Tuesday night’s “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel" segment unearthed the excessive domestic violence present in the sport of MMA.
"I couldn't catch my breath. I started convulsing. At that point, it felt like I was going to die."
Christy Mack held back tears as she voiced those harrowing words on HBO's critically acclaimed ‘Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.' She recounted the disturbing tale of her ex-boyfriend, former UFC and Bellator fighter Jon Koppenhaver, as he allegedly brutally beat her to the point of convulsions.
As she lay cowering in the corner, Mack inched closer to death.
