When Mixed Martial Arts Officially Jumped the Shark

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt get some mixed martial arts (MMA) training in Los Angeles on January 8 (Thursday).

The Hills villian couple learned all the right moves from Kevin Rickson of Rickson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu International fighting school. (Spencer has been filming his new reality show based on MMA fighter Kevin Casey.)

Looks like Heidi kicked some major Spencer butt! Hope she didn’t break any of her Chanel fingernails.

If upon reading this you haven't toyed with the idea of jumping out of a 40-story building, something is desperately wrong with you. And apparently Casey has time for more than spitting on Marc Laimon and threatening his life with a gun a la Marcus Vick. Who knew?

It’s a popular show, and if it brings more positive attention to MMA, then I’m all…

okok, I can’t even finish the sentence.

Is it wrong to think the dude is not a legit purple belt? I mean, would I be wrong to think that?

There is no way he’s a purple belt. I bet my life on it.

Maybe he did Tae Kwon Do or something. Hell, I had a red belt in that when I was 12 or something and I was just ok.

Did you wear your Tae Kwon Do belt to BJJ class? no. I would have given you a world of shit.

I have no idea where that stuff even is. Somewhere at my parents house, I’d imagine.

A really out of shape guy wore his karate gi and black belt to one of our BJJ classes recently – not someone anyone has seen around or anything, just a guy off the street. He insisted on bowing four times before he came onto the mat, bowing four times before he rolled with anyone, and performing katas to warm up (while the rest of us were running and doing pushups). He got badly owned, and never returned.

And most of the guys thought that we had all been too nice to him…

I never experienced anything like that, but the closest thing I did experience was this one guy who would yell whenever he tried any manuever that exerted energy.

And when I say yell, I mean a low, loud, guttural yell that made everyone stop and stare.

I only saw him a few times, though. Just showed up one day, stuck around for a week or two and left as far as I know.

Pretty sure its a lavender belt. Very prestigious.

Rickson’s LA gym has seemed pretty shady in the past. They’re also the guys who allegedly gave Antoni Hardonk a purple belt before his UFC debut solely to promote their gym.

I still have faith in the honor of the Gracie family

<I agree with Brett. I’m clinging to the notion that he’s really a guy who has been hated his whole life. Gracie Jujitsu is well known in L.A and I could see him shelling out big bucks on private lessons. also I would hope that anyone associated with Rorion,Rickson,and Royler wouldn’t tarnish someones effort and commitment to be a purple belt in Gracie Jujitsu. Ed O’neill(Al Bundy) is a legit black belt. who would have thought hat?

I’m not a violent guy, and I usually don’t have bad things to say about anyone; that being said, from what i’ve seen of that Spencer guy on t.v. he’s a real jerk. I don’t know what he does for a living, (actually it doesnt seem like he works at all) but I bet the only reason that sexy blonde chick is with him is the money.

I like your style. I like to try and live and let live. But that Spencer guy sucks. I tell my 16 year old brother not to watch MTV because it will make him retarded. I truly believe that. We can’t have young people watch his show and think he’s anything more than a mega douche.

All I know about those two I learned from

The Soup.

Spencer’s a douche bag and Heidi…well, lets just say she looks good.

Seems a lot of guys here find Heidi attractive

I think she’s ordinary looking and behaves neurotically, from what I’ve seen of her.

Actually, I’d like to hit her in the face with a large blunt object.

i also would hit her in the face with a large blunt object. yeah, my penis!

ordinary face. extraordinary body.

You’re right though — she is completely neurotic.

How are the whores?

Do you know any of them? What movies have they been in? What cameos have they done? How have they become famous for anything other that BJJ? That’s not really a fair comment. The instructor isn’t even a Gracie. Yes, Ed O’neill is legit look it up on Google.

Oh, fuck me running. The only possible good that can come of this is for a bunch of actual fighters to roll up on Spencer and say ‘you train? Let’s roll’ and then proceed to tap him over and over and over again.

That girl is in more desperate need of a good lay than any white woman in history (apologies to Good Morning, Vietnam).

wat?

by smoogy on Jan 13, 2009 3:44 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

You never heard about that incident where Casey spat on Laimon and threatened to kill him? Casey was mad at Laimon for Laimon’s alleged insistence that Royce was truly overrated and Rickson is more legend than anything else.

by Luke Thomas on Jan 13, 2009 3:51 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Yeesh. Rickson and Royce were less than demigods? Might as well walk up to him at the urinal and said ‘nice dick ya got there.’ These are things you only say if you want to start a fight.
