Though CagePotato launched in October 2007 with the tagline “MMA News, Gossip, and Girls,” lately our site has become “MMA News, Videos, The Occasional Insightful Interview, Videos, and Videos.” And we’re totally cool with that, but it’s good to revisit our scummy roots once in a while. Thus, we present our official list of the ten sexiest women to ever walk around cages while holding numbered cards. Feel free to debate the order in our comments section, but your arguments will most likely fall on deaf ears.

10. Christie Cartwright (WEC)

9. Rebecca Love (WFA, WEC)

8. Edith Labelle (UFC)

7. Laura Jones (Cage Rage)

6. Rachelle Leah (UFC)

Now that that’s out of the way, here are the best of the best…

Bonus: Pics of the Triumph United Girls after the jump.

Because it’s Friday and ain’t jack shit goin’ on, we’d like to present 2007′s EliteXC Ring Girl contest winner, Vanessa Wade. Be Vanessa’s bff at her MySpace page and on ProElite.com. And check out the vid below; there’s something very “Edith Labelle” about this one…

BodogFight‘s latest Bodog Girls photoset features two lovely models sort-of-but-not-really demonstrating a toe hold. Carlos Gracie is rolling in his grave right now — with an uncomfortable boner. Check out the rest of the set after the jump, and more photos and videos of the Bodog hotties here. Have at ‘em, gents.

Kyra_Gracie – see more hot chicks

Yes, the Gracie family does occasionally produce women. (We’re as surprised as you are.) In particular, Kyra Gracie — the 22-year-old granddaughter of Robson and niece of Renzo, Ralph, and the late Ryan — is talented enough to roll with her male relations, and foxy enough to be featured on Hot Potato. The first female Gracie to actively compete in jiu-jitsu, Kyra has won over 20 major grappling titles since 1998, including two Abu Dhabi championships and five wins at the Pan-American Games. Check out more photos of Kyra after the jump, and learn more about her at her official website.

(Would you rather have the girl or the car?)

Model and former UFC Octagon Girl Amber Nichole Miller is currently involved in a contest to be a cover-girl for 944 Magazine. We don’t quite understand it, but if you’re an Amber fan you should click here, sign up, and help her out with a vote. By the way, if you’re wondering why Amber decided to leave the UFC, there might be a scandalous story behind it. Drama! Check out more pics of Amber after the jump, and get to know her better at her MySpace page.

MMA Fight Girls came across this new photo of Ali Sonoma — looking hotter than ever — on the website of “boudoir” photographer Michael Rosen. Head to Rosen’s site for more sexy (and strange) stuff.

We’d also like to give MMA Fight Girls props for uncovering an ass-tastic set of ring girl photos (via the Bodog Blog) from the Extreme Fighting Challenge 5: Revolution event, which took place last November in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada. Shocking highlights after the jump.

Co-host Tiffany Fallon was the greatest knockout to ever be featured on IFL Battleground. Though the former Playboy Playmate of the Year may not be returning for the 2008 season, she’ll be appearing as a castmember on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice, which premieres tomorrow night at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT. Tune in to see if she can outlast Tito Ortiz with her business acumen.

Before you check out more pics of Tiffany after the jump, I’d just like to say that when I did a Google Image Search of her to put this post together, I had to sift through hundreds of naked photos of the woman in order to get these few sorta-clothed shots; this is still a family website, after all. I just hope you people appreciate the sacrifices I make for you.

UFC Octagon Girl Arianny Celeste would like you to know that her official site, missariannyceleste.com, has re-launched with never-before-seen modeling pics and candids. We’d like you to know that the pics on her MySpace page kick the ass of those on her official site. Why, just look at what we found during a few minutes of trawling…

Our homies at Complex just gave us the heads-up about their new photo shoot and interview with former Octagon Girl and current UFC All Access host Rachelle Leah. To see more pics from the shoot — and to find out where Rachelle would take a punch if she absolutely had to — click here. Or, feel free to gawk at some of our all-time favorite pics of Ms. Leah after the jump…

If you were bummed that Octagon Girl Ali Sonoma was M.I.A. during UFC 78, prepare to be even more bummed — the 23-year-old model has put down her ring cards for good. According to a blog entry on her MySpace page:

“I am no longer a ring girl for UFC…I am proud to say I am moving up to bigger and better things. There is always a time when you get comfortable at a job…you seem to lose focus on what your main goal is…I guess I got a little comfortable myself, of course, I loved the fights, loved the experience, but my real dream is to actually speak on camera, to act, not just shake my booty for the crowd. (even though it was a lot of fun while it lasted and I met some amazing people)”

This is truly a somber day. Let us celebrate Ali’s memory by gawking at some of her pictures, after the jump…

Okay, so she may not be a ring girl per se, but Patrycja Mikula — a model, Playboy.com Cybergirl, and the longtime girlfriend of Andrei Arlovski — was once a guest ring card girl for an IFL event in her adopted hometown of Chicago. Plus, she’s officially the hottest MMA fighter-girlfriend, now that Jenna Jameson looks like this. Enjoy the pics, and if you want to be Patrycja’s friend, visit her on MySpace.

“Don’t forget to watch Kimbo Slice tear some poor cracker apart on Showtime tomorrow night at 10 p.m. ET/PT!”

Will do, Tanya. By the way, you’re easily the hottest Jewish girl we’ve seen all week…

…from CagePotato’s #1-ranked Ring Girl, Arianny Celeste of the UFC.

Note: This greeting was not authorized by Arianny. Most likely, she doesn’t care about you or the quality of your weekend. You could spend the next two days hand-washing your sweaters and alphabetizing your dishes, for all she cares.
