Ronda Rousey To Appear Wearing Only Body Paint In 2016 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

It’s been a while since the MMA world has seen Ronda Rousey following her loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193, however it won’t be long before fans get to see a lot of her — a whole lot.

While it was confirmed by UFC President Dana White on Wednesday’s edition of “UFC Tonight” that Holm will be defending her title against a yet-to-be-announced contender before doing the rematch with Rousey, Rousey is certainly having no problem staying busy.

In addition to being the first MMA fighter and only the third fighter of any kind to host the iconic Saturday Night Live late-night sketch show, which she will do on January 23rd, she will also be appearing in the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in a way that is sure to get fans buzzing.

S.I. Swimsuit editor MJ Day posted the following behind-the-scenes photo of a body-painted backside from the issue that hits newsstands in February, and thanks to an identifiable wrist tattoo, it didn’t take long for the world to figure out who the mystery girl is.

While you wait for this year’s Rousey S.I. Swimsuit Issue photo shoot, check out her full spread and the outtakes from her shoot from the 2015 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue here at MMANews.com via the following links:
