UFC Ring Girl Arianny Celeste Turns Heads By Showing Skin In NYC

UFC 288 took place in Newark, New Jersey, over the weekend, where many tuned in to watch the main event, Aljamain Sterling vs Henry Cejudo.

Following the event, UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste took a trip to the Big Apple to explore some of New York's best experiences and offerings.

The UFC ring girl is in New York City, exploring the streets and taking photos. Her outfit turned heads as she wore tight black pants and a black crop top, putting her abs on full display.

"Spring in NYC. ???," she captioned the post, which gained the attention of her 3.1 million followers.

"Stunning ❤️," one fan wrote as another chimed in, "U am just beautiful and just so perfect in every way, it's just unreal @ariannyceleste x."

Another expressed, "You're forever wonderful @ariannyceleste Queen ????? #mywomancrushforever."

"You look amazing in your outfit ❤️?," one fan commented.

Newark's Prudential Center was packed with fans as they watched several amazing fights for UFC 288 last weekend. The main event, Aljamain Sterling vs. Henry Cejudo, was one of the best fights of the evening, as expected, as Sterling defeated Cejudo by a split decision, keeping his UFC bantamweight title.

After the fight, Sterling spoke to Megan Olivi, admitting, "[Cejudo] is tough. Even with his reach disadvantage, he made up for it with the kicks. I'm a harsh critic, man. Maybe it was better than I thought. I felt like I won but wanted to do it more dominantly. I don't know, maybe I'm just an over-achiever, kinda to a fault, I guess."

Arianny Celeste is best known for her time within the UFC as a ring girl. "I started modeling when I was 16, but I didn't work much because I lived in Las Vegas," she told Iron Man Magazine.

She made her UFC debut in 2006 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Paradise, Nevada, and won "2006 Ring Girl of the Year" by Fighter's Only Magazine. "In Vegas, most jobs required girls to be over 21. Also, I was rather shy. When I turned 21, I entered the 2006 Octagon Girl contest because I was a student and thought I could win money to help pay for tuition. I was surprised but super excited when I booked the job. As the UFC grew, I grew with them," she explained.

More recently, she stood up for herself and her fellow ring girls after UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov criticized the use of ring girls in the MMA Octagon.

Celeste clapped back at Nurmagomedov, saying, "I've worked over 15 years in this industry and learned it's easier just to DO NOT CARE. "For 15 years, we have been more than just ring girls – we have dedicated time to promoting UFC and showing love and time to our die-hard fans through touring the world and personal appearances. And while the world is very different, I can still feel that energy and love every time we have a show with an audience."

She continued to explain how her 15 years of hard work and dedication have led her to be "A bad a** independently wealthy female. A real estate investor and owner of not just 1 but 3 homes/properties, one located in LA -which is expensive AF, and a female who is not afraid to take risks and build for my future."
