Ronda Rousey is taking the no half measures approach to breaking her media silence following her defeat to Holly Holm.
First it was announced that the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion would be hosting Saturday Night Live, now it has been confirmed that she will appear in the 2016 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition wearing nothing but body paint.
Rousey was one of the feature models in last year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition, and the publication have since confirmed that she will return for this year’s edition which is set to hit shelves in February.
