Arianny Celeste is one of the most prolific professional hot chicks of our generation. Just a week after her lovely shoot for EGO, the UFC’s alpha ring girl returns in an even sexier set for Zoo magazine. (Props to TerezOwens for the find.) Check out more great pics from the shoot below, and if you’ll be in Chicago for the fights this week, say hi to Ms. Celeste at the Fight Chix Pre-Party at Proof Chicago!

(The staph infection threat-level has been raised to orange.)

Brazilian entertainment outlet EGO just published a massive shoot with UFC ring girls Arianny Celeste and Chandella Powell for their “Paparazzo” section — which is especially hot if you’re into hand-wraps and heavy bags. Check out some highlights in the gallery after the jump, and go here to see the rest.

We’ve seen some bad, bad MMA fan art in our time. (Like, really bad.) So it came as a relief when we recently stumbled upon MMAFanMade, a tumblr account that showcases the best MMA-themed art and artists on the Internet. We decided to cherry-pick some of the site’s highlights, mix in a few old classics, and put ‘em all together in the gallery after the jump. Check it out below, and if you’ve done any MMA-themed artwork yourself, please share links in the comments section. We promise that our criticism will be mostly constructive.

Since we introduced you to Pacific Xtreme Combat ring girl Abby Poblador last week, we figured we’d show some love to her half-Filipina partner in crime. Ayumi Sogawa is a 21-year-old model and graphic designer from Quezon City, Philippines, who also holds round cards for the PXC promotion. She believes that God is an alien or something like that, and she’s not afraid of blood-play. Get to know her better on Facebook, and check out more of our favorite Ayumi Sogawa photos below…

Thanks to BabesofMMA.com for introducing us to Shannon Ihrke, a 23-year-old model who made her MMA ring girl debut at ProElite: Big Guns earlier this month, and will be appearing at the King of the Cage “Winter Warriors” event in her hometown of Walker, Minnesota, on December 10th. Much more importantly, she’s been enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps for the last four years, and currently holds the rank of Sergeant E-5, which means you should salute every time you see her. (Ed. note: Don’t actually do that.)

A couple important things to know about UFC ring girl Brittney Palmer: Her glorious return to the Octagon could happen as early as UFC 140 on December 10th, according to a new report. Also, her red-hot 2012 calendar is available now, and Brittney is selling autographed copies for $26 on her website. Browse through a few of the calendar highlights in the gallery below, and let The Hottest Woman in MMA know how you feel @BrittneyPalmer.

For the record, our new obsession with Ronda Rousey is completely healthy, and is based mostly on our deep respect for the art of judo. Also, she’s really hot. Just figured we’d throw that out there.

After the undefeated Strikeforce featherweight increased her pro record to 4-0 last Friday — with all her wins coming via armbar in less than a minute — the 24-year-old California native announced her intention to drop to 135 pounds and challenge the top names in the division, Sarah Kaufman and Miesha Tate. (Meanwhile, a dorsal fin circles out in the distance.)

The point is, you might be seeing a lot more of Ms. Rousey, in high-profile fights that would push her skills to their limits. In the meantime, check out our favorite Ronda Rousey photos in the gallery below. Enjoy, and show Ronda you care on twitter @RondaRousey.

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.

(You can make fun of your opponent’s voice, and you can trash his fighting style. But mock a man’s sideburns, and you’re asking for the worst beating of your life.)

Start sharpening your razors, folks: We’re just eight days away from the official start of Movember! To help get you in the moustache-growing spirit, we’ve put together a photo gallery of our favorite facial hair arrangements in MMA history, which you can check out after the jump.

We haven’t seen much from 2011 Hottest Women in MMA Grand Prix winner Brittney Palmer since she mysteriously disappeared from the UFC Octagon Girl rotation earlier this year. But according to a new feature in Fitness Gurls magazine — no, we’ve never heard of it either — Brittney is happily living and surfing in California, and recently finished a summer semester at art school. She tells FG about her art aspirations and new clothing line, and then there’s this little bit:

Q: I hear you’re coming back to the UFC one day, is that true?
A: I never left the UFC. Haha. UFC and I…I’ve been with the company for a really long time and we have a great relationship. I moved here and wanted to focus on art and they wanted to go in another direction for ring girls so it kinda happened at a good time. But it was never a situation of letting me go or me quitting. So the rumormill flies, but I’m still with the company…just taking a little time off to focus on art.

More photos from Brittney’s Fitness Gurls cover shoot are below; visit fitnessgurls.com for more, and show Ms. Palmer some love @brittneypalmer.

Laura Moro is a 22-year-old model from Shreveport who holds round-cards for the Louisiana-based amateur MMA promotion Ring Rulers. She seems to have a calming effect on wild animals.

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…

A 5’1 ball of solid muscle, Rin Nakai isn’t the first woman you’d expect to become an MMA sex symbol. And yet Nakai has become an object of fetishistic interest in her native Japan due to the risqué photos that she regularly posts to her blog. The 24-year-old judoka has racked up a 10-0-1 professional record (seven wins via stoppage) as a 145-pounder, competing in Pancrase, Smackgirl, and Valkyrie, and was crowned the Valkyrie Open Weight Women’s Tournament champion last November. Check out our gallery of Rin Nakai photos below, and let us know in the comments section — would you or wouldn’t you?

Since we featured Ashley Bradley earlier this week, we figured it’s only fair to give some Hot Potato love to Strikeforce’s other brand-new ring girl prospect. Jordan Daniele is a full-time model from Pittsburgh whose magazine credits include Vogue Italia, Transworld Motocross, and Strip Las Vegas Magazine. She wants to rape Jordan Mein, I guess. You can see a lot more of Jordan Daniele on ModelMayhem, Facebook, and Twitter. Our 13 favorite photos of her are below; careful, the ones near the end are semi-NSFW.

Enjoy, and please show Nick some love on Facebook and Twitter.

Born and raised in Oahu, Hawaii, model Suzanne Nakata now makes her home in Las Vegas, and was recently selected as a Superior Cage Combat ring girl. (Thanks to BabesofMMA for the tip.) The UC Davis psychology grad and “Sexiest Server” finalist is of Japanese, French, Chinese, and Vietnamese descent — or what she likes to call a “confused Asian.” Suzanne was once quoted in a news story titled “Las Vegas Strippers May Influence Global Nuclear-Waste Policy,” though she makes it clear in the piece that she doesn’t work nude because she might run for office one day. Well, you’ve got our vote!

Follow Suzanne Nakata on Twitter, and check out more of her photos in the gallery below…
