God bless America!

It just wouldn't be a normal holiday without sharing some skin on MMAmania.com. And the fine folks at theChive.com, along with the beautiful women who parade around the UFC's Octagon -- Arianny Celeste and Brittney Palmer -- came through in the clutch.

Perfect timing.

I was perusing theChive.com and saw the UFC Octagon girls again, so of course I clicked to check out the gallery, which you can check out in its entirety right here. That's not what I'm talking about though. What I'm talking about is that while I was scrolling through, I realized that I'm officially on the Brittney Palmer bandwagon.

Now, don't get me wrong, I've always thought she was an attractive young lady. But generally I never thought she held much of a candle compared to Arianny. Today, that changed. I've been converted. Brittney Palmer is the number one UFC octagon girl now.

Don't believe me? To see the page that did it, head on over to theChive.com.

There are also a few amazing pics after the jump, which were recently shot to celebrate Independence Day and the upcoming UFC 148: "Silva vs. Sonnen 2" super fight, to whet your appetites.

Enjoy:
