Ronda Rousey Sizzles In SI Swimsuit Issue
UFC women's bantamweight champion is making waves again!
Ronda Rousey is no stranger to magazine spreads, having turned up in ESPN's The Body issue in the buff, and making the Maxim Hot 100, but she's set the internet ablaze again thanks to an appearance in this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
The spread leaves little to the imagination, and will no doubt bring even more eyeballs to Rousey, who is already basking in the spotlight thanks to her status as an undefeated UFC champion, and appearing in several big Hollywood properties, including The Expendables 3, Fast 7, and the Entourage movie.
The full photoset has now been released online, and you can check it out here.
Meanwhile, speaking to USA Today's For The Win about the Swimsuit special, Rousey said that
The ESPN Body Issue is about celebrating the peak of human potential and the kind of form the human body, when specialized, can really look like. The Swimsuit Issue has a lot more sexual side to it, while I dont think the Body Issue is overtly sexual whereas Sports Illustrated is,
I purposely tried to get a little bit heavier for the SI issue so I was a little bit curvier and not in top fight shape look but the look at which I feel Im the most attractive. Its very natural for a persons body to go through seasons.
She also confirmed she intends to continue juggling both her fight career and film career.
Ill keep fighting and filming together. Having them both allows me to do each one longer. Im able to step away from one and allow myself to miss the other. Going from fight camp to fight camp to fight camp constantly is an easy way to burn out. And going from movie to movie to movie is an easy way to burn out. Ive found an amazing balance. Im always happy and engaged and motivated.
In other news, Rousey has been rumoured to appear at Wrestlemania 31 - but first, she needs to take care of business in the octagon, as she meets Cat Zingano at the end of February at UFC 184: Rousey vs. Zingano.
