The Minowaman seems to have a habit of exposing tomato cans. Bob Sapp and Butterbean obviously have zero MMA talent. They are just two overgrown slobs that would be better off pursuing careers with Major League Eating (MLE), but the Minowaman also exposed Spencer Pratt's girlfriend Kevin Casey not too long ago.
This led to Kevin eventually getting booted by Rickson after Kevin tried promoting himself to black belt, but the dirt a long the way is always the best part. TMZ is gonna love this ever-growing soap opera that Spencer has decided to dump on the world of MMA. I'm glad that Kron kicked these two turd-burglars to the curb!
Rock n Roll Suicide - LMFAO - just watched the vid...now it makes sense why my teacher was pissed I shook his hand after our match.
LOL
Interesting...
I had a match with that Kevin Casey once. He was pretty buff and trying to be intimidating.
The whole match his friends were yelling stuff like: "Whoop that white boys ass".
I had him in a pretty decent Triangle, but he got out. I still beat him on points. He kinda stormed off the mats, IIRC. When I walked off the mat I looked to see where his idiot friends were. They had left the building already.

I too was also told a few weeks back he promoted himself to BB and was kicked out of Rickson's.
The idea of faking rank of any kind is ridiculous to me. Black belt, purple shirt, brown eye... at some point you have to roll. You can't fake skill on the mat.
What on earth possesses people to try to get away with this stuff? Why would you ever want to tell someone you were a purple belt if you weren't at that level. I just do NOT get that.
Imagine you spend so many years coming up under Rickson and then fuck it up because you cant wait the few remaining months or years to get the ultimate honor from the greatest BJJer ever. Sad.
Holy cow isn't being a brown under Rickson an honor in itself? When you are at Brown isn't Black only a little ways away?
It took me 5 years to get my purple and I never thought it was coming. I would never had dreamed of getting it earlier from someone who wasn't my instructor.
Ridgeback - He had to be an anus long before this incident. You have to wonder why Rickson kept him around so long in the first place.
hasnt rickson had shady cats under him from way back??
i remember stories about his students jacking up people for no reason years ago. i could be remembering wrong though.
Sadly, that's true. That was definately going on a few years back whether people know about it or want to admit it.
But it was the so called "Jits Mob" of upper-middle class high school kids, mostly from Pacific Palisades, not the normal adult students.
I lived right by Rickson's school for many years and grew up in the N. Santa Monica/ Palisades area. That is one of the reasons I didn't train at that school.
he went dn to brazil to train with rickson,for some reason rickson didnt offer him anything.kinda like what are you doing here.at that point, kevin knew he wasnt going to get a bb from rickson.
i was told by another bjj dad yrs ago rickson told him he would never teach someone to beat his kids.i found that strange.
told yesterday no rickson seminar in la .maybe that will change
