23 Photos of Cyndie Franchi, French MMA Ring Girl and Model


(Full gallery is after the jump.)

Props to Babes of MMA for introducing us to Cyndie Franchi, a French model and MMA ring girl originally from Corsica who now splits her time between Marseille and Paris. In addition to carrying round-cards for local fight promotions like Fightway Challenge, Cyndie’s work as a glamour model has appeared in such notable cheesecake-mags as FHM France, Maxim France, Dymelife, and Red Hot Kittens Magazine.

Cyndie spends her free time practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is involved in various humanitarian efforts related to sick and disabled children. Her philosophy on being a glamour model goes like this:

I have always loved the era of Marilyn Monroe. Being a woman with explosive curves, with a certain sensuality, a sexy woman and assertive! A woman who gives some desire to men! Every women love to give pleasure to a man or men! Every human being likes to please in general, that’s a fact! Give dreams to men is a pleasant thing! It is good to dream nowadays for something or someone!

Makes sense to us! Check out lots more great Cyndie Franchi photos in the gallery below, and follow her life on Facebook and twitter. [*Note: The photos near the end of the gallery are slightly NSFW.]

The 12 Greatest Ring Girls in UFC History, Ranked


(Edith and Arianny on the job, back when the phrase “GOD’S STREET SOLDIER” used to mean something. / Photo via CombatLifestyle.com)

When ranking the greatest UFC ring girls of all time, four criteria must be considered: looks, personality, longevity, and whether or not they ever posed nude for Playboy. (That last one is probably the most important.) So in honor of the UFC’s 20th anniversary, we decided to pay tribute to the unsung heroines of the Octagon, who bravely circle the cage in booty-shorts to remind drunken fans what round it is. Disagree with our list? Then let us know in the comments section, tough guy.

#12 & #11 (tie): Chrissy Blair and Vanessa Hanson

Chrissy and Vanessa both made their UFC ring girl debuts in 2011 after winning contests put on by Transworld, and were officially added to the Octagon Girl rotation earlier this year following a stint in Strikeforce. They’re kind of a package deal, and we can’t decide which one is more attractive, so we’ll let them share the leadoff spots on this list. (Honestly, the Betty and Veronica thing will never go out of style.) Chrissy and Vanessa were most recently seen earlier this month, supporting the troops.

#10: Jessica Cambensy

Winner of the 2012 Potato Award for Best Female Newcomer, Jessica is part of the Octagon Girl crew for the UFC’s Asian events. The Chinese-Filipina-American model made her debut last November at UFC on FUEL 6: Franklin vs. Le, and will hopefully show up to rescue the UFC’s garbage-ass Singapore card in January.

#9: Jhenny Andrade

Meanwhile in South America, Jhenny Andrade has stood out as the most impressive local Octagon Girl in a pool that already includes such beauties as Aline Franzoi and Camila Oliveira. The Sao Paulo-bred model first showed up at UFC 163 in August, and has held round-cards at UFC events on a monthly basis since then. The sky’s the limit for this young Brazilian phenom.

#8. Holly Madison

Maybe it’s cheating to include a woman who only appeared as a UFC ring girl twice and has already retired from the game. But the blonde bombshell and reality TV star certainly made a lasting impression when she showed up for guest Octagon Girl performances at UFC 100 and UFC 125. And yes, she’s posed nude for Playboy. Like, lots of times. If you don’t believe me, ask the Internet.

#7. Logan Stanton

The German-Japanese model from Niceville made her UFC debut in December 2008, and quickly stole our hearts with her winning smile, quirky laugh, and craft projects. Unfortunately, she was fired a year later without explanation. (See also: Natasha Wicks.) Since then, Logan has booked countless modeling gigs and co-founded a jewelry line, but other than a cameo appearance at UFC 149 last July, Logan has put down the round cards for good.
