However, this year also saw Brittney Palmer's debut on the list, at #40.
For the record, the #1 spot was taken by Sofia Vergara, the Modern Family wife of real life BJJ black belt Ed O'Neill.
Why is Arianny Celeste no. 68?
You could point to a lot of reasons for why UFC has taken off as one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. But as far as we're concerned, there's only one: Arianny Celeste. The popular Octagon Girl has appeared in Maxim, Sports Illustrated and on the cover of Playboy, making her one of MMA's most recognizable faces. And now that Celeste's as much of a pay-per-view draw (if not more) as many of the sport's biggest stars, we're betting this knockout ring girl could turn even Gandhi into a UFC fan.
"Thanks to everyone who voted. It's an honor to be one of the Top 99 Women, and I'm very happy to be a part of it."

Why is Brittney Palmer no. 40?
MMA is the fastest-growing sport in North America, and along with it comes an explosion of ring girls. Even during boxing's zenith, fans didn't know ring card models by name. Brittney Palmer and her UFC contemporaries have changed that. Charismatic, even when just strutting around the Octagon, Palmer looks like a classic pin-up model with girl-next-door charm. An artist by training, Palmer's free spirit in interviews immediately caught MMA fans' attention and taught them to love instead of just crave blood. What? Too much? No, seriously, she's that hot.
"It's awesome to be recognized, I'm amazed and super happy and thankful that everyone voted for me. I have the best fans in the world."

There are only handful of truly important questions in MMA. Will a fight ever be made between champions Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, and Georges St. Pierre? What rival has the potential to give the UFC a run? And of course, who is hotter, Arianny or Brittney?
