UFC has delivered early Holiday gifts to its lovely Octagon girls, Logan Stanton and Natasha Wicks: Pink slips.
MMAmadness and Cagewriter report that Stanton and Wicks have been relieved of their duties as ring girls.
Stanton, who has graced the Octagon with her presence since UFC 92, received her walking paper after UFC decided not to renew her contract that expired after UFC 107. On the other hand, Wicks, who made her debut at UFC 101 to replace Edith Labelle, received the unfortunate news that her stint came to an end before her contract expired.
Arianny Celeste, who recently re-negotiated her contract with UFC, will remain on the payroll with a new companion: According to multiple sources, UFC will employ only two ring girls from now on. While awaiting official confirmation, rumors suggest that Chandella Powell, a former playmate, will replace Stanton and Wicks.
The reasons for the release of Stanton and Wicks remain under wraps. Could it be UFC's peripheral cost-cutting measure? Did UFC deem Stanton and Wicks "poor fit within UFC/Zuffa's organizational culture"?

Oh well but I bet it was from....
When they talked about how Koscheck was faking the eye poke and stuff. Not their place to speak about it as people who work FOR the UFC
If I was dana i would have gave them a chance to make everything better

Who cares if they’re braindead. They should be able to express whatever feelings they have in interviews. One thing that’s so frustrating with the UFC is how nobody ever speaks the truth, it’s always coming out some BS to not sell any UFC employee out and make everything look like it’s a perfect, it just gets me boiling at home. I think Frank Mir is my new fav HW, atleast he speaks the truth and the way he sees things.
btw, Kos wasn’t eye poked when Anthony threw the knee at him so they were right, even if he was that’s Kos thing to deal with not the UFC’s.
It's a business
One thing to remember is that the UFC is a business and if you’re working for someone and you criticize the person you’re working for, you may get fired.
Maybe they didn't get along with Arianny
And she’s the “top” ring-girl since Rachelle retired from it.
This is terrible, terrible news.
:(
Get over it.

Well
Yeah at the end of the day this is not particularly relevant, we mainly just want to see fights. But I must say having just seen my first live UFC event in Memphis, the ring girls are a nice part of the live experience, particularly if you have good seats! These 2 are trolls though compared to Arianny.

Does anyone else think
that Arianny is starting to look like an old Korean lady? Not in the pic above but some of her straight on shots from recent weigh ins she looks a little more short and round nest to the other two ring girls. And for some reason it reminds me of a little old Korean lady. I have issues.
Get over it.

I thought she was Filipina

bad case of should be seen and not heard..
i saw the link..whew..they were painful..and the blonde was the worst ring girl ever..
Didn't the blonde do something stupid at 107?
Like instead of just waving and blowing a kiss at the camera, didn’t she talk to the camera or something out of the ordinary?
They both put Kos on blast for faking the eye thing over at MMAFix.
At least that’s the rumor i heard for the reasoning.

I saw that
I meant in addition to that. I kind of remember Natasha doing something to the camera at 107.
Yeah, I noticed that
They both seemed to be pissing about during the whole PPV. You have to be an idiot to get sacked from such an easy job, I’d rather them hire someone with good looks but also some knowledge of MMA, as it’s a waste giving such good seats and such a cushy job to someone that doesn’t appreciate it, the sport or the fighters.

That Natasha chick did say something to the camera, then act all weird.
Do you think these chicks are all partying too much or something? They have a pretty easy life and have to be at parties for half of it. Natasha looked kinda drunk on Saturday.
They were probabaly both smashed

I did not see your post
I wouldn’t have bothered otherwise.
It looked like she said I love you
or something like that. They will be easily replaced and quickly forgotten.
Yeah
Sucks they lost a job, but life goes on. They were probably drunk and seemed excessively giggly at 107.
And I have no doubt that with all their qualifications they’ll land a great new high paying job very soon.
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
I've seen more than I can recall.
Tough economy
Even girls with, um, good personalities are getting fired and having to go to Hooters.

