Report: War Machine Arrested in San Diego for Assault

LOS ANGELES—Adult performer and MMA fighter War Machine was arrested in San Diego on Tuesday night for assault with a deadly weapon, according to TMZ.com.

The story said Machine was arrested outside a bar called Thruster's Lounge around 11 p.m. after he and another male were fighting with bouncers.

According to the report, Machine ran from the cops before being apprehended. The 28-year-old Machine, which is his legal name, made a much-talked-about adult debut last fall, doing his first scene with Digital Playground. He gained national notoriety for his appearance on the UFC's "The Ultimate Fighter" reality show on Spike TV. He made his UFC debut in 2007.  

Farley Cahen, VP of new media for Digital Playground, said, "War Machine's performance in the movie Riley Steele Loves War Machine, to be released in the upcoming months, was incredibly hot. His aggressiveness definitely came across in the movie and his co-stars enjoyed working with him. As a performer, he acted professionally and we were looking forward to him having a successful career with Digital Playground. We are disappointed to hear of his recent actions and subsequent arrest. We wish him well and hope he is able to resolves his legal issues quickly."
