Ronda Rousey is back in the pages of the famed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and this time, she’s on the cover.
On the cover, Rousey appears in a swimsuit made of nothing but body paint. Inside the issue, her swimsuit spread features a separate body paint swimsuit.
In the video above, Sports Illustrated takes you behind the scenes as Rousey gets painted for the photo shoot.
Rousey joins Ashley Graham and Hailey Clauson as models on this years covers. Sports Illustrated announced the covers Saturday during the “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2016 Revealed” special on the TNT cable network.
Rousey appeared on the special with Graham and Clauson as the covers were unveiled. The hosts teased a cover reveal, and then with all three women on stage, announced for the first time in the issue’s history, there would be three separate covers.
Rousey first appeared in the issue in 2015. But this year, she becomes the first non-model athlete to land a cover spot, and just the second non-model – after Beyonce Knowles – to grace the cover.
Check out the video above to go behind the scenes of Rousey’s photo shoot, and check out the gallery below. The 2016 SI Swimsuit Issue hits newsstands Monday.
