ARIANNY CELESTE
Since making her debut six years ago, the sexy Las Vegas native has become a fixture at UFC events, driving fans crazy across the globe
You’ve done a few MAXIM shoots. How was this compared to the first one?
It was even more awesome, because this time I had the other girls here. My first shoot was playful and girly, but this one is a lot sexier and darker.
Do the Octagon Girls ever get into catfights?
No! We hang out, but there aren’t any pillow fights.
Damn, 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.
What’s the best perk of being an Octagon Girl?
Travelling. I loved Brazil and Sydney. If I’m by the water, in a bikini, I’m happy.

Freshen up your fantasies with the UFC’s resident blonde bombshell
How did you start with the UFC?
I grew up in Vegas, so right out of high school I was dancing in shows on the Strip and modelling. 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.
How do you spend your free time?
I actually go to art school. I love painting. I do a lot of rock & roll portraits, and I’ve even painted one of UFC president Dana White.
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.

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.
You see so many different fighting styles. Which is your favourite?
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? Pfft!
Well, I’m not gonna lie and say I don’t like to see two heavyweights knock each other out as well.
Got any girl crushes on the female fighters?
I’ve met the Lybarger twins, Jillian and Jocelyn, and they are super sweet.
