UFC has delivered early Holiday gifts to its lovely Octagon girls, Logan Stanton and Natasha Wicks: Pink slips.

MMAmadness and Cagewriter report that Stanton and Wicks have been relieved of their duties as ring girls.

Stanton, who has graced the Octagon with her presence since UFC 92, received her walking paper after UFC decided not to renew her contract that expired after UFC 107. On the other hand, Wicks, who made her debut at UFC 101 to replace Edith Labelle, received the unfortunate news that her stint came to an end before her contract expired.

Arianny Celeste, who recently re-negotiated her contract with UFC, will remain on the payroll with a new companion: According to multiple sources, UFC will employ only two ring girls from now on. While awaiting official confirmation, rumors suggest that Chandella Powell, a former playmate, will replace Stanton and Wicks.

The reasons for the release of Stanton and Wicks remain under wraps. Could it be UFC's peripheral cost-cutting measure? Did UFC deem Stanton and Wicks "poor fit within UFC/Zuffa's organizational culture"?

Chime in, Maniacs!!
