As If We Needed Another Reason To Like Amanda Beard

Posing nude in Playboy automatically makes you one of our favorite women sports stars, but now Amanda Beard is moving even higher up in our rankings as she professes to be a big fan of all things, Ultimate Fighting.

From SI:

[Says Beard,] I switched to an advertisement for a UFC pay-per-view featuring Royce Gracie. I didn't know anything about it but it looked cool so I said, 'Why not?' and ordered it. I was instantly hooked. I couldn't stop watching it. I immediately became a fan and I wanted to learn everything about it. It's been more than a year now and I'm still learning.

Awesome. A hot chick who digs fighting and likes to take her clothes off. Does it get any better than that?

Luckily, I found a boyfriend who liked it as well, so I didn't have to be that girl sitting in her house watching it by herself.

Ohhhhhhhhhh. Point deduction - Miss Beard - boyfriend violation. Yeah, it must have been realllly hard to find a guy who likes the UFC and also wants to date a hot, female athlete. She must have had to look for at least 10 seconds to find a guy like that.

At least she is legitimately into the fights. She even has her own top five fights list. Hey, Amanda, when you lose the boyfriend, drop us an email, huh? We wouldn't want you to have to waste a lot of time searching for another guy who likes Ultimate Fighting.
