Logan Stanton

So there I am at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone after UFC 106, relaxing, enjoying some adult beverages, when the Raw Vegas producer comes up to me and asks if I'll interview UFC Octagon girls Natasha Wicks and Logan Stanton.  Because I'm a sucker, I said yes.  Some interesting things I learned:

- The consensus opinion among the Octagon girls is that Josh Koscheck is a total faker.  This does not seem to have endeared him to them.

- All three of the girls aren't necessarily the best of friends.  Logan wouldn't say who the outsider is, but let's just say that all of the girls were supposed to be at this party and only two came.

- You don't appreciate what Dave Farra does until you have to try and do it yourself.  Then you just hate him even more.

Candid, self-shot tweetphotos are nice and all, but sometimes you just need the touch of a professional photographer. The UFC recently released a new batch of high-quality Octagon Girl photos for your viewing pleasure, and they're just the thing to get you through another miserable hump-day. Lots more pics after the jump; you can see the rest right here.

MMA Fanhouse has confirmed that Edith Labelle — you know, the large-chested Octagon Girl who's not Arianny or Logan — won't be holding round cards and blowing kisses to the camera during UFC broadcasts anymore. Her manager was quoted as saying "Something happened, but at this time, I can only confirm that Edith no longer works for the UFC." Considering the rumors that swirled around Amber Nichole Miller's departure, that "something" could be nothing, or that something could be something; feel free to speculate wildly in the comments section below. Edith will be officially replaced by Maxim Octagon Girl Search winner Natasha Wicks at UFC 101 tomorrow night in Philadelphia.

If all the fighter appearances, Hall of Fame inductions, grappling superfights, and Kimbo sightings aren't enough of an incentive to check out the UFC Fan Expo (July 10+11, Mandalay Convention Center, Las Vegas), maybe this will convince you. From UFC.com:
