UFC May Use Brazilian Models As Octagon Girls for ‘UFC Rio’ By Marcelo Alonso (malonso@sherdog.com) Thursday, December 23 9:00 am PT: After last week’s UFC press conference in Rio de Janeiro, I recorded an exclusive interview with Dana White for the Brazilian channel Premiere Combate. In the interview, the UFC president said that the promotion may use a local Octagon girl for the first time ever for next August’s “UFC Rio” in Brazil. “You have the sexiest girls on the planet. Of course, we’re seriously thinking about using a local girl in our Brazilian edition,” said White. |
Named the “Sexiest Woman in the World” by Brazil’s VIP Magazine, Salimeni -- or “Juju,” as she’s known to fans -- gained notoriety in Brazil as a dancer on the famous television program “Panico na TV.” (Imagine a Brazilian version of “Jackass.”) Thanks to the tremendous popularity of the Sunday program, Salimeni’s issue of Playboy became a nationwide best seller.
Unbeknownst to some, Salimeni was first discovered as a ring girl for Mo Team League, a Brazilian version of the International Fight League which ran for just three shows in 2007.
Brazilian fans’ second choice appears to be Salimeni’s partner on “Panico,” Barbara Rossi.
(The Staff at MMAMaxim.com say she should be the one!)
When in Ireland they should consider Georgia Salpa (our first Miss MMAMaxim):
