Fans have been flocking to the message boards and twitter questioning and begging for Brittney Palmer to come back to the UFC. Dana White said that she was never gone, that she was just pursuing her art career. Dana White sent out a tweet a few weeks ago asking fans if they wanted to see the fan favourite octagon girl back in the UFC.
It didn’t take long for fans to respond and Dana gave them their wish.
As explained earlier Palmer was never released from the organization, she decided to take a leave and pursue her passion, art. She attended art school in California and took a step back from her duties as Octagon Girl.
This past week Palmer was on MMAWeekly Radio and told Damon Martin and her fans how flattered she was by the response.
It was just as a shock to me as it was to everyone. I just woke up to a couple thousand new followers, and all these things and I’m like where is this coming from? Then I saw Dana’s tweet and I was just like hell yeah, rock and roll,I’m so excited and so stoked to be back, but I never really went anywhere. I was just kind of taking a break to go to school, and I just didn’t have time to start school and take every class seriously and travel, so I knew I’d be back, I just wasn’t exactly sure when. I guess sooner than later.
The return date for this fan favourite is not set in stone, but she revealed that she will be in Toronto for an Art Show already, so UFC 140 could be that date.
I don’t know, maybe the Toronto fight. Because I’ll be there anyway for my clothing line.
No matter when she the fans will be happy that their favourite Octagon Girl is back.
