Fans at Sao Paulo’s Ibirapuera Arena on Friday January 18 for the UFC on FX 7 weigh-in will get the world’s first look at the promotion’s first-ever Brazilian Octagon Girl. The new muse of the biggest MMA organization will make her debut on Saturday, November 19 at the event itself.
update: The weigh-in marked the debut of not just one but two Brazilian Octagon girls, Camila Oliveira (yellow top) and Aline Franzoi (blue top).
