You know who I'm talking about, right? Those pretty, scantily clad girls who walk around the ring during the fight and hold up the signs.
Yeah, those ones.
Well there were three of them at Providencia. And they were pretty and fairly scantily clad compared to me.
They were also very nice and very accommodating to the people who all wanted photos with them. Don't get me wrong - they play up their attributes as they're meant to do - but they were also much nicer and seemed more normal than I would've ever expected.

One of the girls in attendance was Jhenny Andrade. Per the Octagon Girls' website (yes, there is one), Jhenny is one of the most beautiful ring girls in the UFC. Her biography from the website:
An artist since she was a child, the beauty started to shine at 6 years old. Doubling as a Brazilian presenter in Brazil, she was such a big success in Ribeirão Preto that she presented for a local show for kids.
This was just the first round in Jhenny’s life. After that there were fashion shows, lingerie photo shoots for famous brands, TV commercials and much more.
When she was 18 she decided to move to São Paulo. The dream of the big city was scary but also exciting.
In São Paulo, Jhenny got an invitation to write for VIP magazine, one of the most prestigious men’s magazine in the country.
In her column named – The Perfect Girlfriend – she told experiences of how men saw the perfect woman. Jhenny learned to make barbecue, change an electric shower, and play soccer.
The success of her column was so big that it lasted for 6 and a half years and was the third most read section of the magazine.
With all that it was time to wear the UFC belt. Jhenny was picked to be part of the octagon girls team. As she says herself, “in the beginning it was all new and different. Today I am part of the delicious adrenaline and I am in love with fighting.”

Before we arrived, Jimmy was pretty adamant that he wasn't going to take his photo with an Octagon Girl because he didn't want it to show up somewhere and make the wrong impression. Well the girls wanted their pictures taken individually with him. And one of them showed up on Jhenny's Instagram page and named Jimmy by name in the comment section. Joke's on him!
Let's play a little game I like to call "Find the Diplomat". Ready, set, go!
