Edith Labelle Out as UFC Octagon Girl, Newcomer Natasha Wicks To Debut at UFC 101 (updated)
Edith Labelle is out as one of the UFC’s Octagon Girls, replaced by Natasha Wicks (pictured), who won the Octagon Girl search at UFC 100 last month.
“Something happened,” Labelle’s manager James Leinhos told Fanhouse of his client’s departure from the UFC on Friday, “but at this time, I can only confirm that Edith no longer works for the UFC.”
Fanhouse also passes along this interesting bit of info:
Leinhos would not confirm if Labelle was fired or quit. However, it’s interesting to note that she was present at the UFC 100 weigh-ins, yet absent from the actual event the next day.
Those who worry about these kinds of things believed that the reason behind that decision was simply due to the fact that former Playboy model, Holly Madison, served as an honorary UFC 100 Octagon girl, but apparently something else happened during those 24 hours, leading to Labelle’s tenure as an Octagon girl coming to an end.
Wicks, who joins Arianny Celeste and Logan Stanton on the Octagon Girl roster, will be making her debut this weekend in Philadelphia at UFC 101.
Update: According to Fighters Only, Labelle was released after calling in sick for UFC 100 as the UFC believed she was simply too hung over to work the event:
But Fighters Only has been given to understand that LaBelle landed in hot water after phoning the UFC on the morning of UFC 100 and telling them she was too ill to work the event that night.
The UFC apparently disputed that and claimed she was hungover from partying in Las Vegas the night before.
As a result, she was dismissed with immediate effect, which is why viewers did not see her working the Octagon at UFC 100.

Release the hounds.
maybe she got pregnant? maybe one of her “enhancements” malfunctioned. i wonder what happened.
I think they could have found a better chick then her. Pry cause she’s a blonde. I mean she barely has abs lol.
turk, shut up
She’s not that cute BUD!
your an idiot!
turk ur an an idiot an oficcial idiot
I for one thought edith was pretty sweet but i think natasha will blend in better with the rest of the girls. Rachelle leigh is my fav though.
I wonder which fighter knocked her up.
If we’re taking bets I’ll lay a hundo on GSP…
Well if we’re putting money on it, i’d put 20$ on machida! She’s probably into that nasty $hit machida’s into!
it would’ve been Fedor… but I hear she didn’t want to be shared w/ M-1 either… couldn’t resist…
You win at sarcasm.
I have to admit, I’m more of a Logan guy myself…
Wish it was me. I can handle some huge FAKE tit$.
As long as Arianny is still there it’s all good.
Like most issues, I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t about money.
Maybe LaBelle wanted to pursue other opportunities, and Zuffa would have been somehow entitled to a piece?
I remember when the UFC kicked aging Octagon girl Amber Miller to the curb, and a month or two later she was back doing trade shows and corporate events in the Vegas area.
She would tell anyone willing to listen that she “left” the UFC of her own volition, because she didn’t want to kick back to them for other gigs she took, and not because she got canned because it was uh-oh 30 for her, which is the kiss of death for Vegas girls in the skin trade line of work…
just throwing this out there, but i think gsp will get the first crack with natasha. for some reason i get the idea she will be drooling over the greatness when she sees him for the first time in person. gsp will then seal the deal with some smooth french-canadian talk and bada-bing we will be looking for a new octagon girl in a few months.
i say karo will try and talk to her, she’ll hella reject him and he’ll say “do you know who i am”? LOL
Ya and she will be like “ya your the guy who has never fought for a title or beat anybody thats that good, yet still walks around like hes a future Hall of Famer. Got suspended for pain killers havnt seen definition since you last looked in a dictionary, and got your tooth knocked out by a guy you thought wasnt in your league, ya i know you”
All she has to do is watch him and his flying junk in those shorts to realize he is where it’s at.

you talking to me turk?
p.s who the hell are you anyway dude?!?!
Yea, I was don’t start none won’t be none. You started talking trash in the first place.
An a new-bee wants to jump on your bandwagon. So I reply accordingly.
Who are you tough guy??????????
Yo “turk”, i never said anything about you hence the “who the hell are you anyway dude”, so do yourself a favor, scroll back up, and see that i don’t even know, nor do i care who you are.
Also, i’ve just approved your membership to my fan club!
“don’t start none, won’t be none”??? Sorry dude, i’m certain i don’t know who you are. Don’t know anyone who talks like that. Sorry “dawg”
It’s all gravy. I don’t have time to make friends on here. It’s all about MMA for me so I’m
sorry I said your dream girl wasn’t that good looking. I never said I wouldn’t bang her. Have a nice night “dawg”.
My bad Jazz,
I meant what I said about Gunslinger Or Gayslinger. He was the one talkin $hit. MY apologies. I feel like a big A$$
what was that dude, turk your nothing but a keyboard warrior…man if you have something to say you can say it straight to me instead of trying to hide it at the bottom of a thread!….oh ya and gayslinger really creative there dude that was spectacular…im sure everyone on here is laughing out of there computer chairs right now…good try bud!….really be more creative….and first of all i wasnt talking crap i was simply telling you to shut up for saying this ” I mean she barely has abs lol.” that was a idiotic thing to say, and i really dont know why you would say that, because im 100% sure you dont have abs and you dont need to judge a girl because of that…you are whats wrong with guys these days, you expect girls to be perfect for you but you probably dont even have a girl friend because your to shallow…keep an open mind dude…its not all about looks, its more about interests and what the girl as a person is like…beauty is much brighter on the inside than the outside…….and please dont bother comenting back because itll probably be something stupid about how you bone a billion chicks and how you have rock hard abs and youll probably say i can rock your socks gayslinger or something dumb like that …please dude just think before you type…..and dont call mitch a “new bee” because really dude even if he is a new bee i respect him a whole lot more than right now…ive been here since day one of this website, ive watched it go through many diffferent posters and many diffferent changes, ive earned my keep you havent earned my respect yet and probably will never earn it..that is all good sir
Aaaaaaaaaand Stilll!!
The MMAFrenZy..Heavyweight..Champion..ooof..the world.
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun Sling errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Way to tell him Gunslinger, and much respect. I have no idea what kind of real lady would find Turk’s attitude attractive. We should enjoy women for all their attributes, not just the physical. Frankly, the lovely Arianny is quite enough; I fail to see the need for a stable of Octogon Girls. Anyway, that’s my .02…
turk dont start anything with anyone on here. thats not the kind of website the frenzy is. if you want to go have a trash talking war go to sherdog or some other crappy site not this one.
and i promise you, you dont want to start anything with gun. he is a future ufc fighter/champ. im sure you dont have the ball$ to try mma and get into a sparring session with anyone. you might act tough, but i doubt you are. dont come starting anything with any of the guys on here. grow up kid. dont start any kind of war of the words with me either kid.
Lets kill the argument fellas. I’ll be moderating Turk’s post for the time being to make sure everything’s in line, but lets cut it out.
I edited some comments, too. Before I saw this.
Kris I love it when you come into a thread and shut all the jibber jabber up. It reminds me of when my parents would come into the room and scold me and my brother for fighting.
LOL.
Jeez enough with all the hate and lets enjoy the new ring girl. So which ring girl got the boot? The one with the big boobs or the smaller, but still magnificent boobs?
she’ll still on the UFC game tho lol
Yeah, but if you find yourself licking the screen over her octagon shading and pixelated hips….
still be*
@bfree, edith got the boot. shes the one that always wore red and had the fake ones. i assume by smaller, yet magnificient you are referring to arianny. the one in the blue with the nice ones? theres two in blue, arianny and logan. logan has smaller boobs, but a better lower body imo.
