Arianny Celeste became a UFC Octagon Girl in typical fashion – through a modeling casting call – but ever since she made her debut at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in 2006, life has been anything but typical for the 22-year old, who saw her first live mixed martial arts fight that summer night in Las Vegas.
“It was nerve racking and kinda scary, but it was really cool,” said Arianny of her first night working for the UFC.  “I liked it a lot.”

Since then, this striking Latina has become a fixture at UFC events and a fan favorite.  She’s also transformed from a casual fan of MMA to a diehard follower of the sport.

“The best part of the job is the whole experience – being able to travel and watch these great fighters,” she said.  “Plus, all of this is real, so it’s just amazing.”

The perks of the job aren’t bad either.

“Sometimes I get recognized and it’s really cool when you see people who just want to talk to you and get your picture,” she admits.  “It makes me feel really good, like a little celebrity (Laughs).”

When I was 16 I started modeling…it was more of a hobby than anything.  When I was 18 I sent in photos to agencies and began working immediately. My first job modeling was with a real estate infomercial. It was a lot of fun and I got bit by the modeling bug.

I was contacted by a lot of the modeling agencies locally and one thing led to another.

At first most of my gigs where swimwear shoots. I finally got a break when FORD motor company asked me to do modeling for them full time. Next was TV. I appeared on the Carson Daly show, the Nick and Jessica Variety show, and the WB Morning show. Furthermore, I was in an independent movie called “Vegas, Baby” with Chuck Liddell. When I built up my resume I wasn’t sure where I wanted my career to go, and then the UFC® was introduced to me.

It was my second time working as a Octagon girl™ at a boxing match and the press took my photo and posted it on an MMA website. James Pena (trainer with UFC®) approached me and told me the UFC® was looking for a new Octagon Girl™ and would I try out. Of course, my answer was yes and I gave him my card and received an email immediately from the company. I went in for an interview and have been with UFC® ever since. Time flies by, and is the most fun I’ve ever had.
