Ronda Rousey bares all in nude shoot

Holly Holm knocked Ronda Rousey out in their UFC women’s bantamweight championship bout Sunday in Melbourne, Australia.

Rousey has parlayed her star status into a number of movie roles, including “Furious 7” and “Entourage” and will be seen next in “Road House”.

It was one of the biggest upsets in the history of the UFC, with underdog Holm sensationally knocking Rousey out.

If Rousey is in fact in the swimsuit spread, it won’t be her first time.

She is, however, taking a swing at hosting “Saturday Night Live” on January 23.

Here’s a video of her last appearance in SI in 2015.

Sports Illustrated editor MJ Day likes to reveal a faceless snap ahead of new editions of the magazine, but may have given the game away by not taking a picture that doesn’t show the tattoos. The attractive blonde has a Kodokan flower tattoo on her wrist, the same exact spot Rousey has hers.

Of course, this is just one peek at Ronda’s body paint covered figure. “We can neither confirm nor deny these rumors, but isn’t the idea of Ronda donning nothing but paint enough to tide you over until the issue comes out in February?”

Rousey, of course, has made her name as a tenacious fighter providing young girls (and boys) with a tremendous role model who refutes hetero-normative gender stereotypes.
