The octagonal cutout Brittney Palmer carries around the cage to mark rounds in the UFC wouldn’t be half bad as a pallet for her other passion – painting.

It just so happens the two are coming together for the first time as the popular UFC ring card girl shows off a different side of her talents.

Palmer, who got her start as a ring card girl in the now-defunct WEC, was an avid sketcher growing up, but dancing turned out to be her first creative outlet. When a car accident left her temporarily unable to walk, however, she picked up the brush.

Now, she’s got a sizable cache of paintings that she sells on her website as she travels the globe and walks around the octagon for the UFC. At this past weekend’s International Fight Week, she held her first exhibit, which was filled with fight-themed paintings.

“I really love the Chuck Liddell that I put into the show,” Palmer told MMAjunkie, describing a black-and-white portrait featuring the UFC Hall of Famer’s famous mohawk and tattoo on the back of his head. “It’s more of an artistic vision. You don’t have to be an MMA fan to like this painting.

“You can put it above your couch in your living room and have no idea who it is. It just looks rad.”

You can check out Palmer’s work online, or, of course, at UFC events. Most fans say she paints a pretty picture making those turns.
