A Loving Photo/Video Tribute to Jade Bryce, Former (!?) Bellator Ring Girl

(MMA Impressions With Jade Bryce, Part 2: The Thrill of Victory” — The greatest original video we’ve ever published.)

By now, you’ve probably heard the sad news: Longtime Bellator ring girl Jade Bryce has been released from the promotion. “Super sad to announce that I am no longer with Bellator,” Jade wrote on Instagram over the weekend. “They have chosen to go in a different direction for the new year. I worked exactly 99 fights for them over the past 4 years, & it truly was the best 4 years of my life.”

If Bellator’s “new direction” involves getting rid of all of its ring girls — even the other one that you never really hear about — because the use of ring girls in combat sports is a sexist tradition or whatever, we will grudgingly accept that. (Also, if Bellator is cutting Jade to make room for a ring boy, we will also accept that, because CagePotato has always supported equality and absurdity.)

Any other explanation makes no sense. Jade Bryce is a more beloved and respectable figure than 90% of Bellator’s actual fighter-roster. So yeah, we’re a little bitter today, because we love Jade; she’s beautiful, kind-hearted, and any MMA ring girl who doesn’t recoil in horror around us is aces in our book.

To help you process your own grief about Jade’s firing, we’ve collected her all-time greatest videos, photos, and assorted miscellany that we’ve ever posted on this site. Enjoy these two jam-packed pages of Classic Jade, click all the images for larger versions, and show her some love on Twitter @thejadebryce. We’ll let you know where she ends up.

Order Jade Bryce’s 2015 Calendar, And Support a Great Cause

When it comes to MMA ring girls, Bellator’s Jade Bryce is certainly in the conversation for G.O.A.T. Our favorite fighter-impressionist has always devoted a large chunk of her life to charitable efforts, and she’s come up with another way to raise money for a good cause: Proceeds from all sales of her 2015 calendar will benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“St. Jude’s is something that’s very dear to my heart,” Jade told CagePotato. “Children in pain are what keep me up at night, and St. Jude’s takes that pain away for so many of them. Before it was founded, over 90% of children with cancer died. St. Jude’s has completely turned that statistic around — now that many SURVIVE and their parents aren’t charged a dime.

“I have visited the hospital, and it’s the happiest sad place on earth. They give children so much hope in the daily activities, including schoolwork so that they feel like their life is going to continue — otherwise why would they still be in school? They are solely run on donations, and each donation goes towards saving a child’s life.”

Jade’s 2015 calendar is available for $30 at OfficialJadeBryce.com, and all calendars will be signed by Jade herself. Here’s a small taste of the photos in the calendar; we’ve put one more pic after the jump that’s juuuuust a little too risqué to leave on the homepage. Enjoy.
