast member on The Ultimate Fighter reality series. The welterweight standout also fought for Bellator MMA in 2013.

Back in 2009, War Machine decided to diversify his professional portfolio and began working in pornographic films. He starred in a total of twelve adult movies and worked with well-known actresses like Riley Steele. The former UFC fighter also appeared in Hustler magazine with his then-girlfriend, Christy Mack, who is also an adult film star.

Of course, War Machine was later convicted on 29 felony counts for assaulting Mack in one of the most shocking MMA-related stories of 2014. He is currently serving a life sentence and could potentially be eligible for parole after 36 years served.
