MMA’s favorite charity, It Ain’t Chemo is holding their Annual Celebrity and Silent Auction right after UFC 143 weigh-ins on February 3rd at the House of Blues inside Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Several items will be up for auction, including the Main Event Interim-Welterweight contender, Carlos Condit‘s very own fight shorts, which is a great gift for a woman or even a man, which is not a reflection of any possible homosexuality but is rather, simply an honor to own a badass fighter’s shorts.
Also up for sale are a roster of the MMA elite. Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, Forrest Griffin, Greg Jackson and Clay Guida are among the men you could score for a hot date or ask what’s wrong with your choking technique. Chandella Powell, Natasha Wicks, Stephanie Ann Cook, that busty Tracy Lee, and even XXX film star, Dylan Ryder (is this your kind of charity or what?) are among the ladies you could try to lure home and ask to practice that choking technique. Just tell them, “It’s called foreplay, honey. Don’t you women want that?!?!? Damn, Cosmo.”
The IAC Celebrity and Silent Auction will be hosted by Dave Farra and Karyn Bryant. So get your pocket books ready to support an amazing organization that helps people with cancer. Now that’s a Valentine’s gift.

Tuff-N-Uff Ring, Stephanie Ann Cook is the spokesmodel for the non-profit organization, It Ain’t Chemo which personalizes its approach, helping people with cancer. Strikeforce fighter, Ryan Couture is also a board member of IAC, as it was founded by Couture family friend, Kevin Hoyt. Part of the appeal of It Ain’t Chemo is that their volunteers (which include several MMA industry personalities) practice a hands-on approach to helping people who are battling cancer. Stephanie Ann Cook is often by the side of one of their “Cancer Warriors” offering a hug, a hand to hold, or an ear to listen. The organization is quickly becoming a favorite charity to support amongst the MMA community.
But other sexy MMA girls are also joining the fight against cancer through other organizations. Arianny Celeste often shows her support toward the fight against cancer by retweeting for @Abolishcancer and @Core_Synergy who created bands for cancer awareness.
And since we’ve done our good deed by making you aware that hot chicks dig charity and you should maybe get involved if you want to score one of these chicks one day, we will now proceed with showing you more pictures of these hot chicks including former UFC Octagon Girl, Natasha Wicks and MMA Ring Girl and host for The Fight Network’s new weekly MMA news program, Stephanie Lee.

Last year former UFC Octagon Girl, Natasha Wicks joined RawVegas.tv in Mesquite, NV for a Paintball War to benefit Randy Couture’s GI Foundation. Amidst all the fun, Wicks learned a very important lesson about shooting at people who are not wearing protective head gear. Wicks shot and split open the head of host, Dave Farra. It literally was all fun and games ’till someone got hurt. In this case, blood poured down Farra’s head. Watch video below:
But not one to be afraid of a little blood, Wicks will be back in Mesquite this weekend to benefit It Aint Chemo, a non-profit organization which primarily helps children with cancer and is supported by many in the MMA community. The event will be held this Saturday, November 6th from 9:00am to 5:30pm PST. For full event details click: here.

Dylan Woods at Tuff-N-Uff in March 2010
A great leader, named Malcolm X said, “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.”
There are many battles MMA fighters face going into the cage, like that of a standup war or ground and pound, but every battle for these self-made warriors is by choice. There are others of us in the world who are faced with fights that are unwanted and unasked for and it is the truest test of our character when we meet those challenges with will and defiance. For most of us in our lifetime, we will know someone or be someone inflicted with cancer. In my life, I have been blessed to know very few people who have fought and lost to this disease. Last night, the most influential person I have ever met, a young 13 year-old warrior named Dylan Woods who had brain cancer passed away.
I met Dylan through a non-profit organization called It Aint Chemo run by a cancer survivor, Kevin Hoyt. Hoyt, who is a friend of Randy Couture and helped Couture set up a paintball charity event for his GI Foundation, decided to open his organization to help and support MMA fighters, with the request that the fighters give their time to train young warriors who battle cancer daily. Hoyt thought that by kids like Dylan meeting MMA fighters, it would influence them to keep fighting their disease. The surprise ended up being that these kids like Dylan were the ones who inspired the MMA fighters. Dylan Woods went on to support fighters like Ryan Couture, Jimmy Jones, and Gil Guardado. He went to their Tuff-N-Uff amateur fights, cheering in the crowd, and when he could no longer travel, he watched Ryan Couture make his pro-debut in Strikeforce: Challengers on Showtime. Dylan’s story touched even UFC Heavyweight, Frank Mir who volunteered to be auctioned off in a charity MMA Bachelor/Bachelorette event held by It Aint Chemo earlier this month.
Dylan Woods did not go gently. He rose to the challenge. When it seemed he wouldn’t make it through another day, Dylan showed us he was not one to be beat and in August, at 50 lbs and wheel-chair bound, he made it to see Jones and Guardado victorious in their final amateur fights in Las Vegas. Both Jimmy Jones and Gil Guardado will be making their pro-debuts this November 13th in King of the Cage, which can be seen on PPV. Ryan Couture will be going for his second win in Strikeforce: Challengers on November 19th. Dylan fought his fight admirably and now helps science continue the fight as he gave his brain to cancer research. Most notably, he gave men who chose to fight, a solid ground to stand on and something to fight for and believe in; that ground is called It Aint Chemo and throughout these fighters careers, you will learn a lot more of the organization. It is time for Dylan to rest, but for Couture, Jones, and Guardado, it is time to stand and engage.
