'Ultimate Fighter' star pleads guilty to assault
SAN DIEGO COURTS: Jon Koppenhaver, known as “War Machine” from Spike TV's reality series “The Ultimate Fighter,” pleaded guilty yesterday to felony assault in the choking of a man outside a San Diego fitness center.
The professional cage-fighter choked a Las Vegas man unconscious and hit him in the face outside San Diego's Undisputed Fitness and Training Center on Sept. 2. Koppenhaver, 26, a trainer at the center, is scheduled to be sentenced in February.
The victim, Darren Zatkow, testified in San Diego Superior Court yesterday that he was visiting San Diego when he was assaulted outside the fitness club after calling a group of shirtless men “tough guys.”
Zatkow said he was grabbed from behind in a chokehold and lost consciousness. He was punched in the face while he was on the ground and suffered facial fractures and nerve damage.
Judge Frank Brown said Koppenhaver's plea agreement could result in misdemeanor punishment. Zatkow said that was acceptable.
“I'm not interested in destroying somebody's life,” Zatkow said. –A.M.
