Arianny Celeste on the Cover of UFC Magazine

[WrestlingSmarks News]

UFC octagon girl Arianny Celeste has been on the cover of many magazines in her time, including Playboy and Maxim. This month, she became the first female to ever grace the cover of the UFC magazine. The 25-year-old Las Vegas native has worked for the UFC since 2006 and quickly became one of the most visible faces associated with the organization. She was also voted Ring Girl of the Year at the 2010 MMA awards as well as hitting the number twenty three spot on the Maxim hot 100 list that same year.

Celeste majored in fitness and nutrition from UNLV, which apparently comes as a surprise to some. In a recent interview with Made Man, she addressed the stigma attached to her job:

MADE MAN: What does the average dude fail to understand about Octagon girls?

ARIANNY CELESTE: The biggest misconception is that we're all dumb bimbos. In reality, we're all smart. I'm very smart. I've managed to get other gigs and make a nice living out of this platform of being a UFC girl.

​

It hasn't all been roses for Arianny as she has had a recent failed attempt to release a music single titled "Fight to Love Me" which was met with poor reception from MMA fans and was later revealed to have been lifted from an already existing song by another artist.
