How did you get into the world of MMA?

-I was always a fan of MMA. I was not as devoted to watching because of my busy schedule and lack of having a TV, haha. But anytime I was able to I would watch. I knew enough about it to know who different fighters were and who won fights. I was informed about the UFC octagon girl search by a friend and thought I'd give it a try. I sent in my bio and photos like all the other thousands of girls and was selected for the top 40 to compete at the UFC expo. And we all know what happened from there. :)

We can speak for many in saying we are glad the UFC introduced us to you!

What have you been up to since your UFC days?

-Since working the Octagon I am still doing the modeling, dancing and now I do a lot of hosting, some acting and hope to further my career in all of them.

Who are your favorite MMA fighters?

-Picking my favorite MMA fighters is so difficult!!! I hate this question because there are so many different weight classes and such. But to name a few: BJ Penn, Randy Couture, Urijah Faber, Mike Swick, Forrest Griffin, Kyle Kingsbury, Kenny Florian, Brock Lesnar, Anthony Pettis... and the list goes on!

What are the sweetest comments MMA fans have said to you?

-The sweetest things fans have said to me would have to be "we miss your bright smile", "you are a character", "and your personality is one of a kind." I love making people smile and laugh, no one should ever think that I am being mean or vindictive, unless I tell you I am being mean ;) So the compliments about my personality are my favorite.

What is something most people don't know about you?

-Most people don't know that I grew up in Vegas, on a farm and home-schooled with my seven other siblings. I hate wearing make-up, I don't own a comb and I love poop humor. :)

What are your hobbies and how do you spend your free time?

-My hobbies include running, long-boarding, surfing, SUPing, sewing, cooking, reading, watching movies, dancing, singing, kayaking and photography.

How was your trip to Iraq and what did you get to do?

-My trip to Iraq was epic! We were in Kuwait and Iraq. We traveled around to the different bases doing clinics and spending time with the soldiers. We would never travel on the ground unless it was on a base. All our traveling was done via Black Hawk Helicopter or C130. We did signings, photos, the UFC fighters did grappling clinics and we shot guns, made bombs and blew shit up! haha

Are you single?

-I am single, yes.

What do you look for in a guy?

-Qualities I must have in a guy are similar interests. Active, not obsessive but someone who loves to get outdoors. Humor is so important, I love to laugh and make people laugh. I love original and individuality. Someone who is just them, not a follower but a leader. A guy who is thoughtful and romantic is a must. I am so low-maintenance, don't like jewelry, name-brand items or expensive gifts. I prefer experiencing life together, going places like tide-pools and theme parks... stuff like that. I am a big kid ;)

What are your turn-ons?

-Turn-ons: big smile, long hair, athletic (no steroids), good sense of humor, laid-back... I want a gentleman in the street but a freak in the bed! haha

What are your turnoffs?

-Turn-offs: Self-absorbed, jealous, steroids, womanizer, close-minded, lazy, fame-hungry, negative outlook on life.

What would you say if your best feature?

-I'd say my best feature in the physical, is my face. Not that I think I am so beautiful or anything, I just like that I have a welcoming smile and eyes. People are comfortable around me and never leave feeling like I was mean or self-absorbed.

What are your future plans or dreams in life?

-My future plans are to just pursue different interests. Whether it is acting, modeling, etc. I am just going with life, living it as it comes. I want to have a lot of money so that I can do more to help the world. If I had the money right now, I would go help and devote my time to Japan, my heart was made to love and comfort people and that is the main goal for my success. With more success, I can help more. :) And I would love to get married, have a family and hopefully raise my own kids on a farm, haha.

For all the latest news on Natasha check out her Facebook fan page, on Twitter @natashawicks, monthly blog at Girls of BSN and at Model Mayhem.  I think we speak for many that we miss you at UFC, adore you as a person and wish you nothing but the best in all your future endeavors.  Thanks again for your time Natasha and we look forward to speaking with you again soon.

