From 2000-2006, PRIDE’s Japanese commentary team included a gorgeous model/actress named Eiko Koike, who famously broke into tears after Fedor Emelianenko kicked the crap out of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at PRIDE 25. (See the 9:01 mark of this video.) Was she a talented broadcaster? I have no idea. Have I spent the last hour searching for pictures of her on the Internet? Absolutely. Check out the gallery below for our favorite Eiko Koike photos, and curse the fact that us Westerners were stuck with these homely bastards.

Amy Markham is a 20-year-old model originally from Killeen, Texas, who recently dipped her toes in the MMA scene with a pictorial in MMA Unleashed magazine. (Thanks to BabesofMMA for the tip; that should go without saying by now.) Couple things about Amy: She’s half Korean, and grew up as an Army brat. She’s also into cars. Like, really into cars. When asked by AutoMotoFoto to describe her dream car, she replied:

“Just because I’m learning Autocross, E46 M3 with the HPF boost kit, upgraded HPF clutch, upgraded injectors – all the internal mods necessary for the boost (too lazy to list all engine mods…HPF sums it up), short throw shifter, Tein Flex Coilovers (body roll SUCKS in Autocross), Borla Cat Back Exhaust, Carbon Fiber hood and trunk for weight reduction, Brembo brake kit, Nittos, Ace Custom Steering Wheel, Strip the car out and add a roll cage, and I would need LOTS of tape for the front bumper because they don’t call me ‘Cone Killa’ for no reason! LOL”

Holy crap, I understood none of that. For more of Amy, visit her official website and her Facebook fan page — or, just check out our favorite Amy Markham photos in the gallery below…

Rachel Shine is an MMA model and ring girl (and psych major!) from Southern California who has put in work for Hitman Fight Gear and California Fight Syndicate, among many other non-MMA-related gigs.

Warning: It’s hard to do a Google search on this chick without running into some NSFW material. We’ve saved you the trouble and placed one clothing-optional shot at the end of the gallery.

Victory Fighting Championships 35 goes down tomorrow night at the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs, featuring Abe Wagner, Joe Ellenberger, and a rising women’s MMA prospect named Sarah McLeod. (Thanks to BabesofMMA for the tip.) A native of Vancouver, Sarah has compiled a 3-2-1 record as an amateur, and will be facing New Hampshire-based fighter Heather Lambert (3-0).

Though Sarah started her fight career without any formal training, she has been honing her skills at Mid-America Martial Arts in Omaha since the beginning of the year, and is looking to build on her current two-fight win streak.

Also, and not that this is important or anything, but Sarah McLeod just happens to be a model and bikini competitor in her spare time. She is “always” single, and loves a good mullet. Follow ‘TNT’ on Facebook, and check out some more of her photos below…

Jade Bryce is a 26-year-old model from Austin, Texas, who has been recruited as a ring girl for Bellator’s fourth season. At 5’3″, Jade describes herself as a “travel size model,” but there’s a big heart in that compact frame — she donates part of her modeling income to the socially conscious non-profit organizations CRASH and Invisible Children. You can get to know Jade better on Facebook, her Model Mayhem page, and her modeling blog. Lots more pics of Jade Bryce are after the jump — including a lovely set of NSFW images that we’ve placed on a separate page for your safety.

While perusing MMA Worldwide’s latest issue, I came across the lovely Sarah McDowd, an Anaheim-based model who picked up the magazine’s most recent "Ms. MMA Worldwide" title. Among her looooong list of credits, Sarah has shot for Affliction/Sinful, No Fear, RockStar Energy, pretty much every car magazine ever published, and was a "Maxim Hometown Hottie" semi-finalist last year. Personally, I dig her second-coming-of-Edith-Labelle vibe. Your thoughts? For lots more of Sarah, check her out on MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, ModelMayhem, and SwimwearModelWebsites.com. More photos and a few selected videos of Sarah are after the jump…

Speaking of professional hot chicks, Conquest MMA/Take a Nap Fight Gear has added the lovely Cali-Luv to their stable of models, which already includes hotties like Jenny P and Adree DeSanti. According to her Model Mayhem profile, Cali is an exotic mash-up of German, French, Scottish, and Native American ancestry who loves ice cream, classic rock, and the color pink; she does not like sweat ("icky"), seafood, or the IRS. To see a little more of Cali — as in, more than might be tolerated by the human resources department at your place of business — click here.

Props to "buggs mcmulligan" for turning us on to Penny Mathis/Jennifer Perez, an Internet model who has done stellar work for the MMA apparel companies Take a Nap Fight Gear and Hitman Fight Gear, among other brands. Be her friend at MySpace.com/ThatsJenny, and check out more pictures after the jump…
