UFC president Dana White has responded to a Melbourne mayor’s call to remove Octagon girls from the upcoming Australia event.
UFC 243 takes place in Melbourne, Australia and will be headlined by a massive middleweight title unification fight between Robert Whittaker and Israel Adesanya. However, earlier this month, Lord Mayor of Melbourne Sally Capp called for the UFC to move on past the outdated practice of having ring girls.
“It’s 2019, do we really still need scantily-clad women to wander around the middle of a fighting ring between rounds?” Capp said. “Grid girls are no longer part of Formula One, walk-on girls are no longer part of professional darts — surely it’s time to move on.”
That obviously didn’t go down well with White who recently clapped back:
“Our Octagon girls, they’re as much a part of the UFC brand as anyone, they’re ambassadors for our sport,” White told The Daily Telegraph. “So for someone who has absolutely no education whatsoever about who these girls are – about what they do, what they mean to the UFC – to start going off, it’s ridiculous.”
White pointed to how some of the Octagon girls like Arianny Celeste and Brittney Palmer have used their jobs to go on to bigger things:
“So you can look at any sport you like, nobody treats women better than we do,” White added. “And I’d suggest these people calling on them to be banned go have a look at what these girls do with the company, the type of money they’re making.
“Do that and you’ll realize these girls are as important to our brand as anyone else in the company. And that’s exactly the way we treat them.”
Do you agree with White?

Robert Whittaker will make his long-awaited return to the Octagon next month. “The Reaper” headlines UFC 243 in Australia opposite Israel Adesanya.
Whittaker defends his UFC middleweight title against the interim champ in Adesanya. All the action goes down from the Marvel Arena in Melbourne, Australia on October 6. Whittaker hasn’t competed since June of 2018. Over a year has passed for Whittaker since he has fought, dealing with some serious health issues along the way. Now, he’ll step back into action against one of the hottest strikers in the sport at the moment.
Speaking to MMA Junkie, however, Whittaker says she’s unconcerned with ring rust heading into the fight, as he has been keeping himself active.
“I do believe in ring rust if you’re not doing certain things to prepare yourself for competition,” Whittaker said. “If you’re not competing at all, if you haven’t competed at all and you’re not used to the adrenaline dump, not used to the pressure that comes with competing, then certainly the pressure is going to get to you and you might falter.
“I’ve been competing in jiu-jitsu, I’ve been competing in wrestling, I’ve been sparring in ways to increase the pressure and feel that. There’s ways to combat that. I also think once you reach a certain level – I know what to do. I’ve been there before, I’ve felt the pressure before, and I know that come October I’m going to walk in there and do my best.”
Whittaker takes on an undefeated Adesanya with a record of 17-0. “Stylebender” is a proven finisher who has picked up big victories over Derek Brunson, Anderson Silva, and Kelvin Gastelum. When the two finally clash in Melbourne, it will be the biggest fight in Australian history.
Do you think Whittaker will show signs of ring rust at UFC 243?

UFC 243 is right around the corner, and many are suggesting it could be the biggest event in the promotion’s history.
In the main event of the night, UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker takes on interim champion Israel Adesanya to unify their titles. This is a battle of two of the best strikers at 185 pounds, who are proven finishers and tough five-round warriors. All the action goes down from the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia on October 5, 2019.
Whittaker hasn’t fought since June of 2018 when he defeated Yoel Romero at UFC 225. The fight was initially set to be a championship bout, however, with Romero missing weight, it was changed to a five-round non-title fight. This will officially be the first title defense of Whittaker’s career.
He takes on Adesanya, an undefeated striker with a record of 17-0. In his last outing, “Stylebender” outclassed Kelvin Gastelum to capture the interim middleweight title and secure himself the next shot at Whittaker. Ahead of the fight, the UFC has released an epic promo video for the Whittaker vs. Adesanya matchup.
