UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste was arrested today in Las Vegas on domestic battery charges.
Celeste, real name Arianny Lopez, was brought in to the Clark County Detention Center at around 7:30 this morning. She was released later on $3000 bond. Celeste has not commented on her arrest yet.
UFC president Dana White told TMZ :
“Arianny is our baby. She has been with us for over five years. She is a good girl and an amazing ambassador for UFC. I don’t know all the details of what happened but we have her back and support her 100%.”
MMA Weekly reports that Arianny Celeste has been a ring card girl with the UFC since 2006. The 26-year-old was scheduled to work tonight’s UFC 146 in Las Vegas but due to her recent arrest she will not be attending the event.
In addition to working with the UFC, Celeste, 26, has posed for Maxim, FHM, Sports Illustrated and Playboy.
Bleacher Report notes that Arianny is the second person connected to the UFC to run into legal trouble in the last few weeks. Light heavyweight champion Jon Jones was arrested for drunk driver earlier this month.
