Look Out, Gary! ‘Teen Mom’ Amber Portwood Says She Wants to be an MMA Fighter

Domestic violence isn't funny...but this is kinda funny.

Since we first met the destructive duo that is Gary Shirley and Amber Portwood on 16 & Pregnant, they’ve done nothing but fight, break up, get engaged and yell at each other. Amber has also been physically aggressive toward Gary on-camera, as fans have seen on Teen Mom.

For whatever the reason, Amber feels that Gary deserves a beat-down via her orange-colored fist whenever he does something that she doesn’t like. Although she cried at the ‘Teen Mom’ Season 1 Reunion Show about how sorry she was that she attempted to beat up Gary, she recently revealed that she intends to do more fighting in her future.

Anyway, The Ashley was thrilled to see our favorite teenage trainwrecks on the cover of Us Weekly this week. Farrah and Maci were featured on the cover, but inside, there were interviews with all four girls. There were lots of fun tidbits in the article, but one quote from Amber stuck out.

Lineman camp never prepared Gary for this, sadly...

When she was asked what her career aspirations were, Amber said this:

“I always wanted to be a cosmetologist, but now I’m leaning toward being a mixed martial arts fighter. It keeps me in shape, keeps my head clear and I think I should wake up every day doing something I love.”

I’m sorry, what?!

A mixed martial arts fighter? Like a UFC fighter? Seriously? I know she clearly enjoys terrorizing people, but where the hell did this come from? 

If Amber’s going to become a trained fighter, Gary, buddy, you need to invest in body gear– and a giant can of mace…just sayin’….

  1. Holy crap, this had me laughing hysterically!!!! Wow, she is truly a train wreck and he’s a broken down, no confidence having, sloppy whipping post. I really do feel sorry for him-thinking that she’s the best he can do. I do believe the WalMart skank is a far sight better than that angry animal he thinks he loves.
