Former UFC ring girl Brittney Palmer recently penned a birthday message for fellow former ring girl Arianny Celeste on Instagram. The pair are known for their close friendship, having worked together in the UFC for over a decade, during which they became relatively popular among fans.

The Instagram post is also notable for featuring an FHM magazine photoshoot they both took part in 11 years ago in London, England. As Palmer described in her post's caption, it marked one of her favorite trips with Celeste, a woman she considers her sister and best friend.

Palmer wrote:

"Happy birthday to my best friend and sister for life @ariannyceleste! We've shared so many amazing memories together. I'm so proud of the incredible woman and mother you've become. Can't wait to celebrate you today and always! Here's a little throwback—Arianny and I shot this FHM cover in London 11 years ago, and it was one one of our favorite trips!"

She praised Celeste, with whom she has snapped countless pictures, for being a mother and in general. Now that the two have ufc-ring-girl-brittney-palmer-announces-retirement-emotional-farewell" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-is-sponsored="false">parted ways with the UFC, they are plying their trade elsewhere in numerous industries. Brittney Palmer, for example, does more than just modeling.

She also co-hosts the UNLEASHED podcast under Monster Energy, occasionally hosting guests from the MMA world. One of the podcast's episodes even featured a bizarre moment involving UFC bantamweight Marlon 'Chito' Vera. The incident occurred when Palmer's co-host confused Vera for another fighter.

In this case, it was all-time great Bellator fighter Patrício 'Pitbull' Freire. Naturally, Vera expressed confusion over the case of mistaken identity but Brittney Palmer was quick to seize control of the conversation, directing it elsewhere and sparing her co-host from further embarrassment.
