OH: Anthony Bourdain's Wife Threatens Divorce for Wrong UFC 132 Pick

There is a new favorite person in my life.  Her name is Ottavia Busia Bourdain, and she is the wife of Anthony Bourdain, star of TV show "No Reservations" and author of "Kitchen Confidential", the book that trudged through the darker side of the culinary world.

Ottavia Bourdain happens to be a big MMA fan (and a big Urijah Faber fan).  Her Twitter description is even "Bruised Fighter Girl". Ottavia and Anthony are in Las Vegas this weekend for UFC 132 and they've been tweeting about it.  They ran into Joe Rogan at dinner the other night and now Anthony and Joe are going to do a podcast together.  Anthony even tweeted as they were on their way to Vegas for the event:

@NoReservations: On way to Vegas for UFC 132. Should have brought darker jacket. @OttaviaBourdain insisted on seats close enough for blood spray.

When Ottavia woke up on Saturday morning, she shared her excitement for the night's activities via Twitter:

@OttaviaBourdain: Fight day! @UFC 132

Later on Saturday, before the event got under way and apparently before they got their bets down, Ottavia tweeted a message to her dear husband, instructing him on how things would be:

@OttaviaBourdain: Dear @NoReservations if you bet on Cruz I'm taking you to the divorce chapel tonight. @UrijahFaber @ufc

How very sweet and to the point.  I like it.  Ottavia and Anthony were definitely at the fights, too.  Cub Swanson confirmed it:

@CubSwanson: Dude I just saw Anthony Bourdain from the Travel channel. #ufc132

It turns out Ottavia may not have been giving Anthony the best betting advice.  But, while surely disappointed by the result of the Cruz vs. Faber bout, she was still hangin' in there:

@OttaviaBourdain: This fight nearly gave me a heart attack.

@OttaviaBourdain: Nothing better than a big hunk of meat to sooth my broken heart @UFC @urijahfaber

She is definitely my new favorite person.

If you haven't read Kitchen Confidential

It’s definitely worth a read! The restaurant business is seedy and dirty. I love you Anthony Bourdain.

And his wife rocks!

My Mom loves that show.

But she hates MMA
Maybe if I show her this….

Learn JiuJitsu.
