War Machine was released from his Bellator contract on Friday following a report that the former UFC welterweight is wanted by Las Vegas police as a suspect in a domestic violence incident. As of the time of this writing, is still in hiding.
The former The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) contestant is still on the run, but took to Twitter to both proclaim his innocence and send a parting message to long-time girlfriend, Christy Mack:

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’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.
