War Machine Tells His Side of the Story

War Machine was involved in a brawl at a porn industry party a few days ago. According to rumors and reports, War Machine allegedly hit his girlfriend Alanah Rae and his manager Derek, along with several other guys confronted him, leading to several bodies laid out on the floor, and War Machine becoming a wanted man. War Machine finally speaks out on the entire incident and he tells his side of the story:
No I did not hit Alanah. We were not fighting. We are not bf/gf, we are friends and hang out often and are BOTH very confused as to how this accusation came about… I was outside talking to a guy I met a week ago named Daniel and was suddenly swarmed by Derek and 6–10 other guys. They were telling me that I hit Alanah and they were cursing at me saying that if that is true I’m gonna get fucked up. I told them I had no idea what they were talking about and told them to even ask Alanah. They persisted and grew more and more angry the more I denied it. They began to circle around me and I was sure I was gonna get fucked up because I was so heavily out numbered and that’s when we started fighting.
Someone lunged forward at me in my peripheral vision and I turned and hit him as he did… Once the initial blows were thrown I continued to punch anyone that came towards me that I thought was a threat. I was working my way toward my car and everywhere I looked there were angry people trying to block me off. At one point even a girl, I think Brooke Haven, was punching me in the head…lol. I got hit a couple of times from the back and side but Brooke is the one who got the most punches in on me…haha…but that’s only because I didn’t hit her back. I actually really liked Brooke and was sad that I was involved in a fight that ended up ruining her party.
I think if everyone was sober they would have not rushed to me and surrounded me so aggressively. I think they would have slowed things down and would have done the smart thing first which would be to ask Alanah if anything had happened. Then if Derek (my agent) was sober and rational he could have simply pulled me aside and asked me what, if anything, had happened. This situation was a huge misunderstanding that could have been easily resolved. I can’t say that I blame them tho. If I had been in the party and heard that someone hit Alanah I too would have probably done the irrational thing and went to attack the person accused. BUT after later learning that it was untrue I would have felt very stupid and would have tried my best to apologize to that person. Either way this is why I am not angry with any of the guys that rushed me. They THOUGHT they were protecting Alanah and she is my friend so I can appreciate that. The only person I am upset with is Derek. He was my agent as well as hers and I think he handled the entire situation very innapropriately.
While he blames it on the guy who spread the rumor, War Machine has zero regrets on what he did:
I think that every person that I hit was a threat to me and my safety so in that regard they deserved to be hit. On the other end I think the real problem here is the a**hole that spread the rumor that Alanah was hit. He is the one truly responsible for everyone’s injuries and the entire misunderstanding. The people rushing me were only looking out for her…they believed that I hit her and if that was in fact true then I believe they would have been right to attack me. BUT seeing as it wasn’t true they were wrong… I am sorry for the misunderstanding that led to their injuries but I will never apolgize for protecting myself when I thought I was in danger. I have zero regrets. Had I not been able to fight them off and would have been beaten severely is a lot worse to me than proving my innocence. I have apologized to Brooke via text message several times. NOT because I did anything wrong but because I was part of something that ruined her party. I liked her and thought she was a very sweet girl. I even came to the party early to help blow up balloons and set things up. I’m a nice guy and everyone would still think so if not for the bulshit misunderstanding and the asshole that started the lie about Alanah.
The only thing I need to do differently is not put myself in environments where trouble can happen. I thought I was safe at the party. I thought Brooke was my friend and I thought Derek was too. I felt safe going there. I never thought that Derek would have chosen to handle things this way.
On what happened after the incident:
I left the party because I had people coming at me from every angle and I didn’t wanna run out of luck and end up finally being toppled… After the party I went to my friends house to have a beer and relax. No “injuries”, my right elbow hurts and I had a few bumps on my head but that’s it. My lawyer says not to worry. That it will be very easy to show that this was self defense.
As reports said, it really seems like everything really started from a rumor that War Machine hit his “girlfriend”, which both he and Alanah herself denies. He also mentioned that while the people involved have been saying online that War hit her, the official statements from all the parties involved didn’t have any mention of it at all.
War Machine also talked about the situation in his twitter account and gave a few updates on what has happened after. He seems to have talked to the police, spent thousands in bail and lawyer fees, and has already continued his porn career. He’s looking for a new manager of course, hopefully the next one doesn’t get clocked in the head this time around.

