I found it very interesting that women are being used to sell tickets to men sports. These women prance around in bikini for the simple viewing pleasure of the spectators. Her body is described as fit and sexy, her body image is very much liked and preferred. It made me wonder if men would still want her to pose for them as an Octagon Girl if she was much more muscular or if she was fit but not "physically attractive".

Should women be involve in this type of work? UFC is about mixed martial arts, but some how womens bodies were introduced to the sport and used a marketing tool. UFC is going to help her out financially for her fitness ideas, which is great. But it is obvious that they are using her for money. This woman's participation in Playboy is going to bring UFC fans up and people will soon tune in just to watch the Octagon/ Playboy beauty walk around the ring.
