Arianny Celeste: A Veteran In The UFC Spotlight

Celeste has been a staple of the UFC since 2006 when she made her debut as a ring girl during a fight night event. That same year, she was honored with the “Ring Girl of the Year” title by Fighter’s Only Magazine, kicking off a dominant run that saw her win the award four consecutive times at the World MMA Awards.

Her longevity in the sport is not only rare—it’s iconic. Over nearly two decades, she has become one of the most recognizable figures in MMA, right alongside the athletes she shares the spotlight with.

“I think people don’t really give us that much credit,” Celeste said in a 2023 interview. “It actually does take a lot of work and dedication.”

Discipline Behind The Glamour

Celeste has always been candid about the effort it takes to maintain her fitness and appearance for the job. Far from being a casual resolution, fitness is a core part of her lifestyle.

“Some people make a New Year’s resolution to go to the gym,” she explained. “But we go to the gym four to six times a week; it’s our job to look good. So obviously, we’re going to be killing it!”

That dedication has not only helped her remain a top ring girl for years but also carved out a path for a successful modeling career outside the cage.

In May 2010, she was named “The Hottest UFC Octagon Girl,” cementing her place in pop culture.

Her modeling success has continued to grow alongside her UFC work, making her a dual threat in the sports and fashion industries.

Whether she’s behind the scenes at a UFC event, on a high-fashion shoot, or simply enjoying some downtime poolside, she brings the same level of intensity and polish.
