There are some hot topics surrounding the sport of mixed martial arts nowadays: Is neo-footwork a revolutionary trend or a quick fad? Will Jon Jones claim his title back against Daniel Cormier? Will Ronda Rousey ever fight again? Among the UFC fighters, who have dated an Octagon girl?
Well, if you too are seeking an answer to the last question then you’ve come to the right place. When you put testosterone-fueled fighters and some of the most gorgeous women on Earth in the same place romantic interactions are bound to happen. The surprising thing is that some of the following list’s entries might shock you. So, who is the most unlikely UFC fighter/Octagon girl pair ever? Read on to find out!
5) Josh Burkman and Arianny Celeste
Let’s let Burkman himself tell us about the time he laid eyes on the beautiful Celeste as he was actually fighting and defending a rear-naked choke in a bout with Chad Reiner at a UFC Fight Night event in January of 2007: I saw her and I thought to myself, ‘I can’t let myself get choked out in front of her. I had to figure something to do.
He’d go on to win the bout and started dating the Octagon Girl a few weeks later. They have broken up since then.
4) Tito Ortiz and Amber Miller
It seems like UFC Hall-of-Famer Tito Ortiz has a soft spot for blondes. After having dated former porn-star Jenna Jameson for several years, he set his interest on former Octagon Girl Amber Nichole Miller, and the two are still dating to this day.
3) Diego Sanchez and Ali Sonoma
Fan favorite Diego Sanchez dated former Octagon girl Ali Sonoma at a point. The fighter and the stunning blonde actually dated for two years before Sanchez decided to put an end to the relationship in order to focus on his UFC career. Choices, man. Choices.
2) Tiki Ghosn and Arianny Celeste
Arianny Celeste makes the list again! She used to date former UFC fighter Tiki Ghosn; given that Celeste is so stunning that she could charm virtually every man on Earth by merely standing still, it comes off as a bit of a surprise that she went for Ghosn. I’m not dissing the guy by the way, as he proved even bald-headed fellows might have a chance with Celeste!
1) Donald Cerrone and Brittney Palmer
Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone is a man of opportunities. He never turns down a fight, and that’s why he is the most active fighter on the UFC roster, and very respected by the fans. Well, when Cerrone had the opportunity to engage in a romantic relationship with the gorgeous Brittney Palmer, you betcha he didn’t turn it down either.
The two of them dated when they were working for the now-defunct WEC promotion, but their relationship has ended since then. Ah, at least Cerrone has still a successful UFC career going for him!
