MMA fighter War Machine, who’s currently in a Las Vegas jail for attempting to kill his ex-girlfriend, has attempted to take his own life. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that he attempted to hang himself but correctional officers intervened.

Tuesday night around 9:30 an officer was walking by War Machine’s cell in Clark County Jail. The officer saw him sitting on the ground with his feet up on the bunk bed. When the officer called to him he was unresponsive.
The officer went into the cell and found the ex-MMA fighter had a piece of linen around his neck which was tied to the leg of the bed — and his face was purple. The officer cut the linen, removed it … and we’re told War Machine’s breathing became less strained and he attempted to speak.
He’s currently in a medical isolation cell on suicide watch. We’re told officers found what appeared to be a suicide note in the cell.
I’m actually glad the officer intervened. Suicide is the easy way out for him. Let him suffer in prison as long as possible. Ironic how he could beat Christy Mack to a bloody pulp but a couple of months behind bars has him frightened.
