The UFC has hired Summer Tapasa as a security officer.

Do you remember Summer Tapasa, the Best Buy employee who was fired for thwarting an attempted robbery at a local store in Hawaii?

Well, the 24-year-old internet sensation has been hired by the UFC as a security officer, UFC president Dana White revealed on Wednesday.

Tapasa was initially offered the job in January and, after taking some to consider her options, the Hawaiian has decided to sign with the UFC as a corporate security officer.

“Do you remember the girl Summer that worked for Best Buy as security in Hawaii? Somebody was stealing a TV and she beat his ass and she stopped him from stealing the TV. She got fired by best Buy which I thought was horrible,” White said via Twitter.

“I brought her out to Vegas. I offered her a job here. She went back to Hawaii, she weighed all her options and she decided to work for UFC. She is now a UFC employee, so for all of you thinking about fucking around here at UFC you will get your ass whooped by Summer,” he added before shifting the camera to Summer.

“My name is Summer Tapasa and I am a UFC corporate security officer. I have been working with UFC for eight days and I am looking forward to expanding my career and hopefully moving on up.”
