UFC: 8 MMA Stars Who Dated Celebrities

6. Arianny Celeste & Travis Barker

While Arianny Celeste may not compete inside the cage, as UFC's most popular ring girl, she certainly qualifies as a star. She may be best known for carrying a sign around the Octagon, but Celeste has also had success outside of the UFC. The multi-time 'Ring Girl of the Year' winner has modeled for several high-profile publications including FHM and Maxim. She has even appeared on the cover of Playboy.

The Octagon girl even managed to catch the eye of Blink-182's Travis Barker. Barker and Celeste met at one of the drummer's concerts, and the two began dating in the summer of 2015. They were together for several months, with the relationship generating plenty of buzz in celebrity gossip circles.

Though they may not have been rockstars, the former Playboy model likely had plenty of would-be suitors waiting in the wings following the breakup.
