    ON Red Dela Cruz's Instagram account, the 25-year-old describes herself as a fitness nerd, music-lover, pancake lover, and a traveller. The Filipino model is certainly all these, and much more. She's living it up as an Octagon Girl with American mixed martial arts (MMA) organisation Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a job that lets her travel all around the world.

    The "Octagon" is the name of the imposing eight-sided cage that fighters compete in at UFC's events.

    "I love what I do. I get to meet different people in many countries, go to places I've never been before, and I have the best seat in the house to watch all the exciting fights," she said in an interview.
