Upton revealed that she’s obsessed with Jiu-Jitsu and while training for her white belt in martial arts, she routinely flipped over her husband, who’s the pitcher for the Houston Astros. “I am obsessed with Jiu-Jitsu. I was practicing on Justin, on his whole family, my mother-in-law.” Later, Fallon and Upton got into banter and when Fallon asked her why she wanted to take up Jiu-Jitsu, Kate laughed and replied: “You know, because I want to beat someone up.” Upton also shared the incident where she accidentally flipped Verlander. “I was actually showing Justin and accidentally flipped him in our kitchen. And, his foot hit like the corner of our island and he really just hammed that up,” Upton said. Upton later got into a hilarious moment with Fallon and also demonstrated a chokehold she learned on him.
