(Don't ask her where she was keeping that)
We've got some Brittney for you guys today in the form of an interview AND pics of her in a white dress so tight it's strangling her chest puppies to death. Don't woray, I will saev teh puppehs. B freee, u guys!Fun fact from the interview:
She began her career in entertainment as a Magician’s Assistant and Dance Captain for the Ultimate Variety Show in 2006. From 2007-2010 she was an Ensemble Dancer for X Burlesque in Las Vegas at the Flamingo Hotel.
Man, magician's assistants are like the lowest of the low. Translation: she spent her teen years being overly impressed with a scumbag who made his penis disappear into her vagina. It's a testament to her hotness that she managed to graduate up from jobs like 'Dance Captain' and 'Ensemble Dancer' to 'Hottest UFC Octagon Chick' (deal with it, Arianny). Man, hot chick careers are strange. Speaking of her own hot chick career moves, here's how Brittney described being in Playboy:
"Being an art student I am used to being around nude figures so I wasn’t hesitant when I was approached by Playboy. I wouldn’t say this was a dream I had as a little girl, but this is a golden opportunity. My friends and family have been so supportive, they know every decision I have made has helped my career and led me to a better place."
You mean as a child you didn't stare at the naughty shelf of pornos in the corner store and dream of one day being up there too? I bet you don't even have one of those super cheesy Playboy tattoos. Faker.
San Diego native UFC Ring Girl Brittney Palmer has been making a splash outside of the Octagon lately. The trained artist that has been charming viewers both during fights and interviews is the now the cover girl on the March issue of Playboy.
Fan favorite UFC Octagon Girl Brittney Palmer is the cover girl in the March issue of Playboy and we are elated. To celebrate this glorious unveiling, we've collected the 20 Hottest photos of...

If you’ve ever wondered what UFC Octagon girl Brittney Palmer looks like without her clothes (don’t lie, you have), you’re very close to finding out because her Playboy pictorial finally hits newsstands and the Playboy website this Friday, Feb. 17.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Octagon Girls Brittney Palmer and Arianny Celeste have made AskMen.com's list of "Top 99 Women" for 2012. The popular website for men "scoured the globe" to find the "most desirable women" who "aren't just the next pretty faces" but "smart, strong women who offer the complete package."
Brittney Palmer came in at number 40 because:
MMA is the fastest-growing sport in North America, and along with it comes an explosion of ring girls. Even during boxing's zenith, fans didn't know ring card models by name. Brittney Palmer and her UFC contemporaries have changed that. Charismatic, even when just strutting around the Octagon, Palmer looks like a classic pin-up model with girl-next-door charm. An artist by training, Palmer's free spirit in interviews immediately caught MMA fans' attention and taught them to love instead of just crave blood. What? Too much? No, seriously, she's that hot.
Where did Arianny Celeste place? Find out after the jump.
Arianny Celeste is number 68 because:
You could point to a lot of reasons for why UFC has taken off as one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. But as far as we're concerned, there's only one: Arianny Celeste. The popular Octagon Girl has appeared in Maxim, Sports Illustrated and on the cover of Playboy, making her one of MMA's most recognizable faces. And now that Celeste's as much of a pay-per-view draw (if not more) as many of the sport's biggest stars, we're betting this knockout ring girl could turn even Gandhi into a UFC fan.
What say you? Should these lovely ladies have been placed higher or lower?

You may remember Brittney Palmer from her appearance on The Sporting Rave Podcast, and the UFC ring girl hasn’t let up since then.
She rejoined the UFC after her hiatus for art school, but hasn’t missed a beat. Fresh off her appearance at UFC on Fox 2 in Chicago, Brittney posted a picture on twitter of her latest piece of art, a painted guitar in the image of Jimi Hendrix.
Take a look below, this is just incredible. After seeing this genuine tribute, I look forward to what her art might hold in the future.

What's not to love about UFC Octagon Girl Brittney Palmer?
She is an artist, a musician and is not hard on the eyes. She also livens up every other Saturday night with her glorious smile and unmatched ability to carry a sign above her head between rounds for the biggest mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion in the world.
Before her gig at UFC 141, Brittney reflected back on 2011 and what a great year it was.
Thinking about how amazing this, you know, 2011 was for me, you know, truly was one of those years I'm going to tell my grand-kids about. It really was truly, you know, when I turned 24, that's when my whole entire life and career kind of met and formed this AMAZING plethora of awesomeness in which it did, and...uh...
What can we take from this, Maniacs? Brittney wants to have kids!!! Some of you may actually have a shot! Well, not really, but after the jump, get a link to Britt's smoking hot 2012 calendar and watch the video in its entirety.
Brittney has a new calendar out for 2012 and has big things planned for 2012.

+1 for Underboob
Come March literally thousands of MMA fans will be able to glimpse Brittney's boobies, hopefully its not one of those lame "I'm in the magazine but not naked" shoots. I give her a lot of shit about having some oddly shaped hooters but I will say the rest of her is bangin'. This will complete the UFC Ring Girl Playboy Trifecta.
HELLLOOOOOOOOOO NURSE. Sorry, had to get that out of the way. MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani broke the story late Saturday night that returning UFC Ring Girl Brittney Palmer will join Rachelle Leah and Arrianny Celeste as the third UFC employee to grace the cover of Playboy. Helwani was able to confirm the pictorial with sources at Playboy.
Palmer left the UFC after UFC 132 to pursue art school. It was only a few weeks ago that UFC President Dana White asked if his twitter followers would like to see Brittney Palmer back. Well now those fans will see a whole lot more of her when her pictorial hits news stands in March.
Palmer made her UFC return tonight at UFC 140 in Toronto. Fans were pleased to see the former WEC Ring Card Girl whistling every time she walked around the cage.
Stay tuned to Bloody Elbow as more details of the pictorial are released.

