Back in 2008, years before she bared all for us on the pages of Playboy magazine, UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste was a finalist in Maxim’s 2008 Hometown Hotties contest.

In the video, Arianny tells everyone about how she was a gymnast for 10 years and a competitive cheerleader for seven years. She then went on to be a cheerleader in college before landing her current gig as a UFC ring girl in 2006.

When she first started working for the UFC, she thought MMA was brutal, mainly due to the fact that she didn’t understand the sport. But after working for the UFC for two years, she started to appreciate the actual art behind the sport.

Arianny also explained that being involved in the UFC inspired her to train, and eventually compete, in muay thai kick boxing. She stated that by training in muay thai, she has become more self confident knowing she can “kick some ass.”

Let’s all be thankful that none of the fights she has been involved in have damaged her lovely face.

Believe it or not, Arianny also confessed to being in a street fight. She said that someone called her “the b-word,” so she punched her in the face a few times before the scuffle got broken up.

Ms. Celeste is officially 1-0 in bare-knuckle contests.

For more background information on the beautiful Arianny, check out the video. You can thank me later.

For more than half a century, Playboy has been the cornerstone of gentlemen magazines. Over the years, many celebrates and prominent figures in the sports world have graced the cover and center of the publication.

In 2008, MMA fans around the world rejoiced as the UFC’s very own Rachelle Leah graced Playboy’s the cover. She was the first woman from the sport to be given that honor.

Canadian toy company Round 5 is at it again and has really outdone themselves this time.

The release of the Bruce Lee Limited Edition line of figures has been confirmed by Round 5 and Bleacher Report has the privilege of showing an exclusive preview to all of you Bruce Lee fans out there!

To commemorate the release of this awesome new figure line, Damon Lau and the good people at Round 5 have filmed a 14 part mini-series titled, The Bruce Lees Story: As Told by You in which several people from the Mixed Martial Arts community, as well as actors and other known celebrities tell us how Lee has affected each of their lives in various ways.

Known as a martial artist first and foremost and creator of the martial art known as Jeet Kune Do or “Way of the intercepting Fist,” Lee has most certainly inspired everyone from Chuck Norris to Miguel Torres—and changed the landscape of martial arts forever.

Many people may not know that, besides being a martial artist and actor, Lee was writer, fight choreographer, loving husband and father, too.

Take a look at the mini-slide show and check out these incredible figures from Round 5 that are scheduled for release sometime in the fall of 2011.

If they aren’t enough to get you salivating, I don’t know what will!

With UFC 130 on the line, Rampage vs Hamill is sure to be a spectacle Saturday night. But no great competition has ever been fought without the watchful eyes of a beautiful woman.

Strikeforce and Rockstar Ring Girl Kelli Hutcherson’s Rise to the Top

Zuffa LLC and the Ultimate Fighting Championship have been on a warpath lately, devouring their competition with the acquisition of Strikeforce and merger of the WEC. Now the UFC is officially the world’s largest  MMA promotion as well. Dominant Strikeforce fighters are signing with UFC, leaving behind fighters who just can’t hang with the big boys.

There is however, one major advantage that Strikeforce has over the UFC.

Her name is Kelli Hutcherson.

The exquisitely beautiful, extremely down to earth, newly crowned Miss Strikeforce 2011, and Maxim 2011 Hot 100 Lister has only been modeling for about a year and has already taken the world by storm.

Kelli got her start as a Rockstar Energy Drink model and has since worked for Metal Mulisha, Muscle Milk, Spike TV, Strikeforce and, most recently, Maxim Magazine.

Born and raised in Southern California, Kelli perfectly defines the ideal West Coast woman.

Just as Rachelle Leah, arguably the most famous ring girl in MMA history, moved on to bigger and better things—like posing for Playboy—Kelli Hutcherson is sure to follow suit.

Recently, the main focus has been on UFC starlets and ring girls, Arianny Celeste with her recent Playboy photo shoot and recent newcomer, Brittney Palmer.

Both Arianny and Brittney were ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in my book of the hottest ring girls, until now.

The 22-year-old Hutcherson has without a doubt, become my No. 1 favorite ring girl in all of MMA.

That’s not to say that the other girls aren’t amazing; quite the contrary.

They also both have posed for Maxim, but Kelli’s shoot definitely takes the cake.

Kelli is a natural beauty who looks her best with little make-up. She has a body that Michael Angelo would be jealous of; even though she admits that she doesn’t work out, claiming her perfect figure is purely a result of good genetics.

Her invitingly warm smile and dazzling charm are enough to make fans feel all warm and fuzzy from only a glance at the TV screen.

Sorry guys, she is taken. Her boyfriend is pro surfer, Ricky Whitlock.

With the best Strikeforce fighters moving to the big stage in the UFC, will we see the best ring girls following suit?

Of course, I would love to see Kelli blowing me kisses from ringside at a UFC event. Who wouldn’t?

Kelli is already a fan favorite and is gaining more and more notoriety. She is quickly becoming known by many people, both inside and outside the octagon.

With her classy style, perfectly toned body and her “go with the flow” attitude, the sky is the limit for Kelli.
