Arianny Celeste-

Embrace the holiday season with these sexy UFC bombshells.


This is your second Maxim cover, and you were once a Hometown Hottie. You must really like us!
I’ve always admired the girls in Maxim. When I started modeling, posing for the magazine was a big goal.

How was this shoot compared to the first one?
It was even more awesome, because this time I had the other UFC girls with me and we had a great car involved. My first Maxim cover was playful and girly, but this one is a lot sexier and darker.

Do the Octagon Girls get into cat fights?
No! We hang out, but there aren’t any pillow fights.

 

Arianny Celeste-

Dang, a lot of guys may be disappointed to hear that.
Well, in the dressing room we do walk around in our thongs and look each other over to make sure we’re all bronzed up and looking perfect for TV.

Let’s move into the Octagon. How has the UFC changed since you started 2006?
It’s blown up! First I thought MMA was kind of scary, but seeing what the fighters go through, I have total respect for what they do.

Arianny Celeste-

Got any favorite fighters?
I love Anderson Silva. He lives up to his nickname, the Spider, because he waits for the perfect moment to strike, and then he’s just incredible.

Do you have a nickname?
I’m too girly to get into the ring, but in normal life it would be the Silent Killer, because when I get mad you never know when I’m going to pounce!

What’s the biggest perk of being an Octagon Girl?
Traveling. I loved Brazil and Sydney. If I’m by the water, in a bikini, I’m happy.

Arianny Celeste-

As are we. How do UFC fans react when they see you in person?
I’ve gotten proposals! It’s cute, but I have to decline.

So what’s your favorite part of the holidays?
Everything. I love the candy, the decorations, and cooking with my huge family.

Arianny Celeste-

What about cheesy Christmas music?
I get into it, but I love house music. I have a song on iTunes, “Top of the World,” with Manufactured Superstars.

What can we do for a kiss under the mistletoe?
Just a kiss? Good breath and good teeth. But to really get me in the mood, I need candles and a massage.

So have you been naughty or nice this year?
A mixture of both, but more on the naughty side. I like to keep things interesting.

Brittney Palmer-

How did you start working with the UFC?
I grew up in Vegas, so right out of high school I was dancing in shows on the Strip and modeling. That’s when I got a call to audition as an Octagon Girl.

Do you ever think about stepping into the cage?
I train muay Thai and jujitsu, but just as a hobby. I’m a lover, not a fighter.

Have you ever been attracted to any of the fighters?
Well, you don’t want to sh—you know, mix business with pleasure. I have the best job in the world, but it’s good to keep a boyfriend separate.

Brittney Palmer-

How do you spend your free time?
I actually go to art school. I love painting. I do a lot of rock’n’­roll portraits, and I’ve even painted one of UFC president Dana White.

The holidays are coming. What’s a good last-minute gift for a girlfriend?
If you’re really stumped, go for simple jewelry or a pair of shoes, something she can wear every day.

What’s the worst gift you’ve ever received?
None! It’s always the thought that counts.

Brittney Palmer-

We don’t buy that for a second. Do you have any guilty pleasures?
Just chocolate. I grew up in the Vegas nightlife, so now I’m much more of a daytime person, and I hate being hung over.

Fair enough. So what’s the quickest way to get you in the mood?
For sex? Be a little aggressive! Let me know that it’s on.

Kenda Perez-

You’ve been in Maxim before. What is it about MMA girls that we can’t get enough of?
They just go hand in hand! I was discovered by the UFC when I was in Maxim as a Hometown Hottie.

If you weren’t working with the UFC, would you still be a fan?
Oh, for sure. I had already been to a few MMA fights in the nosebleed seats. Now I get the “blood on me” seats. 

Hot! How did you first get into it?
My dad’s been training in karate for over 20 years, so I always thought he could beat up anybody’s dad.

Kenda Perez-

You see so many different fighting styles. What’s your favorite?
I get excited about the ban­tamweights and the flyweights. They’re so much more active, running around the cage, doing flying knees and Superman punches. 

Really? The small guys?
Well, I’m not gonna lie and say I don’t also like to see two heavyweights knock each other out.

Any girl crushes on the female fighters?
I’ve met the Lybarger twins, Jillian and Jocelyn, and they’re super sweet.
