War Machine’s brother Michael has been speaking out in defense of his troubled bro since the allegations of the severe beating came out, and he hopes his brother will receive maximum psychiatric help.
Michael Eugene Koppenhaver says he has not seen his brother in a year due to War Machine’s insanity, but that has not stopped him from standing by Jon. He says the two are extremely different and that he does not agree with many of his brother’s life choices.
If anyone knows me. They know me and my brother are almost exact opposites. Hence why I have no tattoos, he does, his girl is a whore mine

“mine not so much” was the rest of the thought.
Michael, who says the two used to be really close until he called out Jon for his negative and erratic behavior, is also being realistic about punishments for his brother. He said he wants maximum psychiatric help and little jail time for War Machine:
I am not hoping that my brother gets off Scott free! Why? Because that's not a reality. As little as time possible and maximum psyc help!

He also called his brother “insane.”
@UnitedGreys temporary? He is permanently. Any person who self destructs in the manner which my brother did, is absolutely insane. #duh

Let's get this straight. I do not like my brothers decisions in life ever. I am not a fan. I was a fight fan more than a life choices fan

Let's also get this straight, I'm on here for damage control to my Koppenhaver name. Not only to get the lies away, but to show you people

@MrPerspicacity I am on his side. But I have to be a realist. My brother is an idiot. She's a whore. They are both crazy. #nowearehere

I'm so sick of the damn blame game. There is nobody to blame except my brothers dumb ass and @ChristyMack for being together at all! #idiots

@jawshhua_ she's a victim. But she's trying to make a lifetime movie of all this. And that's just as evil as my brother is. #icanthaveit

@Harpers_Bombs that's all I'm saying. Is that my bro is dumb and at fault. And she is even more idiotic for choosing him if he was so bad
— MICHAEL KOPPENHAVER (@mkope) August 13, 2014
@Harpers_Bombs lmao who said he wasn't a idiot? He is. And she's a psychotic whore. And he is insane too. Hence why we are here now.

Michael Koppenhaver is emphasizing that there are many holes to Christy Mack’s story, though as you have seen, he is not leaving his brother blameless.
Recognizing how crazy his brother is, Michael says he would not date him if he were a woman. Says he was on lexapro and it made him worse.
Though he says Mack is lying — and we did see the holes in her story — that does not justify War Machine’s actions. The guy snapped and pretty obviously took things way too far. Whether it’s jail or a psychiatric institute, the guy should not be free.
