HOT PICS: Arianny Celeste Hints at a Second Playboy Feature Photo Spread
This airbrush\bejeweled design took over 2hrs to make on my back for my Playboy shoot. Cool huh?UFC Octagon Girl and November 2010 Playboy Covergirl Arianny Celeste hinted last week on Twitter that she may be gracing the pages of Playboy once again with her beauty.
The next big Mag I'm shooting for is FHM Australia. Sorry, no new Playboy feature...yet... ;)If I could only follow one person on Twitter, it'd most certainly be Arianny, who often posts pictures of herself in various states of dress and undress for her adoring Twitter followers. Here are a couple of pics Arianny recently Tweeted from a photo shoot:

XTREME FIGHT NIGHT 2 RESULTS: Gerald Harris Upset by James Head, Mike Budnik Chokes Out King of Late Night - 2/25/11
In the main event, recent UFC outcast Gerald "Hurricane" Harris suffered a surprising unanimous decision loss to James Head. Harris, who was cut loose from the UFC after a lackluster decision loss to Maiquel Falcao, had hoped to rebound in this fight against the relatively obscure Head. Instead, Head played the role of spoiler and has potentially earned himself the chance to fight in a major MMA organization for the first time in his career after more than 4 years in the sport.

G-FORCE FIGHTS: BAD BLOOD 5 RESULTS: Tony Lopez Submits Darrill Schoonover, Palomino and Franca Win - 2/26/11
In the main event, former simultaneous King of the Cage heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Tony "Kryptonite" Lopez submitted The Ultimate Fighter 10 quarterfinalist Darrill "The Boss" Schoonover. The former Army soldier Schoonover entered TUF 10 with a perfect 10-0 record, but has since lost 3 straight fights.
In the co-main event, Luis "Baboon" Palomino moved back up to lightweight from featherweight to knock out KOTC stand-out Daron Cruickshank. Former UFC title contender Hermes Franca ended a 5-fight winless streak with an armbar submission victory over the 0-2 Jorge Sarat. Before this fight, including his UFC Lightweight Championship loss to Sean Sherk, Franca was just 1-6-1 in his last 8 fights.
UFC 127 RESULTS: Jon Fitch and BJ Penn Fight to a Draw, Michael Bisping Loses His Cool But Still Wins - 2/26/11 in Australia
For the second time this year, a UFC main event ended in a draw. After 3 rounds, Jon Fitch vs B.J. Penn was ruled a majority draw. One judge scored the fight 29-28 in favor of Fitch and the other two judges scored the fight a 28-28 draw. It appears the two judges who ruled the fight a draw both scored the first 2 rounds 10-9 for Penn and the final round 10-8 for Fitch. While the second round arguably could've went either way, the first round clearly was Penn's. Fitch needed a dominant third round to tie or win the fight, and boy did he ever come through. According to FightMetric, Fitch landed 149 strikes in the third round, compared to just 2 (!) for Penn.
BAMMA 5 RESULTS: Paul Daley Blasts Yuya Shirai, Sets Up Title Fight with Nick Diaz in Strikeforce, Ricco Rodriguez Wins - 2/26/11
In the main event, Strikeforce welterweight number one contender Paul "Semtex" Daley returned to fight in the United Kingdom for the first time in almost 2 years. Semtex blew up Yuya Shirai with strikes and finished the fight in less than 2 minutes. Daley will likely next fight Nick Diaz for the Strikeforce Welterweight Championship.
In the co-main event, former UFC heavyweight champion and CELEBRITY REHAB WITH DR. DREW reality star Ricco "Suave" Rodriguez scored a unanimous decision victory over The Ultimate Fighter 11 participant James "The Hammer" McSweeney, who was fighting for the first time since being released from the UFC. McSweeney has now lost 3 straight fights, while Rodriguez increased his winning streak to an impressive 11 fights in a row. Rodriguez has been in negotiations to sign with Bellator, but a UFC return is certainly not out of the question given his career resurgence.
