When you put together some of the world’s most beautiful women and a roster full of testosterone-fueled fighters it’s inevitable that some sparks will fly, right? Fans often like to speculate as to whether any of the fighters on the UFC roster have managed to successfully woo the Octagon girls, and all kinds of rumors
When you put together some of the world’s most beautiful women and a roster full of testosterone-fueled fighters it’s inevitable that some sparks will fly, right?
Fans often like to speculate as to whether any of the fighters on the UFC roster have managed to successfully woo the Octagon girls, and all kinds of rumors have been spread over the years as to who may or may not have been dating.
In this article we’ll stick to the facts rather than the hearsay as we name six lucky UFC fighters who genuinely have dated an Octagon girl…and let’s just say that one or two are going to raise a few eyebrows!

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.
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.

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.
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.
The good news is that we’ve got topless photos of Natasha Wicks for you. The better news is that since she sorta went the topless/body paint route in order to support an organization that helps people with cancer, so you don’t have to feel like a complete creep for checking these out on a Sunday morning.
It Ain’t Chemo “provides cancer patients with comfort and care supplies, advice and emotional support,” according to its website. It was founded by a firefighter and cancer survivor named Kevin Hoyt and enlists the help of celebrity endorsers like Wicks and athletes like Ryan Couture to raise awareness of its organization.
The idea behind the organization’s name and tagline is that we should remember those that are struggling more than we are. Ie. Had a crappy week at work? Well, at least it ain’t chemo therapy. They sell some dope apparel on their site to raise money for their services. Check them out.
Also feel free to check out photos of Wicks wearing very little other than some It Ain’t Chemo-themed body paint at a recent fundraiser party after the jump.

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.
Ariel Helwani and the lovely Arianny Celeste bring us a less “awkward” than usual interview. (*Note: You should play The Drinking Game with the word “awkward” when watching this interview.) He asks about the Chael.
Ariel Helwani and the lovely Arianny Celeste bring us a less “awkward” than usual interview. (*Note: You should play The Drinking Game with the word “awkward” when watching this interview.) He asks about the Chael Sonnen beef, but that has since been “squashed” and is less interesting than when Helwani asks Celeste if she’s happy for Brittney Palmer‘s return or if three is a crowd. Celeste responds, “In the past, three has always been a crowd, but we make it work… I think it will be good. We’ll see.”
Helwani presses further for controversy by asking Celeste: “Who has been the worst Octagon Girl of all time in your opinion?”
Celeste answers, “I can’t say but I’m sure that you guys can guess. Like the worst interviewer ever. Like, [Arianny makes whiney screeching sound] is all I can say.”
Ariel Helwani tries to extract a name from Arianny, which put her on the defense to say, “Everyone thinks I’m like the evil one. I’m not the evil one. I’m just the one that has been around the longest, that knows how to talk about the sport, that actually has a brain…Obviously, I know what I have and I use it to my advantage and that’s why I’ve been around this long… I’m not some evil chick.”
Celeste says she has no influence over who is hired and fired unlike what some fans have perceived.
Former UFC Octagon Girl, Natasha Wicks was bombarded with questions regarding this interview and took to her Facebook to respond:
Several of Natasha’s supporters offered kind words and a couple of fans bashed Celeste. Wicks went on to comment asking for no one to insult Arianny. Wicks simply wanted to clear the air and respond to the questions regarding Celeste’s statement to Helwani. Wicks said “spread love” not hate.
Well, I certainly hope that ends this potential feud from growing. Pretty girls should never fight with each other, unless there are pillows involved… Maybe jello… Mud?… I digress.
