Pic: Ronda Rousey cover of Sports Illustrated

You've seen her in between the pages of the world-renowned sports magazine, but Ronda Rousey has never graced the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Until now.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight champion earned the privilege shortly after she was dubbed "The World's Most Dominate Athlete."

Congrats @RondaRousey on making the cover of #SportsIllustrated and named SI's most dominant athlete! On stands 5/13 pic.twitter.com/FAdh5amOxd

The first mixed martial arts (MMA) star to grace the SI cover, however, is former UFC lightweight contender Roger Huerta, whose push kick on Leonard Garcia back at UFC 69 put him in the spotlight.
