Arianny Celeste: Ronda Rousey is 'a big bully'

UFC Octagon Girl Arianny Celeste has a well-documented feud with women's bantamweight overlord Ronda Rousey, with the champion initially taking some shots at Celeste after they were both named to Maxim's Hot 100 list in 2012.

"It would have been really funny if I'd beaten Arianny Celeste, because that would be like a triathlete coming along and beating the runners in a marathon,” Rousey said, according to MMAjunkie.com. "Like, 'Ha-ha, it's your job to show your t--s - I do that better than you!' Maybe next year. She’s only getting older, and I'm reaching my prime."

The two women have exchanged little swipes in the media ever since, with Rousey recently bemoaning the fact that the Octagon Girls make more money than some of the female fighters.

"I'm not going to talk about her because I'm not a fighter," Celeste said. "I'm not going to waste my time. I actually don't talk about anyone. It blows my mind that someone who doesn't even know me continuously picks on me. And that's all I see her as: a big bully."

Although Celeste isn't engaged in the physically violent aspects of the UFC, she wants fans and fighters to know that she has a very difficult job:

I think people don't realize how much work it is to be a model, be a host, be an Octagon Girl. Not only are you walking around in a bathing suit where people are critiquing you for that, but try having a camera in your face and showing your personality and being a host of a TV show. Trying being like a live mannequin and having clients put you in a million different outfits, and you're wanting to go home, but you're not able to because you have 50 different more outfits. It's not as easy as it looks or seems to be in my shoes. And not a lot of people would know that unless they were in my shoes.

I'm tired of the bullying, and I'm not going to let it happen to me or any of the other Octagon Girls.
