Fighters (rightfully) get all the attention in the UFC. However, organizing events of the size the UFC does is a considerable managerial and organizational exercise. All the moving parts from the lighting, music, and sound to security and parking have to work like clockwork.

And one important part of the whole setup is the ring girls. Although one of the few visible parts of the UFC machine, little is known about them. Long-time UFC ring girl Brittney Palmer has taken another step in her artistic journey with Jon Jones behind her.
