You may know Kate Upton best as a supermodel who has previously dated the likes of Kanye West. However, she recently earned her first stripe in BJJ. Humorously, in typical Kate Upton fashion, she added “I get a lot of belts for free but this one I earned!”.
Her coach also showered her with praise and mentioned “She is one of the hardest workers in the room, expects nothing but gives everything in every training session“. It seems that like her modelling career, Upton is as popular on the mats as she is in the fashion industry. It will be interesting to see if she follows the steps of other celebrities such as Demi Lovato who is also a blue belt. Back in 2019, Kate Upton turned heads by playfully performing a rear naked choke on chatshow host Jimmy Fallon.
