Red Dela Cruz, the groundbreaking Filipina Octagon Girl who made history as the first in UFC history, is once again capturing the spotlight—this time with a sizzling black swimsuit photo that has the MMA community buzzing.
Dela Cruz, who boasts a massive following of over 450,000 on Instagram, knows exactly how to keep her fans engaged. Her latest post, a series of snapshots from a Hawaiian getaway, showcases her natural beauty and island vibes, and the comments section is blowing up with adoration.
“A natural beauty,” one fan gushed, while another chimed in with “Island girl.” The praise didn’t stop there, as a third follower declared, “Best ring girl in the game.”
Dela Cruz’s journey to the top of the UFC world is nothing short of impressive. In 2020, she took home the Ring Girl of the Year award at the Asian MMA Awards in Hong Kong. She’s worked high-profile UFC events across the globe, including the iconic Fight Island in Abu Dhabi during the pandemic. Her resume also includes being selected as a Ring Card Girl for Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2023.
But Dela Cruz isn’t just a UFC fixture—she’s expanded her reach into boxing as well. She was part of the massive Canelo vs. Crawford fight week in Las Vegas in September 2025, and in 2026, she joined the new Zuffa Boxing project while continuing her duties with the UFC.
Just last week, Dela Cruz was in Edmonton for a UFC event headlined by the welterweight clash between Joaquin Buckley and Mike Malott. Her presence there, as always, added a touch of glamour to the octagon.
With her stunning looks and undeniable charisma, it’s no surprise that Dela Cruz has become a fan favorite. Her recent swimsuit photo is just the latest example of why she’s one of the most followed ring girls in the sport.

Fans can expect to see Dela Cruz back in the octagon soon, where she’ll no doubt continue to shine both in and out of the cage.
