Take the word "ranking" with a grain of salt - there are no losers when it comes to the UFC's Octagon girls! First off - lets not pretend this is going to be an expansive, detailed look behind the scenes of the UFC machine. We're not about to uncover any hidden secrets or gain any insight into how the gears of the UFC works. This is all about the hotness of the ladies! People should appreciate that these girls have a job to do. Ring girls have been around, in boxing anyway, since at least the sixties. They started out with a simple, but important job: look attractive, add some sex appeal to boxing matches, and draw in the fans. Originally thought to have debuted in Las Vegas, they were meant to add some of the Vegas flair to things. If you know anything about Vegas, you get the picture. This made sense in the days when live gates, not Pay-Per-View orders and television buyrates, drove the fight business. Ring girls in this day and age are more tradition than anything. We know what round it is, because we're watching on TV, or on the giant screens at the venue. If you're up in the nosebleed section of a live event, you probably can't see them anyway. Yet we love them, as part of the entire tradition of combat sports, and they still do have a purpose - especially on the marketing and promotion side of things. Face it, men: if a pretty girl tells you to buy something, there's a better chance you'll do it than if it's a random guy. We're idiots driven by hormones sometimes. So lets take a look at 25 UFC octagon girls past and present that you just cannot miss.
