First Look: UFC’s Rachelle Leah in Playboy (Photos)

UPDATE:
Rachelle Leah’s Playboy Photos Previews

After a lack luster year of featuring barely famous females, Playboy finally makes good on it’s monthly promise to provide nude photos of top celebrities. Next month, the once king of celebrity skin, will go back to it’s fame exchanging ways when they feature 24 year old UFC: All Access host Rachelle Leah completely naked.

UFC.com confirms,

“Rachelle Leah, the host of UFC® All Access™ has a secret and UFC.com readers will read it here first. The woman who many fans consider to be the Ultimate Female is confirming rumors she will appear on the cover of the November issue of Playboy! Inside you’ll be treated to a 10-page pictorial of UFC’s favorite girl who’s now all grown up! The former Octagon Girl™ turned show host looks fierce in what can only be described as…well, we guess you’re going to have to see for yourself.”

That’s one rear naked choke I can really get behind…

Rachelle Leah’s Playboy magazine is expected to hit shelves October 17th. Coincidently just a day before UFC 91 airs. An event UFC president Dana White has high hopes for, “UFC 91: Couture vs. Lesnar will be the highest grossing UFC pay-per-view event in history.”

The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s popularity has been on a skyrocketing pace since Spike TV debuted it’s reality show “The Ultimate Fighter” back in January 2005 to compete with the then dominant “WWE: Raw”’s time slot.

Now three years later, the UFC had become the king of Pay-Per-View sales, a title once controlled by World Wresting Entertainment. Dana hopes to continue this assault on everything “Sports Entertainment” when Rachelle graces the cover of Playboy, another area once dominated by WWE.

Probably the most noticeable and definitely most anticipated Playboy appearance so far this year has come from WWE Diva Maria Kanellis’s nude spread. A habit that has become a yearly tradition of WWE since 2004. However, now UFC is moving in on their once sacred turf.

With the migration of former WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar from the ropes and paddings of the WWE ring to the chain links and tarp of the UFC cage, and the publicity from their leading spokeswomen exposing herself inside the pages of November’s Playboy magazine, Dana hopes to solitary his position above the frailly wresting foundation.

Before Rachelle’s spread hits shelves in October be sure to watch UFC 89: Bisping Vs. Leben “Live and Free” on Wednesday, September 17 on Spike TV at 8pm ET.

   This is one Playboy shoot I am really looking forward to.

   An idea for Playboy, Dannii Minogue already said she would pose for Playboy again… instead of Playboy chasing women to do their first ever nude shoot (mostly 10 years after their careers have ended), why not ask celebrities that have done and have no problems with nudity to pose – such as Asia Argento, Heather Graham, Monica Bellucci, Sienna Miller, Naomi Watts.

   Seems a better bet that asking Jessica Alba for the tenth time if she wants to pose naked, or asking Debbie Gibson who’s been forgotten since 1985.

   I think this is the first Playboy shoot I’m actually looking forward to since Maria’s spectacular pictorial.

   I agree with you RobbyR. Playboy should definitely reach out to celebs like Heather and Monica who openly welcome nudity before they decide to convince some d-list actress to pose nude for her first time. This year especially has been filled with a bunch of disappointing covers (i.e. A Clothed Anna Faris. WTF?).

   However, asking Jessica Alba and Lindsay Lohan every month to pose naked isn’t such a bad idea because you never know, especially with Lohan’s bipolar ass, when they just might say “yes”. I think we all remember Lindsay’s New York magazine (I certainly do because I have a copy in the closet and a copy in the bathroom). Sometimes all it takes to get a top celebrity naked is the right question at the right time.

   Which reminds me. When the hell are people going to start asking Megan Fox? She’s at the pinnacle of her career and she’s still doing provocative photo shoots. Some1 needs to convince her naive ass to pose nude a la J.Beil and Gear Magazine before she realizes just how fucking hot she is.
