UFC - Ultimate Fighting Championship
Unlike WWE, UFC, is a real sport. The fighting in UFC is not scripted at all and is real just like professional boxing. There are very few women employed by UFC which appear on camera. In total, there are only 3! They are known as "The Octogan Girls". This is due to the fact that the ring in UFC, is an octogan (8 sides) surrounded by a steel cage. The Octogan Girls never compete in fights, they just show signs to the audience informing them on what round it is. They also shoot t-shirts into the crowd during commercial breaks. Although they do not have bikini contests etc in UFC, they do wear provocative clothing to represent them in a promiscous way. They often wear mini skirts along with a sports bra. This supports Mulveys theory of "the male gaze", especially due to the fact that UFC's primary target audience is males aged 15 and above.
