Ronda Rousey almost nude, in knockout shape … For SI spread

UFC fighter Ronda Rousey stripped down to absolutely nothing for the upcoming Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue – and the photos are insane! “Secret’s out – so here’s a free preview of this year’s 2016 SI swimsuit issue …”

Holm defeated “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey in spectacular fashion in Melbourne, Australia, in front of millions who may have thought she didn’t have a chance.

Ronda confirmed on Thursday through her Instagram that she will indeed be featuring in the 2016 SI Swimsuit Issue wearing nothing but only bodypaint. “For the caption, Day wrote “#instabooty if #2016 keeps going like this then I’m going to be one happy happy girl! The long-awaited rematch was postponed on January 6 as it was announced that Holly will take on another UFC fighter during her next fight.

It will be interesting to see the level of interest in Holm’s fight against Tate or whomever White decides is the best opponent – or the one least likely to endanger the Rousey rematch.

Looks like UFC fans will have to wait a little longer to see Holly Holm take on Ronda Rousey again. The swimsuit in question, however, will consist of only body paint.

Being featured in a swimsuit issue (sans swimsuit, no less!) sends a powerful message that it’s perfectly fine and totally possible to be many things to many people at the same time. Holm’s second round head kick stoppage victory marked Rousey’s first professional mixed martial arts loss since she began her career.

Rousey is now enjoying scheduled break, which includes shooting the “Road House” remake and hosting “Saturday Night Live” later this month.

As you can imagine, Ronda’s shoot on a public beach drew plenty of attention… hence these pics.
