Besides getting into heated verbal battles with Ronda Rousey, long-time UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste also likes to take off all her clothes and pose sexy for one of America’s finest men’s lifestyle magazine, Playboy.

That’s right! Celeste recently put her beef aside with the bantamweight champion to focus on posing for the Playboy camera.

It would be a stunning discovery to find UFC Octagon girl Arianny Celeste lounging in her underwear in your office chair. And that’s exactly what happened when Arianny visited Playboy for an exclusive shoot, where she definitely wasn’t afraid of getting caught by HR.

Watch the video clip above to see Celeste in action again, or hit this link for all the juicy photos.

In 2015, expect to see lots of changes in Bellator MMA. This is the year you’ll see Scott Coker’s vision take shape for the organization since he replaced former Bellator President Bjorn Rebney. Besides looking for top talent who will move the needle in the new year, Bellator appears to be also moving in a different direction with ring card girls.

At Bellator’s upcoming event on Spike TV, long-time ring card girl Jade Bryce won’t be sitting at ring side. On Saturday night, Bryce announced via Instagram that she parted ways with Bellator MMA.

Jade Bryce’s Thank You Letter:

[sic]
Super sad to announce that I am no longer with Bellator. They have chosen to go in a different direction for the new year. I worked exactly 99 fights for them over the past 4 years, & it truly was the best 4 years of my life. These pictures are from my very 1st fight. I will be at the MMA awards in Vegas next month as a nominee for ring girl of the year, & hope to be involved in some super fights. I would love to stay involved in the sport as much as I can, & will be watching each fight from tv! Thank you for all the support over the last 4 years, you guys have made it such a wonderful ride. I hope to continue to be a positive influence on the platform that I still have. I love you all. Xoxo.

For now, just enjoy the full set of Brittney Palmer photos in the gallery above. If you want more, then head over the Fitness Gurls.

She was the first American woman to earn an Olympic medal (Bronze) in Judo at the Summer Olympics in Beijing in 2008. She was the Women’s Bantamweight Champion in STRIKEFORCE and is the first and current UFC Champion in the same class. Rousey is also widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound female fighter.

And who really cares if she’s mean as Tate claims, she’s a fighter and she’s good at her job.

Ah, and then there’s Hollywood. Gina Carano proved the crossover appeal with her role in Haywire, going on to appear in Fast & Furious 6 and In the Blood. Now, Ronda Rousey is looking to the future with roles in The Expendables and Fast & Furious 7. By her own admittance, she only has a couple years left as a fighter.

Check the odds for yourself here. Strikeforce: “Tate vs. Rousey” is currently scheduled for Saturday, March 3, 2012 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. In addition to the aforementioned Women’s Bantamweight Championship fight headlining the card, the event also boasts notable Strikeforce talent like Josh Thomson, Paul Daley, Ronaldo Souza, and Scott Smith.

This will be Meisha Tate’s first defense of her belt after beating Marloes Coenen by submission in July of 2011. It was the first submission loss of the veteran Coenen’s career, and it extended Tate’s current win-streak to six straight fights. Overall Tate is 12-2 with a majority of her wins (eight of twelve) by stoppage, with a majority of those wins (five of eight) by submission.

Ronda Rousey, meanwhile, is well-known as the outspoken, always-controversial former Olympian that has earned a shot at the title after only four fights as a professional Mixed Martial Artist. All four of those wins have been by armbar, all four of those wins have been in the first round, and even more impressive, all four of those wins have come within the first minute of action. Rousey even has two wins that were earned in under thirty seconds.

Let me get this out of the way right away: I’m not disrespecting Ronda Rousey. I love me a “badboy” fighter (regardless of gender), and Rousey is a breath of fresh air in a division that is filled with a huge amount of talent but not that many personalities. Rousey is an incredibly scary woman to get in the cage with, and I’m honestly not surprised that she’s gotten a title shot this quickly. I even think she deserves one: history is on her side, as is marketability and the promotional force of Zuffa. The situation is what it is: she’s very popular, very attractive, very marketable, and most importantly she’s a very good fighter. And whenever you have that perfect storm of ingredients in MMA, of course you can expect to be catapulted to the top.

But a four-to-one favorite over Meisha Tate? That’s just plain disrespectful to Tate and the skills she’s shown inside of the cage. Meisha Tate is more than worthy of the belt that’s currently wrapped around her waist. As a pretty face she’s very marketable as well, but she’s also got a huge amount of skill in wrestling and takedowns, her stand-up is constantly improving, and yes, she does have a submission game. Maybe it’s not as good as Rousey’s, but it’s good enough that she’s won more times by submission than anything else.

If you want my opinion, I’d have Tate the slight favorite. Tate has shown an ability to stay calm and collected under pressure, and she’s got a lot of experience in deep waters, having competed twice in one night and having fought to the fourth round when she won the belt. I think Tate is going to take Rousey down and rearrange her face for five rounds. There’s a strong possibility that Rousey will grab something in those twenty-five minutes of getting grounded and pounded, but that’s why I have Tate as only the slight favorite.

But a four-to-one underdog? I just don’t see it. The bookmaker’s lack of faith in Meisha Tate both confuses and angers me. I think Tate is going to prove a lot of people wrong in this fight, and if you’re a betting man, you could make a decent chunk of change from that bet.