Hooters has lowered their standards because they had to
All the dumb pretty girls are at the strip clubs now.
Tuff call at Christmas
but did anyone else see them at the weigh ins for 107, like a couple of annoying giggling school girls, i thought Joe was going to tell them to shut up.
same at 107
i was very close to them at 107, and they did act like school girls. odd gestures and appeared to favor one fighter over the other. like you said – Tuff call at Christmas

Meh
I can live with it as long as arianny is still there.
That should be enough Champ, don't be so greedy.
She is pretty too. Good tooth to gum ratio, that’s hard to find in a woman.
Are you kidding
Perfect ass, perfect tits, great face your fcked in the head dude.
people prefer different things
like her face in this picture ….just doesnt look sexy at all….and frankly some of the stuff they said could hurt there buisness, talking bad about fighters who put their health on the line every event for what? So a dumb girl who holds a card can bad mouth fighters because they favor the other guy.
She just has that bitch face like "Im too good for this UFC shit"
And the face is just okay. I just think the UFC could do so much better than just okay. NFL and NBA cheerleaders are sexier than the girls the UFC gets!
Sherk out!
Sherdog just reported that Sherk is out of the Jim Miller fight due to a cut over his right eye
the blonde was the worst ring girl ever...?
yes, because we all know this requires an incredible amount of skill
Does this mean new girls?
Who are the options? They should let the fans vote. I don’t like the one they picked last time, Natasha, glad to see her go.
No, I'm sure lots of other posters will like her.
Not my type. She definitely isn’t better than Logan for me. Bad trade in my eyes. LOL
definitely miss my blonde now. DAMMIT
Shit

Man I think she's fairly mint anyway!!
Can’t beat a half cast with a mint body imo…
Hip hop honeys….NICE!!
I"m no Ned Flanders punk!!
I really liked the blonde. Thought she was adorable. Oh well.

Not to be racist..
But is this an affirmative action thing? UFC trying to attract the african american race..
Really?
Thank god you guys are on this super important news while completely missing that Sherk pulled out of 108.
BTW
I appreciated the REAL women look. Girls with DD fake boobs, botox, and facelifts are not attractive to me AT ALL.
Arianny is a b-tch!
I created an account just to add this. At the UFC fan expo I was in the elevator with some friends and noticed her riding with us texting someone. I joked with my friends saying “Hey we never got a picture with that hot ring girl Arianny, huh?” Arianny looked up and said rudely, “I’ve been working for 10 hours straight!” Everyone was shocked, so I said “Never mind, it was a joke!” Just thought people who count should know about her.
Re: Arianny is a b-tch!
Maybe I should have give more info. I met about 5 UFC fighters in the elevator during that trip, all after hours, all super nice, even saw Patrick Cote on the line at the buffet at Mandalay Bay, he was sitting near us but stopped eating breakfast to offer taking a picture with us but we didn’t have our camera! So I guess because everyone else was so gracious off the job and she was the opposite, it kind of turned me off.
"Hey we never got a picture with that hot ring girl Arianny, huh?"
Somehow I don’t think many girls like to be talked to like that. Talking about a girl in front of her like she can’t hear you. Even if it was a joke.
That's true
You would have been better off giving her a creepy fake hump like Rampage for an uncomfortable amount of time.
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
I've seen more than I can recall.
zing!
thank you for that PW

Horrible replacement
Logan should stay. I would like to hear their side of what happened cus that really sucks.
It will be ok.
I think the girls are sad but they will be ok. Logan still does modeling for a living. She said she had a great time but was not to sad because she still has a full schedule. Plus how much could either of them girls really have made being the ring girls. I sure they made a lot of contacts and life will be ok.
You hardly even see these girls on the PPV anyway
so who cares? You see them more at the weigh ins if anything looking so uninterested at what’s going on.

Both of them are ugly as hell
Especially the flat one with the deformed finger.

hate to see them go....
but love to watch them leave

Hot girls are a dime a dozen
Besides, I see better looking girls than them every week. They’ll move on to different things, we’ll get fresh meat to hold up the signs, big deal.

I'd watch that show

Have no fear ladies and gentlemen
This new octagon girl more than makes up for Stanton and Wicks. She is F’ing hot!!! It’s about time the ufc got a little color. Plus have you seen the ass on this chick? It’s as good if not better than the queen of great asses Ali Sonoma.
If that's the new chick
she’s way hotter than the 3 recent rejects. Between here and Arianny, we’re doing ok in the ring girl department.
Hadoken!!
Arianny!!
Never really liked either of these two as ring girls anyway. As long as they do not get rid of Arianny I will be o.k. I was disappointed that she wasn’t at 107 but what can you do.
Ariany is the bomb >>>!<<<
i liked logan 2. i hope that black chick isnt the new replacement i dont want 2 look at that ugly mug wen im used a-bomb & logan!
shame about Logan...
but did anyone else ever feel she really didn’t care??
She never looked impressed with anything.
Get Rochelle and Ali back!!!
AWITE GIRL!!!!!!
