Ring Girls

Now that we've seen Gina Carano's semi-nudity on the cover of ESPN The Magazine's inaugural "Body Issue" (which hits newsstands on Friday, btw), it's time to take a look at the photos inside. Two more shots have leaked — this sultry photo of Gina posing in her normal workout attire of sports bra, heavy eye-makeup, and hot-shorts, and the picture after the jump of Randy Couture's beloved cauliflower ear. (Warning: It's not quite as sexy.) More naked athletes can be seen here.

Speaking of Gina, director Steven Soderbergh — who cast Carano in the lead role of his next flick, Knockout — had this to say in a recent interview with Empire:

(Tell me you're not getting on that thing without a helmet. Unsafe, Natasha.)

This month's Fight Magazine girl is none other than UFC Octagon girl Natasha Wicks.  There's also a picture of Fedor Emelianenko on the cover and an article about him penned by redheaded raconteur and friend of the Potato, Neal Taflinger, but because there is a disturbing lack of boobs in those pictures we just skimmed through the article.  We assume it was great, though.  Among the things we learn about Natasha in her interview with Fight:

- She was homeschooled until high school (uh-oh)
- She got a track scholarship to Northern Arizona University, but left to join a "missionary-type program that helps disaster victims."
- She loves to laugh (and aren't we all sick of those chicks who hate laughter?)
- She's single, but wants someone with "the initiative to go out and do stuff and take life by the handles" (dammit, life has handles? and after we've wasted so much time looking for the horns)

As you probably guessed, there are plenty more pictures of Natasha in various states of near-nudity in the magazine.  Check it out.  If Taflinger asks, tell him we said you should buy it because of his Fedor article.

Aby Rulloda is a San Francisco-based go-go-dancer, model, clothing designer, and former Strikeforce ring girl. And oh yeah, she's also a competitive kickboxer who trains with World Team USA and previously won WCSC's California State Super Flyweight Championship. Now that's hustle. You can get to know Aby better at MySpace.com/badaby and Twitter.com/badaby. After the jump: Lots more pictures, plus a video of Aby working the pole.

In our continuing effort to help you procure the services of UFC ring girls, we'd like to direct your attention to Club Supershoot, a Colorado-based company that teaches aspiring photographers the art and science of shooting hot chicks. During their SuperShoot workshops, they bring in semi-famous models for their students to photograph; in April, they hosted fine-as-hell Playboy model Carlotta Champagne, and next month they're pleased to present former Octagon Girl Ali Sonoma:

Being a part of the full two-day shoot on October 3rd and 4th will set you back $449.95, but you can commit to just one day for $325.95. So if you're a big Ali fan and don't mind traveling to Colorado, here's your chance to get up close and personal. I guess some photography experience is also a prerequisite, but you could always pretend that you're an eccentric artist who will only shoot with a Canon Powershot. Now we just have to find out what Arianny Celeste and Logan Stanton will do for $400. Our guesses: Bikini boat companionship and babysitting.

A few weeks ago we were a little surprised to learn that UFC Octagon girl Natasha Wicks has a side job as a caddy at a Las Vegas golf course.  Not that it would be the worst job one of the UFC's professional hot chicks ever held, it just seemed a little strange.  Well, those clever wags at Fightlinker located the website where you can go to rent Natasha's services on the links (for $400), and wouldn't you know it, there are plenty of photos of her that perfectly straddle the line between sexy and ridiculous, which is just how we like our women.  For example, the above image proves that she can pretend to like you as she laughs at your stupid jokes and uses hand gestures to keep you from noticing the lack of sincerity in her eyes.  In the business, that little move is known as 'The Scarlett O'Hara.'

After the jump, she demonstrates why you probably shouldn't hire her if you take your golf really seriously.  Or if you're bringing your wife along.  Of course, if Natasha isn't your type you can also get former Penthouse Pet Erica Ellyson (totally NSFW).
