8 UFC Careers That Ended In The Worst Way Possible
5. Chandella Powell Took Her Modelling Too Far
In one of the most uber-masculine competitions in the modern cultural landscape, it's probably no surprise that displays of sporting violence are interspersed with scantily clad models holding cards to remind fans what round as about to take place.
The UFC has a long history of ring girls dating all the way back to the earliest events, with some such as Arianny Celeste using the platform to become well-known amongst MMA fans and further their careers. Arianny even parlayed her success in the UFC into an appearance in Playboy, appearing nude in 2010.
