Rachelle Leah
Biography
Rachelle Leah was born in Redwood City, a picturesque community just south of San Francisco. Although active in swimming and gymnastics, it didn't take her long to catch the modeling bug. "When I was 16, I started modeling," Rachelle recalls. "It was more of a hobby than anything. When I was 18, I sent in photos to agencies and began working immediately. My first job modeling was with a real estate infomercial. It was a lot of fun."
Rachelle spent the next few years doing runway shows and ad campaigns while also trying to make time for her education. That's when fate stepped in. Rachelle agreed to help out a friend one night by working as a ring girl at a local boxing event. The curvy Californian took to the job like a fish to water and ended up being prominently featured on the event's website. "I was just at the right place at the right time," Rachelle says modestly.Rachelle Leah Sexiness
When it comes to being a UFC Octagon Girl, sexiness isn't a bonus, it's a primary job requirement. It's also something that Rachelle has in spades. At 5'7" and 115 lbs, the Bay Area beauty is a heavenly mixture of chiseled muscle and buxom curves. Take just one look at her rock-hard abs and long, slender legs, and you'll easily understand why she's quickly becoming one of the UFC's top attractions.
Rachelle Leah Success Although Rachelle may be best known for her work as one of UFC's Octagon Girls, she's also an accomplished model. "I do all sorts of modeling, but my favorite is print work," she says. "I love doing photo shoots and runways. I do everything, to be honest. I do special events and promotional things. My favorite is definitely the print work and photo shoots."
Among Rachelle Leah's most noteworthy print work are her appearances in Maxim magazine, as well as calendar shoots for UFC and Havana Honey Cigars. Rachelle has also done runway work for Puma, Coquette Lingerie and Sauvage Swimwear.
On the screen, Rachelle Leah has appeared on The View, Last Call with Carson Daly, Nick & Jessica's Family Christmas, and in the 2005 independent film, Vegas, Baby. The UFC, however, is still her major claim to fame, and Rachelle has adjusted to her newfound celebrity well. "You just take it day by day," she says. "The fans are the people that make my career, and if it weren't for them, I wouldn't be here. So I'm grateful for it. If someone approaches me, of course I'll take the time to sign an autograph or take a picture. I think it's really cool."
