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.
