LAS VEGAS — Prosecutors began casting a former mixed martial arts fighter named War Machine on Monday as violent in his relationship with his porn star girlfriend and murderous when he found her asleep one morning with another man in her bedroom. “It was a co-dependency that was bound to erupt at some time,” Leiderman told the state court jury during opening statements in a trial expected to last a couple of weeks. Koppenhaver legally changed his name to War Machine during his 19-fight MMA career, and he started a clothing line he called Alpha Male. She had “Property of War Machine” inked in red on the back of her right shoulder. Thomas testified that he ended up with a broken nose, dislocated shoulder, scrapes and bruises, and bite marks on his face and arm.
