Brittney Palmer is the cover girl for Playboy's March 2012 edition. (Playboy.com)
UFC Octagon Girl Brittney Palmer officially joins co-worker Arianny Celeste and former cagewalker Rachelle Leah to grace the pages and cover of Playboy, as her March 2012 appearance is set to hit the newsstands and interwebs this Friday.
The 24-year-old will be part of an eight-page layout with some additional photos also available on Playboy's website.
In a quote accompanied with a recent press release, Palmer said, "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. 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."
Palmer has gained some notoriety for being a self-taught artist and is currently enrolled at UCLA art school. She also was supposedly out of the UFC at one point in late-2011 but UFC President Dana White brought her back after doing some Twitter polling.
Below is the full cover and an additional promo shot. All photos are provided and posted with the full authorization of Playboy.

She is hot as fuck
but she has terrible tattoos.
sklart - February 15, 2012
Somehow I don't think that will be a problem for me
ElliotMatheny - February 15, 2012
Yes. I would catagorize that under "Don't give a fuck."
pud333 - February 15, 2012
complain about her pointy elbows
Now THATS a turn off, man..
Ricardo Arguello - February 15, 2012
This is the worst i've seen her look
Playboy has ruined her =(
Decado - February 15, 2012
this
what the hell happened
AnotherBadPrediction - February 15, 2012
Doesn't this happen to every chick that has been in playboy
The amount of photoshop they use kinda makes them look fake (faker in some cases)
IRodC - February 15, 2012
Damon O. - February 15, 2012
Oooooh the newest

I keed, I keed. I’m a Gimp guy, myself.
No, not that kind of gimp…it would be a total non sequitur.
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
agreed
her natural look is waaaaaay better then photoshopped looks.
Roark182 - February 15, 2012
They've horsed her up she looks like a female Reem
UncleMax - February 15, 2012
It is absolutely eerie how Playboy manages to make almost every girl that they shoot look exactly the same.
pud333 - February 15, 2012
how original can they get?
ass and boobs can only be done so many way
In Rainbows - February 15, 2012
I can do them lots of different ways…
BJJDenver - February 15, 2012
her face does look weird, too much photoshop
that being said, she is far from “ruined”. Still the hottest ring card girl IMO
darkotto23 - February 15, 2012
not sure if serious
Body Triangle - February 15, 2012
We have officially seen every current UFC ring girl's nipples.
pdl - February 15, 2012
the 2 girls they fired were better anyway.
Anton Tabuena - February 15, 2012
Truth.
Jeremy Couturier - February 15, 2012
Brittney’s way hotter than those two.
Tim Burke - February 15, 2012
…in your…humble…opinion.
…which is wrong… IMHO.
Diz D - February 15, 2012
Thanks…for…that…clarification?
Tim Burke - February 15, 2012
I’m here to help.
Diz D - February 15, 2012
very wrong...
Atomic Salmon - February 15, 2012
you like stick insects?
UncleMax - February 15, 2012 via Android app
the 2 girls they fired wereLogan was better anyways.kreally - February 15, 2012
We need a poll!
IRodC - February 15, 2012
Really? I don't recall Chandella's...
When’d that happen?
krcampbell - February 15, 2012
I heard about those this week
IRodC - February 15, 2012
Whaaa?
And I didn’t? What the fuck is this??
krcampbell - February 15, 2012
Google search “Mariah Ashton”
Snake_Pliskan - February 15, 2012
That...doesn't sound like a name I should be searching for at work.
krcampbell - February 15, 2012
No no its not
She has also done Playboy before. She works for them now as well.
Mjub - February 15, 2012
Those pics aren't playboy style.
First, they are a tad raunchier. But not by a wide margin.
Second, she’s not photo shopped to the point of being irrecognizable.
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
Very true
I saw them (lez/solo and the playboy) and they were much more risque and would definitely not be safe for work.
Mjub - February 15, 2012
Girl's gotta pay the bills, I guess.
I hop they don’t give her a hard time over this at Zuffa.
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
there's no way they don't already know
pics look old
Cunny - February 15, 2012
I found one!
jrobb20 - February 15, 2012
Be brave….go for it. As long as your IT dept. doesn’t block black bootay you should be fine.
Snake_Pliskan - February 15, 2012
That’s quite a… spread.
Diz D - February 15, 2012
I'm not gonna lie, and you guys will cause me crazy,
but I think Chandella is smokin hot naked. She’s not as horse faced as people make her out to be, and I think she has a dynamite body.
ElliotMatheny - February 15, 2012
she has a great body
she’s underrated, but doesn’t look like ring card girl material
Cunny - February 15, 2012
I think the UFC wants an ethnically diverse ring girl team.
Arianny is half asian and half latina, so she covers 2 bases.
ElliotMatheny - February 16, 2012
i don't think that reason cuts it though
i’ve dated cuter black girls with bodies on par with Chandella
There are so many gorgeous black women out there who could put her to shame with ease
as a black man i’m all for the diversity but they can do much better
Cunny - February 17, 2012
lol
Matthew Roth - February 15, 2012
Yeah, but I’d trade all those nipples for Natasha’s bare behind.
Diz D - February 15, 2012
She has a Big ol' bee hind.
IRodC - February 15, 2012
Infinite rec for life.
“Oooh, she has got a big ole’ behind! I mean, I’d like to slap some barbecue sauce on that big ol’ butt and just uh burr burr burr burr burrrr. OOwwwwooooo!!!!” – Champ Kind
HeadKickOfDoom - February 15, 2012
officially we haven’t seen hers yet. It says it comes out Friday. Better than the Sanchez Ellenberger fight
Robust23 - February 15, 2012
speak for yourself
Diz D - February 15, 2012
For those actually wanting to see the spread up your sleuthing skills cuz they are already on the internet
That being said and seeing them this morning it is rather disappointing. Playboy used the gym theme (surprising). It looks like they just phoned this one in thinking, “Oh she works in the UFC. Let’s do a gym shoot.”
Mjub - February 15, 2012
Thanks for nothing.
Chin Check - February 15, 2012

