Australian octagon girl Kahili Blundell was added to the fold for the first international version of The Ultimate Fighter, which was titled The Smashes and saw Australia take on the UK. A model and personal trainer with a Bachelor in Health Science, Blundell continues to work with the company on their Australian and recent New Zealand shows. She's one of the first Australian octagon girls, but you can expect more to come in future, as the UFC increases its international presence.
21. Kristie McKeon
Also featured on TUF: The Smashes, as well as on UFC on FX 6, Kristie McKeon is another Australian beauty who has modelled since age seventeen. With an Advanced Degree in Design and Communications, according to her official website, she decided her other passion, modelling, was the way to go. McKeon last worked at UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Brandao - and what an event that must have been for her! She's now getting to see the world, and you can expect to see more of her at future international events.
20. Kang Ye-Bin
For the UFC's first ever visit to China in November 2012, the UFC recruited South Korean TV host Kang Ye-Bin as an Octagon girl. Ye-Bin was actually the host of "UFC Inside" in South Korea, so she already had a working relationship with the promotion, thus the move made sense. She currently appears on the Korean series Wang's Family. Also known for modelling, Ye-Bin can't be faulted for aiming low, as she told The Chosunilbo that ""I'd like to look sexier and hotter than Arianny Celeste." Tough call.
