How would GSP do if Laraque came up behind him in the lunch line and stabbed him in the neck with a sharpened toothbrush?

Here is Laraque vs. GSP in a takedown match. Guess who wins:
For sure War Machine is a good fighter but he's not gonna be the top dog in prison, not even close. Maybe if it was Brock Lesnar or something but even then he would just get jumped by multiple people.

And that video just shows GSP and Laraque just trying to wrestle each other down.

If they were legit street fighting I'm sure Laraque could land a few powerful punches, hes got the height and reach advantage.

War Machine is screwed once he's behind bars.

Ah Prison shivs, the ultimate equalizer.

Yeah technique >>>> size every day.

Obviously if he gets jumped from behind or whatever that’s completely different but a 120 lb guy can sucker punch anyone and knock them out if he lands a good shot.


I don't care how big you are though, you take a poorly timed swing or don't go back into a defensive position fast enough against a professionally trained fighter and you are toast. It's not even close. These guys are so good at what they do that complex grapples and take downs are instinct to them. You can be 220 and 6'4 all you want but if you give any pro MMA fighter an opening, you will be down and out in seconds.

Obviously in prison anything goes but I doubt people will be lining up to take on the guy like you suggest. Especially if he takes out someone who tries.

So this guy lost it on his girfriend, who is a porn star, becuse he saw her with another dude?

Isn't that kind of like beating up your chef wife, or making you an omelette?

No. Unless he barged in while a camera crew was there filming a scene.

I would doubt that it would be some kind of honorable 1 on 1 fight in prison, and I doubt this guy would have any friends in prison. In fact I would bet he would be the ultimate reputation enhancer in prison.

But I would think that he'd probably be fighting for his life against multiple people in a constrained space.

He might be tough in the cage, but in a swarm situation, he gets crushed.

And its tough to put on a triangle lock or a leg lock when your butt is sore.

If Prison was a perscription then the side effects would include terrible food, sore back, Vitamin D deficiencies and rectal tearing.

I'm pretty sure the Vitamin D and the rectal tearing go hand in hand when you're in prison...

Well, dissentowner was named "Department's least mature officer" three years running. He's the reigning champ.

Honestly, it's best for her if the dude does die or take his own life. He got MACK tattooed on his throat ... I don't think it's something he's going to let go.

The abusive psychopath has been apprehended.

A press release from the Simi Valley (Calif.) Police Department today announced the fighter’s arrest at an Extended Stay America hotel in Simi Valley, Calif.

Koppenhaver, 32, was taken into custody without incident by the Simi Valley police and the U.S. Marshal’s service, which pinpointed Koppenhaver’s location. He was found with “a small quantity of cash and some pizza.”

Where did I make a joke? You think police officers don't watch porn? She seems pretty hot to me and I was unfamiliar with her work. I never joked at all about what happened here, it is terrible and that pos hopefully goes away for awhile. You are reaching for something that isn't there. Actually if you heard what most police officers joke about you would probably be really offended but we won't get into that.