It should be on the front page still.
But still, you need to up your google-fu skills.
DiploMatt - February 15, 2012 via mobile
Thanks alot
Pretty meh photoshot, I was expecting a bit more effort on Playboys behalf to make her look sexier but they seemed to have dulled her looks down a bit :(
Chin Check - February 15, 2012
I personally like being able to comment on BE so I'm not risking a ban so you can jerk off in the basement
Mjub - February 15, 2012
Yea it took all of 2 mins to find the leaked pics
LRaunThaDamaja - February 15, 2012 via mobile
Hey mountaineers
The Lethal Haze - February 15, 2012
Baby Patton Oswalt?
RonSwanson - February 15, 2012
Internet high fives!
mountaineers101 - February 15, 2012
she's really pretty but
her carnie hands are freaking me the fuck out.
mollcutpurse - February 15, 2012
Look at the pointyness of her elbows
It’s scary
IRodC - February 15, 2012
Dear God,
Thank you!
Chin Check - February 15, 2012
Super Happy Fun Time!
pud333 - February 15, 2012
oh brother

Those tits..

In the words of Bart Scott....
rscott94 - February 15, 2012
Damn it....
“Can’t Wait!!!”
rscott94 - February 15, 2012
I’m guessing Cagepotato won’t leak them this time.
Tats16 - February 15, 2012
They'll get leaked.
They always do.
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
Didn't Playboy used to have real celebrities on its cover?
Seems like they use to feature legitimate actresses or other famous people instead of “that UFC ring girl, no not THAT UFC ring girl the other one. no not the black girl the other girl. yes, there’s a third one. no, not the one with all those bad paintings she got fired last year. no, that other one got fired too. no, not the plastic surgery-looking girl i think she was fired for being drunk or something…”
Trust Doesn't Rust - February 15, 2012
dat ass!
darkotto23 - February 15, 2012
I was about to post a 'DAT ASS' pic, but I ended up finding some wicked, fucked up shit...
I mean, I typed this in google: dat ass. Go down, like, five rows, and be fucking horrified.
I know this is the internet, but damn…
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
Yup it's cool tho
I didn’t wanna eat dinner anyway
Mjub - February 15, 2012
I did...
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
Pretty much nothing will make me lose my appetite.
pud333 - February 15, 2012
Soldier, cop, coroner, what?
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
Financial advisor.
haha.
pud333 - February 15, 2012
These days, I believe you.
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
I know exactly what you're talking about.
Same shit happened to me. Nobody’s searching ‘dat ass’ hoping to see that shit.
Honestly, if you’re reading this & you’re not Unabomberman, don’t even go see. The curiosity isn’t worth it.
The Hamburger Pimp - February 15, 2012 via mobile
Yeah.
The shitty part is that I do think I know where the pic came from.
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
4chan, man. 4chan.
Zachary Kater - February 16, 2012
I’m curious, but not curious enough to look and be horrified. Can you hint at what it is?
IImastersII - February 17, 2012
Anyone??
IImastersII - February 18, 2012
...is kinda overhyped, IMO.
It’s a fine ass. A mighty fine ass, even. But, cmon yo…its not like that.
Ali Sonoma had a nicer ass.
The Hamburger Pimp - February 15, 2012 via mobile
She had a different ass.
Both are lovely, though.
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
Ass.
Jonathan. - February 15, 2012
Just saw the photo spread. It’s really bad, like unflattering to her body. Honestly the worst I’ve seen her.
Jeremy Couturier - February 15, 2012
Blame photoshop, man.
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
it's not even that
just a bad photographer. Poor lighting and bad poses. Just unprofessional work. The SI Swinsuit cover ,however, is a case of turrible PS.
Jeremy Couturier - February 15, 2012
I always blame photoshop.
Especially when they botch a fit girl’s natural look because they completely smooth out the contours of her body and turn her into a quasi cylinder-looking entity, which seems just plain weird. I don’t even know how come that madness has caught on so hard.