In the women’s event, Maria Dunn earned her team’s second gold medal in her weight division, pinning Chuuk’s representative early in the first round.
With the win firmly in hand, Dunn gave credit to her opponent for stepping up a division and competing in a male-dominated sport.”When I first started competing, I was all about winning and beating everybody,” said the 24-year-old, who, despite her age, has competed at the international level several times over. “I’ve toned down a lot, and I’m more about the progression of women in competition.” “Some of these women are from the outer islands,” she said. “It takes a lot for them to break those barriers … to come out and compete.”

Guilherme Mendes and the lesson of a Worlds lost
by Carlos Eduardo Ozório — August 4, 2010.
Gui on Gabriel Moraes’s back in the final of the 2010 Brazilian Nationals. Photo: Carlos OzórioSeen as a shoo in for the world title, 2009’s champion Guilherme Mendes ended up dropping out of this year’s world championship earlier than expected, after his very first match. Looking ahead, Guilherme forges ahead training for his upcoming challenges and considers competing in the featherweight division alongside his brother Rafael, the current world champion. Check out what he had to say in this interview with GRACIEMAG.com.
You lost prematurely at this year’s World Championship. Did you learn some lesson or come up with anything positive from this not-too-pleasant experience?
I believe that everything we go through, regardless of if it is good or bad, provides us experience. It certainly was a great experience. At the time I was really sad because I train a lot for that to not happen, and, unfortunately, this time it happened. As much as we don’t like it, losing is a part of the sport, we’re all subject to it; it happens. But that doesn’t make me a worse athlete or undermine my confidence. I won the Worlds five years in a row, and this time this is what happened. I won all the other events and ended up making a mistake that cost me at the Worlds. But it certainly gives me strength to carry on pursuing my objectives. Next year I’ll go after my sixth world title, my second as a black belt, God willing! I’ll be more experienced and more mature.
You had trouble making weight in the light featherweight division. Are you thinking of moving up?
I weigh 68 kg and cut weight to make light featherweight. I fought in this division for a year and it was great for me, I beat great athletes, was champion of Europe, Brazil and the World as a black belt. If it were up to me, I’d be in the featherweight division for the challenges there. We’ll decide that soon, as soon as the whole Atos competition team is together for training. The thing that made cutting weight for the Worlds hard was that I injured my knee in the final at the Brazilian Nationals, which took place two weeks earlier, where I won but left in a lot of pain. I had spend two weeks training suffering the effects of medicine because my knee hurt so much, and that ended up getting in the way when cutting weight.
But I’m not one to make excuses. If I lost it was because I made a mistake, and if I went in to fight it was because I knew I could win it. So there’s no excuse, now it’s all about forging ahead and carrying on in training like I’ve been doing to win, God willing.
Guilherme conducting a seminar. Photo: personal archivesWhat have you and your brother (Rafael) been up to?
We’re really happy. Right after the Worlds we did a series of seminars in the USA and Canada. Next month Rafael and I will head to Europe. We’ll stay there two weeks and do some seminars in Switzerland, Italy and Turkey. Then we’ll return home to train because we’ll already be starting into our schedule for 2011. In October we have a seminar in Panama, in November we’re going to Asia (probably Japan, Korea and Guam) and Canada. We’re getting recognition for the work we do, and all we can do is be thankful for it. We’re getting a lot of praise on our Facebook page (see here) and that just makes us happier and more determined. We really like teaching and showing people our style and our ways of training. Folks are getting more interested in learning Jiu-Jitsu every day and we’re seeing great academies and promising athletes outside the country. All that is the fruits of the demand for the knowledge they have.
Any competition coming up?
I’m training a lot with my brother and the gang here in Rio Claro. We’ve already started our physical conditioning work with our trainer Thiago Mendes at Octane, but I don’t know when we’ll compete next. For sure we’ll be in some event at the end of the year, we just haven’t decided which yet.

From August 25-Sept 13th Mike and JT will be in Guam and Japan doing training seminars and competing in the Asian open, but we will be scheduling seminars before and after those dates.