Ashley Salazar - The Strikeforce Experience

This past Saturday Strikeforce had two new ring girls on hand as part of recent contest they held via Facebook.  One of these lovely ladies was Ashley Salazar.  This Puerto Rican and Columbian stunner is 26 years old, 5'7", 115 lbs., and measures a curvy 34DD-26-36.  Born in Aurora, IL she began acting and modeling at the age of 14.  For six year's Ashley served in the United States Air Force and then earned her associates degree in Applied Sciences.  Ashley is now an accomplished artist, model, photographer, promotions event marketing specialist and MMA personality as a ring girl and amateur fighter.  In the summer of 2009 she founded MissOohLaLaa which showcases some of the best entertainment talent in the Midwest but will be expanding nationwide next month.  On top of all that she is also currently a full time student majoring in Mass Communications with a minor in Theater.

We recently had the pleasure of catching up with Ashley to ask her a few questions about her MMA background and the coveted Strikeforce experience.  Read on to find out more about the beautiful Ashley Salazar.  This is truly an inspiring interview and honored to have Ashley share this with us.

How did you get into the world of MMA?

-The first actual live experience I ever had with MMA cage fights was in April of 2009.  I had seen it on television and was a wrestling cheerleader all throughout high school but I never experienced a live cage fight until then.  I was a ring girl for STL Warriors here in Saint Louis, MO.

After sitting cage side that night I was officially hooked and I fell in love with the dynamic art of MMA.  Of course I was attracted to the guys as well :) along with the determination of the fighters and the fact that they have NO fear.  To be honest I almost envision MMA like a rhythmic dance that is about taking and receiving energy.  It's all about how you use it, how fast you use it and to what precision and decisiveness you use it.  The sport truly is an art all in itself.

Tell us about your experience with Strikeforce this past weekend.

-Well I got to meet Arnold Schwarzenegger and shake his hand, I just said "wow" I was kind of star struck because he is such an amazing humanitarian.  Frank Shamrock sung happy birthday to my daughter for me on Skype Friday night which was so crazy and he offered for me to come train with him.  I got to meet some amazing, inspirational fighters that I have been following including Marloes Coenen, Antonio Silva, Josh Thomson, Josh Barnett, Frank Shamrock and some of them even took the time to watch my amateur MMA fights which just blew me away.  Marloes also introduced me to her boxing coach, offered to train me and gave me some great advice on keeping faith in my Strikeforce dream.  She didn't look at me like I was crazy and that the possibility of me fighting like her one day was an obtainable dream.

What was the best part of the Strikeforce experience?

-Meeting the match maker for Strikeforce and having Frank Shamrock offer me to come train with him which I am going to take him up on as soon as possible.

Who are your favorite MMA fighters?

-Alistair Overeem, BJ Penn, Marloes Coenen, Antonio Silva, Miesha Tate, Josh Thomson, Cris Cyborg, Josh Barnett, Gina Carano, Frank Shamrock, Darryl Cobb and Roxanne Modafferi.

What is something most people don't know about you?

-That MMA helped me stop cutting.  Growing up my life has been very hard, my mother was a drug addict, my step father as well and my birth father I never met until I was 14.  My real father doesn't care much to be in my life even though I am his only child.  To be honest I don't talk to them anymore because they are more damaging to be in my life than not.

During my military experience I went through hurricane Katrina and lost all my belongings.  At that time I was also married and had an ex-husband who liked to be abusive.

Because of finding my path along MMA and a year of therapy it has taught me to control my anger and pain for all the bad things that have happened to me.  I don't know how to quite describe it but it has given me some type of control back that I felt I lost a long time ago.  It teaches and gives me discipline, self confidence, patience and so much more.

What are your future plans or dreams?

-Well, I've been a fighter my whole life so it just makes sense for me to grow up and fight as a pro female fighter in Strikeforce one day.  That personally is one of my top five goals and dreams in my life.  I would say the others are: to see Miss Ooh La Laa go international, become a film director, see the event I am putting together Fight For Fashion (100% charity event) be a major success, it would be awesome to make it a permanent yearly event if I can make it happen and lastly just to live a happy life with my family.

Thank you Ashley for sharing so much of your background with us.  You truly inspire us and hope all your dreams come true. For more on Ashley check out her official website and on Twitter.
