Perhaps the most popular UFC ring girl, Arianny Celeste, has been arrested on the charge of domestic battery early this morning per TMZ who reported “She is still behind bars.” She has yet to post her $3000 bond, and if she doesn’t in 48 hours, she will have to appear before a judge. This is not a good look. […]

(Covering up that neck tattoo before going to court would have been a good idea.)
If you’ve been missing War Machine’s acclaimed Big House Blogs, you’re probably the only group that is going to be happy about this news.
According to the fighter formerly known as Jon Koppenhaver, he has been sentenced to another year in jail in Las Vegas for an old charge, forcing him to withdraw from Bellator’s season six welterweight tournament that gets underway in March. He indicated on Twitter that he will begin serving his sentence in two weeks and that, as per usual, he isn’t happy with the system.

“Seems my year in jail wasnt enough. Just got sentenced to another year in Vegas for some old bullshit. Nevermind Im rehabilitated. Nevermind Ive been out for over 6 months now and doing great and am finally back on my feet. Nevermind all my students that will miss me. Do another year and rot n waste time. Make no money, pay no taxes. Whatever, I just hope my boy @bensaundersMMA wins @BellatorMMA tournament. Fuck the motherfucking system! Fuck the bullshit! Vacation time, back to jail in 2 weeks! Cant stop me, all you can do is delay the inevitable. War Machine will always be back! Oh ya the judge looked and me and said she can tell Im on steroids and that thats prolly why I got in so many fights and am angry..lol Bitch”
I actually feel bad for the guy. He genuinely seemed to be focusing on getting his life together and he had an impressive showing against former UFC poster boy Roger Huerta. Maybe changing his name back to Jon would be a step in the right direction since most judges might look at the name “War Machine” as being a red flag.
I’m guessing this won’t help sway his belief that Obama has fucked up America beyond repair.
(Exhibit A for the defense: Whitehead can’t take a punch.)
In a surprising twist in the Mike Whitehead sexual assault case, the former The Ultimate Fighter 2 contestant was sentenced to between one and four years in Nevada State Prison today in Las Vegas. This according to the Associated Press.
Whitehead, who now lives in Tucson, Arizona and was scheduled to fight on Resurrection Fighting Alliance’sMarch 30 card in Nebraska, burst into tears after the sentence was read in Clark County court. He was immediately handcuffed and taken into custody. A report by the Associated Press states that “Iron” Mike (ironic, huh?) was charged with “attempted sexual assault,” which seems a bit off, considering he was full on having intercourse with a passed out chick while fondling her sleeping friend at his home when the victim woke up and told him to stop back in April 2010. In spite of her protest, Whitehead continued having sex with the 32-year-old acquaintance for several moments before climbing off of her and sitting naked on a chair in the corner while he stared at her and her 28-year-old girlfriend for a couple of hours.
It seemed like he would walk away with probation when it was announced late last year that he had struck a plea bargain with prosecutors to plead “no contest” to all charges against him to avoid the case going to trial, but it looks like the judge agreed with pretty much everyone that Whitehead should do the time for his vile crime.

Final sentencing is expected in the coming weeks, but a typical sentence for rape in Nevada where bodily harm doesn’t occur is life in prison with the possibility of parole after ten years. Four years is 40% of the normal penalty, so Whitehead should count himself lucky.
In addition to his stay in the big house, Whitehead will be added to the National Sex Offender Registry and was ordered to pay the victim $2,400 in restitution.
No word on whether or not an appeal will be launched, but it’s likely, considering that’s what pretty much every guilty person does.
