Arianny Celeste recently took to Instagram with a collage of pictures capturing some of her most treasured moments. They featured snaps with fellow ex-octagon girl Brittney Palmer, her pet dog, her young son, and more. To little surprise, her post drew a wave of reactions from friends, family, and fans alike.
This isn't the first time Celeste has attracted tremendous support in her comment section. In fact, her social media presence has consistently exhibited a high number of engagement, even more-so than some UFC fighters, past and present. This has remained a constant for her even in retirement.

When did Arianny Celeste part ways with the UFC?
Arianny Celeste had been with the UFC since 2006, when the promotion was nowhere near the financial heights it would eventually reach. She took on various roles throughout the years, including hosting a web show called 'UFC Ultimate Fighter,' and of course, being an octagon girl/ring girl.
After 18 years with the company, Celeste retired as an octagon girl in 2024 to pursue other endeavors. She worked her final event at UFC 296, when Leon Edwards defended his then welterweight title against Colby Covington.
