‼️🇺🇸: UFC OCTAGON GIRLS EPSTEIN MODELING PIPELINE

The link between Epstein and Dana White is UFC (Octagon Girls), Ari Emanuel (IMG Modeling), billionaire Fertitta family(20+ docs in Epstein files), and Wilhelmina Models. 👀

Epstein had direct input/output with Wilhelmina Models for years (AFTER his conviction), WHILE UFC was using them for "Octagon Girls"

The Fertitta brothers Frank and Lorenzo bought UFC in the early 2000s and kept Dana as President. Frank was negotiating selling Epstein a plane for years (2010s), that fell through via an exclusive broker.

Their cousin Tillman Fertitta is in the Epstein files for using the same high-risk JP Morgan bank SARS handler, and working with Epstein’s right-hand Richard Handler(700+ mentions in Epstein files) co-chairing a business together.

Ari Emanuel and IMG buy UFC and Octagon Girls in 2016 for BILLIONS and the network that came with it.

Ari is mentioned to Epstein directly by an IMG model who was said she was "dating" him at the time.

IMG Models, UFC Octagon Girls all used girls from the Wilhelmina pipeline that Epstein moved through.

It's a BIG CLUB, and you're not in it.

Model discussing "dating" Ari Emanuel with Epstein (EFTA02456681)

Epstein Connections to Ari Emanuel’s IMG Models Network (from DOJ Disclosures)
Primary Connection: IMG Models (2011 Emails)
Multiple mentions in Epstein’s email correspondence (at least 8 separate DOJ documents: EFTA01864854, EFTA02540901, EFTA01862403, EFTA01864880, EFTA00628453, EFTA00628458, EFTA01864919, EFTA02022285).

Key figure: Ramsey Elkholy (talent/model scout and representative) emailed Jeffrey Epstein in June 2011 discussing models to pitch to IMG Models.
June 26, 2011 exchange:Elkholy to Epstein: “Kate is very intelligent… I’m introducing her to IMG tomorrow for their special bookings board. Wilhelmina took a pass… IMG took a pass a few weeks ago when I proposed Lindsay Lohan, so there is a chance that IMG won’t take Kate.”
Epstein responded: “29 is very late twenties” — directly evaluating the model’s age suitability for the IMG pitch.

Epstein was actively consulted on model selection and pitching strategy to IMG Models.
Elkholy also pitched Lindsay Lohan to IMG (IMG passed).

Follow-up (June 27, 2011): Elkholy emailed Epstein about a reality series idea involving “child models and their mothers” pitched by a model’s mother.

Secondary Connection: IMG Artists (2014)

September 2014 thread (around the time of WME-IMG acquisition talks).
Epstein’s assistant Lesley Groff sent a list of recommended artist managers to Simon Ghraichy.
The list included Tanja Dorn, Director of IMG Artists GmbH (Hannover, Germany) — IMG’s classical music and performing arts division (distinct from IMG Models but under the same IMG corporate umbrella pre-acquisition).

UFC Octagon Grils/Wilhelmina Models -
Logan Stanton (Strongest & Most Recent Pre-2019 Example)

UFC Octagon Girl tenure: Approximately 2008–2010 (debut at UFC 92 in December 2008; noted appearances through UFC 107 in December 2009; described as former Octagon Girl in later profiles).
Wilhelmina Models representation: Signed to Wilhelmina’s Los Angeles, New York, and London divisions. Direct agency profile links appear in multiple bios. She focused on modeling (including brands like Roxy and Guess) during and after her UFC period.
Simultaneous activity: Her UFC appearances (2008–2010) overlapped with her active modeling career and Wilhelmina affiliation. Sources explicitly tie her Wilhelmina representation to her post-UFC modeling success while confirming her ring-girl history.

Key web citations:

whosdatedwho.com/dating/logan-s… — Lists her as “Former UFC Octagon Girl” with talent agency: Wilhelmina Models – Los Angeles, Wilhelmina Models – New York, Wilhelmina Models – London. Includes direct Wilhelmina profile URLs (e.g., wilhelmina.com/new-york/model…).
middleeasy.com/top-lists/ufc-… (published 2023, referencing her career) — Confirms: “Logan Stanton… joined the ranks of UFC Octagon Girls in 2008… She is represented by Wilhelmina modeling agency and has modeled several big brands…” Notes her modeling focus since departing UFC, consistent with concurrent/transition activity.
famousfix.com/topic/logan-st… — Reinforces “Former UFC Octagon Girl” + Wilhelmina Models affiliation.
idcrawl.com/logan-stanton — Ties her to Wilhelmina New York and UFC Octagon Girl photos/events.

2. Amber Nichole Miller (Earlier Pre-2019 Example)

UFC Octagon Girl tenure: 2002–2006 (considered one of the first in the “modern era”; started at UFC 40 in 2002; departed after approximately four years, around 2006, reportedly after a dispute with another ring girl).
Wilhelmina Models representation: Explicitly signed to Wilhelmina Models NY (also listed with Natural Models LA in some bios).
Simultaneous activity: Her UFC years (2002–2006) align with the typical window when aspiring models secure agency representation. Bios present both her UFC Octagon Girl role and Wilhelmina affiliation as part of her professional profile, which is standard for women actively working both circuits at the time.

Key web citations:

babynamespedia.com/famous/model/57 — States: “Amber Nichole Miller is an American model, actress, and former UFC Octagon Girl. She is signed to Natural Models LA and Wilhelmina Models NY.”
