Octagon Girl Brittney Palmer Still With the UFC
↵Octagon girl Brittney Palmer is no longer with the UFC. No public reason has been given for the departure of the former WEC cage girl.
↵
Palmer joined the UFC when the WEC was shuttered and along with Urijah Faber proved to be the most popular import from that promotion.
↵Palmer tweeted in response to being let go:
↵↵Thanks for all the good luck wishes! I’m figuring it all out. Life is full of surprises. This will definitely keep me grounded. Over and out
↵↵Palmer had become quite popular with fans in her short tenure and received some publicity for her artistic endeavors. Deadspin reviewed her work and didn’t pull any punches.
↵
Palmer is not the first Octagon girl to be released with short notice. Edith Labelle was cut for missing UFC 100. Natasha Wicks and Logan Stanton were let go simultaneously a few months later, shortly after criticizing UFC fighter Josh Koscheck in an interview.
↵Arianny Celeste, Rachelle Leah, and Chandella Powell remain the promotion’s cage side attractions.
↵UFC President Dana White took to Twitter and denied that the UFC released Palmer:
↵↵we didn’t get rid of @brittneypalmer so quit listening to hack websites and f***in relax.
↵↵Now Palmer’s profile has been restored at the UFC.com web site, is it possible White responded to the outcry from fans in Palmer’s favor?
