Check out my interview with UK ring girl Alex Boldry. Enjoy…..

Jay Cee: “I will start by asking how you first got into being a ring girl? I know you are also a model, was the ring girl thing something that came from that?”

Alex Boldry: “I had done a bit of modeling work and someone saw some of my pictures and asked me to be a ring girl at the shock n awe show. I knew nothing about cage fighting and was a bit shocked when I watched the first few fights as they were really hurting each other! It was not like the wrestling I used to watch when I was at school! After a while I got into it and really enjoyed it. Now that I have learn’t more about it, watching things like UFC and Strikeforce I can see which submissions they are going for and can judge who’s won the round.

Jay Cee : “You have done work with the Shock ‘n’ Awe promotion here in the UK and you have done some work with UCMMA, what is your favorite thing about being a ring girl (apart from getting a ringside seat…lol) and why?”

Alex Boldry: “I love the buzz of the crowd, there’s always a brilliant atmosphere. I’m a total exhibitionist so love walking around half naked! Being ring girl I get right in where the action is, even Stepping over the blood at the end of the round it’s all good fun and yes of course we get the best seats!!”

Jay Cee: “I am aware that on top of actually being a ring girl you are a fan of MMA, who is your favorite fighter? and what is it that you most like about Mixed Martial Arts?”

Alex Boldry: “GSP!! I just plain love him. I think BJJ is an amazing skill, to see the fighters rolling and then pulling out an arm bar from nowhere it really is an art in itself. It’s the ultimate primitive sport which takes total commitment, I have a lot of respect for the guys that get in the cage.”

Jay Cee: “What is your ultimate goal within the industry? Would you one day like to be an octagon girl sitting next to Arianny and Chandella at a UFC event?”

Alex Boldry: “UFC is obviously the big dream! Arianny is one of my idols, she has it all really. For now I’m just seeing where it takes me. Shock n awe is so much fun to work for, the guys that run it Brian and Gareth are brilliant, we are very well looked after. It’s getting bigger each time and they are producing some amazing fighters. I’d be happy to see them get into the UFC and some of them are heading that way.”

Jay Cee: “Last question now Alex….What advice would you give to all the women out there who are interested in becoming a model or a ring girl?”

Alex Boldry: “Go for it! don’t give up. You have to be pretty hard in this industry, networking is the key and as with everything it’s not what you know it’s who you know!! At shows always smile! There will be the one picture that catches you not smiling and you look like a right miserable bitch!! Haha.”

Jay Cee: “Ok, great. Well thanks for the interview Alex and best of luck for the future!”
