Holly Madison, former star of The Girls Next Door and last season's participant on Dancing with the Stars, served as an honorary ring girl during UFC 100, which was held Saturday in Las Vegas and was deemed the biggest event in mixed martial arts history.
The former Girls Next Door star first hinted at the possibility on Twitter earlier last week, followed by Dana White's video blog in which Madison, wearing a ring girl uniform, is seen talking to White and getting tips for Saturday's event duties.
"It's been a dream of mine since becoming a fan of the UFC and watching the incredible athleticism of the fighters to do the honors of being an octagon girl for a night," Madison stated.
Madison, who was also
Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner's former number 1 girlfriend on
The Girls Next Door, worked with regular card girls Arianny Celeste, Edith Labelle and Logan Stanton at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
"UFC 100 marks the biggest event in the history of our company, so it's the perfect time to bring in the ultimate octagon girl, Holly Madison," UFC President Dana White stated. "Not only is Holly one of the world's most beautiful women, but she is a huge fan and supporter of the UFC, and we're looking forward to having her with us on July 11."

After starring on
The Girls Next Door with Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson, Madison joined the eighth season of
Dancing with the Stars where she was paired with professional dancer Dmitry Chaplin and became the third eliminated celebrity contestant on the show. At present, Madison is working on her own reality TV series about her life in Las Vegas.
