UFC Octagon girl Brittney Palmer is set to grace this coming March’s issue of Playboy magazine, which goes on sale this Friday.
Images of the photos have already made their way onto the internet and ESPN tracked down the 24-year-old Palmer to talk about her upcoming pictorial.
Were you nervous during the photo shoot and how much exercising did you do beforehand?
“I’m constantly exercising to stay in fighting shape for all of the UFC events, so that really didn’t change. I’ve never posed nude before, so I was a little apprehensive at first. But the Playboy crew on the shoot was so great and supportive, and they made me feel very comfortable on set.”
What’s next for you?
“I’ll be staying in art school for the foreseeable future, and hopefully people will continue to show interest in my artwork. I’m heading to Brazil twice in the next month to film The Ultimate Fighter Brazil, and then I’m looking forward to doing more of the same: working in my art studio painting, continuing to design and be creative, and continuing to make these fun workout videos for Gamma Labs PTF. UFC has opened up many doors for me, and I’m sure gracing the cover of Playboy will do the same. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s around the next corner!”
