During her days as with UFC, Ronda Rousey was one of the most impressive MMA fighters in the world, male or female.
Rousey went 12-2 in her career, at one time holding the UFC record for most title defenses by a female with 6. The first women's bantamweight champion, Rousey was the first female competitor inducted to the UFC Hall of Fame in 2018. Prior to her time in the octagon, she made history as the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in judo when she took home bronze in Beijing in 2008.
MMA is not all Rousey is known for though. The 37-year-old Oregon native also had a successful WWE career and dabbled in acting and modeling. Over the years, she was featured in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue, including one time wearing only "body paint."
SI Swimsuit.
Rousey made her SI Swim debut in 2015, and in 2016, she was one of three "body paint" cover models, along with Ashley Graham and Hailey Clauson.
You can find all three of their photoshoots right here. Over the years, SI also shared Rousey's personal photos from the "body paint" feature on Twitter.
"Ronda Rousey in NOTHING BUT BODY PAINT..." SI Swimsuit wrote in one tweet.

Rousey retired from MMA in 2016, citing concussions. She went on to become the eighth Women's Triple Crown Champion in WWE history before eventually stepping away from the ring in 2023.
Rousey and her husband Travis Browne were married in 2017. She gave birth to their first child, a daughter named La'akea Makalapuaokalanipo, in 2021.
Earlier this year, Rousey announced she was pregnant with their second child during an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con.