He was the better man tonight, & I have no regrets. I have said it since day one. Win, Lose, or Draw I come to fight! I am an aggressive fighter and I come to scrap. If I get caught trying to finish the fight then so be it. If I'm gonna lose that's how I wanna go out." -Ben Saunders, after losing his Bellator bout against Douglas Lima

Sorry to drop that bomb but it wasn't up to me... You guys will love the new Strikeforce ring girl! She is UH MAZING! I promise you" -Kelli Hutcherson
Here's the new Strikeforce Ring Girl, Corinne Solomon:
After thousands of letters and tweets, just from me, and thousands of more tweets from the rest of the Brittney Bunch, the lovely and beautiful Brittney Palmer is back with the UFC.
It was inevitable really. From the moment she graced the Octagon at UFC 125, she instantly became the most popular female to walk around a cage carrying an oversized card with a number on it. When it was announced that she would be taking time off to go to art school, fans were outraged.
I still contend that Brittney doesn’t need the UFC. She still has her art, is working on a clothing line, and is now the new spokesperson for GAMMA. She’s doing just fine on her own. She’s returning because it’s what the fans asked, nay, begged for and, as a woman of the people, Brittney was happy to oblige. That just goes to show what a kind-hearted person she truly is.
She’s like Jeff Bridges in True Grit. He didn’t need to track down Josh Brolin, but he saw the look on Haliee Steinfeld’s face and after some words of encouragement, he was on his horse ready to kill a man. We’ll just ignore that whole part about the $50.
I don’t want to start any conspiracy theories, but if you look at the landscape of the UFC from UFC 133 (the first non-Palmer event of the year) to now, there have been a lot of unfortunate happenings.
Tito Ortiz wins for the first time in forever at UFC 132, in front of Brittney, and then gets destroyed at UFC 133 by Rashad Evans, with no Brittney at cageside. Not only did Ortiz lose at UFC 133, but he was only in that fight because Phil Davis pulled out of the main event. That card also lost their co-main event between Rich Franklin and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. At the following event, Chris Lytle retired before the fight, despite still be a very competitive welterweight. No American’s won at UFC 134 in Brazil. UFC Fight Night 25 was the lowest rated Spike TV event of the year. Diego Sanchez pulled out of UFC 135. Dominick Cruz got stuck on Versus after headlining a PPV. Jose Aldo had his first non-entertaining fight in the octagon at UFC 136. Georges St. Pierre pulled out of UFC 137 and then Mirko Filipovic and B.J. Penn retired after losses. Finally, UFC 138 was one of the weakest cards ever and UFC failed to do any promotion.
I’m not saying guys have pulled out of fights or weren’t fighting as hard or decided to retire because Ms. Palmer isn’t in her usual chair, but just look at the evidence.
Now, Brittney is back, and UFC on FOX is going about as well as it can. Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos are healthy and are ready for the biggest UFC fight in history. In fact, FOX only wanted to put one fight on television just so they could show more Brittney.
Also, I don’t want to take credit for Brittney’s return, but I received no less than five Tweets and texts from friends congratulating me on her return. That’s right, they congratulated ME, like I’m the one who will be wearing booty shorts and receiving catcalls on Saturday night.
So while I don’t want to take credit for her return, I will.
I spent many hours writing letters and tweets, talking on podcasts, and praying for the UFC return of Brittney Palmer. It’s true that hard work pays off. I worked hard in my goal to get Brittney back and it finally paid off this past week.
I’d like to thank myself, for working so damn hard. My swagga coach, Taavon, for making me as awesome as I am. Five Ounces of Pain for allowing me to write excellence anytime I want. And Brittney Palmer for looking hot and being humble.
Oh yeah, and God.

Filed under: UFC, NewsLast seen at UFC 132 in July, UFC Octagon girl Brittney Palmer won't be absent from UFC events much longer.
UFC president Dana White late Wednesday asked his Twitter followers if the UFC should bring back Palmer and within the hour, White had an answer.
"Done! The votes have been counted and Brittney Palmer is back."
White told Heavy.com in August that Palmer never officially parted ways but pointed to Palmer's artistic aspirations as a reason for her absence.
"Nothing happened with Brittney Palmer. It's one of those situations where Brittney has moved onto other things. She's living in L.A. now. She wants to be an artist and she's going to art school."
Arianny Celeste and Chandella Powell are the two other active UFC Octagon girls. During Palmer's absence, model Vanessa Hanson was brought in once as a guest Octagon girl at UFC 136 as a prize for winning a Transworld Surf open model search.

Good news, fight fans. Brittney Palmer is no longer a former UFC Octagon Girl.
That's because UFC President Dana White popped up on Twitter with a surprising but simple question:
"Should we bring back @BrittneyPalmer? Vote now and let me know!!!!"
So, of course, he was retweeted to thousands and thousands of fans who overwhelmingly responded that yes, he should, in fact, bring back Brittney Palmer. Not more than eight minutes later, the verdict was in:
"Done!!!! The votes have been counted and @BrittneyPalmer is back!"
And there you have it.
Palmer originally took off back in August to pursue her passion, art, and go to school in California. She has yet to make a statement regarding all that but either way, she'll be back cageside, carrying around cards telling us what round it is. No word on when that will be, though.
Happy, Maniacs?
