The UFC May Have Fired Octagon Girl Chandella Powell Because She Allegedly Has a Softcore Porn Past
Chandella Powell was curiously absent from Wednesday’s UFC on Fuel TV event in Omaha, Nebraska. For an Octagon Girl to miss a fight card is not all that strange, but rumors have started swirling this week that Powell has been released by the organization. The reason for her firing? Before Powell was with the UFC she allegedly did some softcorn pornography under the name “Mariah Ashton.”
Powell joined the UFC around the end of 2009. Before that she worked at the Playboy Club in Las Vegas and also appeared in the magazine. How much less artful is softcore porn than appearing in Playboy? All three other Octagon Girls listed on the UFC website – Rachel Leah, Arianny Celeste and Brittney Palmer – have appeared in Playboy.
Powell’s bio page on UFC.com remains, but it also said that she’s 2-years-old. (That typo has remained on UFC.com for months if not more than a year.) Dana White made it clear that the UFC is not in the website business during his spat with Anonymous, so getting any trace of Powell off the official website is probably way down on the list of priorities. Around the time these rumors popped up, Powell’s Twitter went silent.
The other interesting part about this rumor is that Powell may not have been fired for being involved with pornography, but for not disclosing it to the UFC. Yes, if you’re interested, links to the photographs in question can be found in the comments section of one of the outgoing links in this post. I’m not going to tell you which one though. This is the Internet. If you can’t find a naked girl here, then there is really no hope for you.

I would have thought that being in softcore porn was a prerequisite to be an octagon girl in the first place.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:29 PM
Softcore porn: bad. This photo shoot: okay.
They should have fired her with a press release saying softcore porn is for pussies and here at UFC, we ain’t no pussies. Visible penetration or GTFO.

Pics aren’t bad at all, some good ones in there.

Softcore porn sucks.

Anyone commenting without their pants on in here? no? Well than I’ve lost all interest.

But has she ever made out with another girl on the bed of a bisexual girl?

The internet has ruined softcore cable porn for me.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:33 PM
i remember trying to watch softcore porn on channel 99 through the static in hopes to catch a titty shot. Oh the good old days.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:34 PM
Same thing for Playboy.

Kids these days will never know what it was like to try to masturbate to static.

Or flip through magazines like Allure that would every once in a while have a nude ad picture in it.

Hasn’t there been as many Emmanuelle’s as there have been Dr. Who’s?
February 17th, 2012 at 3:43 PM

There is only one as far as I am concerned, starring — as the pantsless man mentioned, the one and only Krista Allen.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:45 PM
Krista Allen rocked. Who was that tall blonde that was in a bunch of late night flicks? Shannon or Shanna something…
February 17th, 2012 at 3:46 PM
Shannon Tweed, she’s shacked up with Gene Simmons these days
February 17th, 2012 at 3:47 PM
I read this quickly as Kirstie Alley
February 17th, 2012 at 3:50 PM
As ms implied, I highly doubt that Ms. Powell was opting for a career as an Octagon Girl because she was turning down roles in the next Nolan or Scorcese blockbuster. More than likely, it’s Octagon Girl or softcore and she got it backwards.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:50 PM
To think Kirstie Alley used to have this body. Now about that face…
February 17th, 2012 at 3:51 PM
I wish it was the other girl depicted.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:52 PM
Emmanuelle in space was awesome when I was in high school. “Nightcap” wasn’t bad either
February 17th, 2012 at 3:53 PM

Julie Strain was awesome. Now it’s Heather Vandeven all over the place. And the one that looks like Joan Rivers whose name I don’t know.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:54 PM
or jungle titties in National Geographic that hung below the knees.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:55 PM

Her and Christine Nguyen in all the late night movies.

Whenever I think about these shows, I think about the people in the movies. These people probably moved to hollywood at 19, withh dreams of becoming the next Julia Roberts or Tom Cruise. They probably waited tables or worked construction or something waiting for that big break — then it came. It came in Broadcast Bombshells. Not quite adult fare, but not quite Forrest Gump either. What do these people say at there family reunions — “Oh, you saw me in Busty Cops 2 — I was the lead male role”

The acting sucked in Busty Cops 2.

I have a friend who was stationed in a remote place for awhile with no access to women or porn. His “rock bottom,” he said, was jerking off to an Andie MacDowell picture in an issue of Good Housekeeping.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:59 PM
I was kind of surprised to see Faye Reagan in the newest Emmanuelle.
/not that I’m familiar with her other work

February 17th, 2012 at 4:02 PM
I’m always confused by the real porn stars who do softcore scenes, like Riley Steele…they just worn out from the real thing and want a quick payday?
February 17th, 2012 at 4:02 PM
God that’s great
February 17th, 2012 at 4:02 PM

that’s bleak, but at least in a magazine, Andie McDowell isn’t talking.

Maybe. The aforementioned Faye Reagan also does modeling for American Apparel under the name Jillian.

This made me laugh.

Oh, was she ever shot in the days of Summer School.
