“I kind of think they don’t hold any loyalty to anybody. Just to come straight up with nothing leading up to it? They didn’t give me any warning; they didn’t tell me why,” Logan Stanton told MMAFighting.com on Thursday.
Both UFC octagon girls Logan Stanton and Natasha Wicks were released from contract by the UFC on Wednesday, which came as a surprise to everyone. Stanton did not have her one year contract renewed after making her debut at UFC 92. Wicks had her contract cut short after winning a one year contract during a Maxim Octagon Girl search this summer as part of the UFC 100 weekend.
Both women felt that they were part of the UFC’s long term plans.
“I hadn’t heard anything from anybody,” Stanton told MMAFighting.com on Thursday. “They were promoting me and I was in the video game for next year, so I didn’t think anything of it. I assumed that they were just going to renew my contract for at least another year.”
“I think it was a very last minute decision that nobody was informed on, because up until the very end, they’ve been having me do shoots and the video game and everything. So I don’t know why it happened.”
“I mainly want all the fans to know how greatly I appreciated their support.”
Stanton, who had never worked in MMA prior to landing the Octagon Girl job with the UFC, said that she would like to continue working in MMA and would be open to working as a ring girl for another organization.
“I love this sport. Towards the end, I really started to get into the sport and the fights and I was having a blast. I love being in that world. So we’ll see what happens from here,” she said.
“This was probably one of the best years of my life — one of the greatest experiences when I look back on it. No hard feelings towards UFC — nothing. I had a great time. Thanks to all the fans who supported me throughout all of it and made it such a great year for me. So it was good while it lasted, but I guess it’s round 2 now. It’s a stepping stone to something else, so we’ll see where it goes.”
