UFC octagon-girl Brittney Palmer graces February cover of Playboy

Speculations of her doing a nude pictorial with Playboy has been running for quite some time now — In an interview with Tapout Radio last year Palmer confirmed that she would be interested in posing for Playboy:

“At the end of the day … I’m a fucking ring girl,” she said “If they came to me and asked me … absolutely. But as of right now, I haven’t been asked, so I’m just chilling … They haven’t asked me but if they do, I will.”

With the cover all over the internet it’s confirmed that she will be doing an eight-page spread baring all for her supporters.

In an interview with MMAWeekly.com she spoke today about her reasonings behind doing Playboy:

“I take figure-drawing classes every day. Ninety-nine percent of the time there’s a nude model in your class – it’s beautiful and it’s art,” Palmer explained. “I really enjoy drawing nudes. I think women’s bodies are fantastic, and I work my ass off for my body. I have such appreciation for being in Playboy – it’s like being a model for an elite figure-drawing class.”
