MMAcca Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Edith Labelle's days as a UFC ring girl are apparently over. In a bit of not-so-major news on the eve of Saturday's "UFC 101: Declaration" event in Philadelphia, Labelle's manager, James Leinhos, confirmed to AOL FanHouse that his client no longer works for the UFC. Her spot has been filled by new UFC ring girl Natasha Wicks, who won the gig during a contest last month at UFC 100. Wicks joins regular cageside eye candy Arianny Celeste and Logan Stanton at this weekend's event, which takes place at the Wachovia Center and airs on pay-per-view. Leinhos would not confirm whether Labelle quit or was fired from the gig. The Canadian-based model was noticeably absent from UFC 100 even though she was part of the UFC Fan Expo and fighter weigh-ins just 24 hours prior to fight night. Labelle's profile has since been removed from the UFC's official website. Labelle debuted with the UFC in late 2007 at UFC 78.

dushira Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Wow Edith had a "manager". Do you really need a manager to manage a ring girl career? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
