The horrifying account of MMA fighter War Machine's alleged assault adult film actress Christy Mack has sparked Dog the Bounty Hunter into action.

War Machine, also known as Jon Koppenhaver, allegedly assaulted Mack, his ex-girlfriend, when he showed up to her home at 2 a.m. on August 8. War Machine also allegedly assaulted a male victim who was with Mack in the house in the minutes before turning his rage against the adult film actress.

"He made me undress and shower in front of him, then dragged me out and beat my face," Mack said in a statement. "He pushed the knife into me in some areas such as my hand, ear and head. After another hit or two, he left me on the floor bleeding and shaking, holding my side from the pain of my rib."

While War Machine was rummaging through a different room in the home, allegedly looking for a knife to replace the one that broke while being used on Mack, the victim was able to escape through the back door, where a neighbor helped get her to the hospital.

Authorities have issued 7 warrants for War Machine, and there is a $10,000 reward for his capture.

Dog the Bounty Hunter took to Twitter to voice his warning to War Machine, saying that he would "see him soon."

"Some of the stuff he did to her was like unbelievable," Dog told reporters. "This guy is a predator and what's he going to do to the next girl?"

Dog is confident that he will be able to apprehend the suspect at all costs. Other than the proper authorities, Dog may be the next best thing when it comes to hunting down those who have chosen to evade the law.

"They know Dog Chapman is lurking in the midst, they know I'm coming after them if they issue a reward," Chapman said.

War Machine proclaimed his innocence over Twitter, saying that the incident was a misunderstanding and he was merely trying to propose to Mack.

It is unclear what kind of "misunderstanding" leads to a woman's face and body being brutally battered, but War Machine maintains his innocence while on the run.

Joel Rocco, owner of the gym that War Machine used to train at, paints the suspect in a different light than most.

"Kids loved him, parents loved him, I saw a whole other side of the guy," Rocco said.

Needless to say, Rocco made it clear that War Machine is not welcome back at his gym.

"There's nothing that we can do to control anything that happens outside of the confines of this cage or outside of my gym," Rocco said.
