A former Miss Texas winner who is about get married to an NBA star has been chosen to be a ring girl for Jake Paul’s fight with Anderson Silva on Saturday.
YouTuber Paul will battle UFC legend Silva this weekend in the heavily anticipated clash. Paul confirmed their bout in September, but it was in jeopardy of being called off when Silva revealed that he’d been knocked out twice in training.
However, the fight was given the green light after Silva had a successful MRI scan. Fans will be expecting a knockout in the upcoming match, but they’ll be given a treat beforehand when blonde stunner Kourtney Kellar graces the ring.

The social media sensation was picked as one of four ring girls for the fight at the Desert Diamond Arena, Arizona.
She’s garnered a legion of over 700,000 followers on Instagram with her bikini-clad photos flaunting her sensational figure.
It was these scintillating snaps that led NBA star Isaiah Hartenstein to pursue the blonde bombshell.
The New York Knicks star was so enthralled by Kellar’s saucy photos, that he slid into her DM’s on the social media platform.

But what made Hartenstein stand out from the rest of her admirers, is that his favourite pic was one where she wearing a turtleneck, Kellar revealed to the New York Post.
And his persistence paid off as they’ve now been together since 2017 when he played for the Houston Rockets, the same year that she was crowned Miss Texas.
Things got more serious between the pair when Hartenstein popped the question in April, leading to their engagement. However, Kellar was also previously engaged to country singer Chase Bryant.
But despite her lengthy relationship with the 7ft center, Kellar was apparently caught ‘flirting’ with Jake’s brother Logan after his bout with Tyron Woodley last year.

Kellar credited Logan for causing her DM’s to explode after their exchange that was caught on camera.
But Hartenstein won’t be able to attend the fight and keep a watchful eye over his fiancee as the Knicks are in action tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks, and then again on Sunday when he’ll face old side the Cavaliers.