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
One thing I hate about Playboy
Sports world = Gym themed shoot
They could have easily went w/ something more artistic given her background but they decided to take the safe route
Mjub - February 15, 2012
You already seen them?
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
Yeah they have been leaked
Mjub - February 15, 2012
Gotta google it BRB.
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
Shite, man...
Jeremy was right.
Though I don’t find them unflattering they are just not flattering at all. it’s as if somebody set their shit in neutral and then proceded to take pics of a beautiful girl after wetting her with fake sweat.
The ones on her calendar are much, much, much better made. And to think that she got her hand in making that stuff. She should’ve just taken the pics with that exact team that helped her put together the calendar so as to avoid the super generic ambiance.
Unabomberman - February 15, 2012
If there was anyone who could fuck this up it would be Playboy
and they succeeded
Mjub - February 15, 2012
Yeah I just saw the photos.
Terrible. I am disappoint.
pud333 - February 15, 2012
It’s a travesty and insult to pin up photography. OCCUPY PLAYBOY.
Jeremy Couturier - February 15, 2012
In this day and age why do people still care about Playboy..
tkotom - February 15, 2012
the articles
The Lethal Haze - February 15, 2012
Exactly. That's always been the reason.
Richard Wade - February 15, 2012
because the photos still end up leaking on the internet, so it's still relevant in that respect.
The Hamburger Pimp - February 16, 2012
I'm a way bigger fan of Brittney..
But Arianny’s shoot destroys this.
medium seen - February 15, 2012
It hurts to say but that is absolutely correct
Hopefully the outtakes and web exclusives that come out later will help redeem itself.
Mjub - February 15, 2012
Hear hear
Maybe Arianny has a line on Hef. “Make sure her shoot is low-budget and looks half as good as mine.”
medium seen - February 15, 2012
Yeah...
It’s like they didn’t know how to use Brittney…. It’s sad because she’s way hotter than Arianny
rscott94 - February 15, 2012
I was really expecting to have to ban people...
Richard Wade - February 15, 2012
Same here
I think I’ll ban Subo for the hell of it.
Damon O. - February 15, 2012
No! Don't ban Subo!Jonathan. - February 15, 2012
You can ban me if it'll make you happy.
Just have me back in time for the main card.
kreally - February 15, 2012
:D
Now all we need is Chandella and we’ll be all set.
kreally - February 15, 2012
Hah, she's naked on the internet.
You need to know where to look. And hers is a bit more, uh, raunchy.
Jonathan. - February 15, 2012
she did softcare?
In Rainbows - February 15, 2012
google mariah ashton
Cunny - February 15, 2012
anyone else type post
anyone else notice how off-center her eyes are?
In Rainbows - February 15, 2012
holy shit i do now!
weird.
Body Triangle - February 15, 2012
Congrats Playboy
You managed to create the worst Brittney Palmer pics to date.
phillyhoosfan - February 15, 2012 via Android app
she is an EXTREMELY beautiful woman
but damn her playboy pics don’t look that great. :
Bonedoctor - February 15, 2012
I concur with the general malaise
pics look manufactured and her face is the same in every photo
her right leg looks weird as fuck when she’s leaning against the bench thing too
how did they screw this up, they reveal flaws we didn’t know she had while hiding the positives we did know she had
Cunny - February 15, 2012
it's like the time some men's mag ran a shoot with that chick from mythbusters, she looked unappealing dolled up
UncleMax - February 15, 2012 via Android app
what the hell are you talking about?
i thought Kari Byron looked very hot in her FHM photo shoot.
darkotto23 - February 15, 2012
WORST.PICTURES.EVER
A sad sad day.

Fuck YOU.
thank you and good night.
flashlight cop - February 16, 2012
Damn it, i've been waiting months for this and this is what i get?
I officially nominate Playboy as an entry in this year’s tournament of bad.
