A Welcome Introduction: Kat Kelley

Kat lives in Las Vegas, so naturally she's a gambler, right? "No!" She says, "I'd be broke!" But what about that jackpot, no temptation? "But then I would blow it," she admits. "Probably on a Ferrari." After a little digging, she reveals her dirty secret: "I've gambled. But not with my money. It worked out a lot better."

Besides the obvious, Kat has another asset that ought to interest men: she's a professional cigar roller. Taught the craft by an uncle in Nicaragua, she's since made it a career and in the process locked down a lifetime supply: "When they send me a package, obviously I roll some for myself." And what's the perfect time to light up and enjoy these hand-rolled luxuries, according to a professional? "When you're drinking wine. Red. I don't do scotch and cigars."

Being a successful model and ring girl means you go where the work is, whether it's a photo shoot or title match. Unfortunately, travel's not always smooth, as Kat discovered on a recent return trip from Biloxi. "The plane kept getting delayed and I asked what was wrong. They said 'crew issues.' So I asked what do you mean, and they said the pilot had alcohol on him and was sent home." But at least the in-flight entertainment was good, right? "I'm like, 'Oh my God!' After watching <i>Flight</i> with Denzel Washington!?"

Kat's an MMA ring girl, which means she automatically knows more about combat than we do. So we wanted to know which of these famous characters, if pitted in a fight to the death, would win. Here are her answers:
<br></br>
Spiderman VS. Batman: "Batman. I don't like spiders."
<br></br>
Bugs Bunny VS. Kermit the Frog: "Bugs Bunny, because he's more active, and he seems like he has a crew behind him."
<br></br>
Betty VS. Veronica: "Definitely Betty. She's cuter and more spunky."
<br></br>
You VS. Me: "Uh, definitely me. I'm a little bit feisty, not going to lie." We forfeit.

To watch Kat in action, head over to Atlantic City (any reason is a good reason, right?) for the World Series of Fighting event on March 23rd at Revel (tickets are still available on Ticketmaster). Or watch it live on NBC Sports Network and NBCSports.com at 9:30PM ET.
