(Won’t you help provide a much-needed UFC ring girl uniform to an impoverished model like Georgia?)
According to a recent post on uk.ufc.com, the UFC is looking to hire a “British beauty” to be their new Octagon Girl, starting with a recurring appearance on The Ultimate Fighter Australia vs. UK – The Smashes. The new Octagon Girl could potentially go on to work at live UFC events in the U.K. and even internationally.
To fill the vacancy, there will be an open casting session this Friday, June 15th, at the Hilton Hotel on Edgware Road in London, beginning at 11 a.m. Applicants must be “aged 18-30, athletic and fit, pretty and photogenic, articulate and able to speak on camera, and have previous modelling experience.”
The U.K. arguably has the highest concentration of bomb-ass MMA ring girls per capita than any other country in the world, which means the competition on Friday will be fierce and possibly bloody. So who is most deserving of the gig? We’ve nominated our nine favorite British MMA ring girls after the jump; revisit their past work by clicking their names and photos, and vote for your favorite on our Facebook page. We’ll pass along the results to the UFC, who will most likely tell us to go fuck ourselves. But who knows — maybe your opinion can make a difference.
On to the wimmins…

(“Trust me, this is gonna be the craziest elimination round in the history of the show.”)
The UFC announced yesterday that they will soon begin production of a new season of The Ultimate Fighter that will be shot and aired in Australia, and will pit an Aussie team against a team from the United Kingdom. According to the press release:
The Australian series, dubbed The Smashes™ — a play on the 130 year-old cricket rivalry — will see undiscovered professional MMA fighters from Australia and the United Kingdom live together in The Ultimate Fighter House in Australia and compete against each other for a prized UFC contract. This is only the second time in TUF’s seven-year history that teams will represent their country of origin, the first taking place in 2009, during the ninth series, as Team USA took on Team UK.
‘Australia and the UK have a fierce, long-standing rivalry, and where better to settle the score than in the UFC’s Octagon,’ said Marshall Zelaznik, UFC’s Managing Director of International Development.

The UFC is now accepting applications from fighters who want to be on the next international season of TUF, which follows the ongoing Brazil season coached by rivals Wanderlei Silva and Vitor Belfort. We’re guessing you either have to be British, Australian or do a damn good fake accent from one of those places to be considered for The Smashes. Aspiring Australian fighters should go here for registration forms, rules and qualification criteria. UK fighters should go here.
There are live tryouts scheduled for June 12 in Sydney and June 15 in London, which will be open to fighters ranging in weight from 61kg to 77kg (bantamweight to welterweight, basically). If you’re trying out, bonne chance, as they say in Australia. We’d love to see a Tater Nation member getting after it on whatever more-rugged version of television that Australia has. So who would you like to see coach these guys? Our vote is for Michael Bisping vs. that chin-in-eye dude…
