Ronda Rousey will be back in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue this year, SI confirmed Thursday on Twitter. This time, though, she'll only be wearing body paint. Rousey appeared in the popular annual issue in a bikini last year.
Rumors circulated this week when SI Swimsuit Issue editor M.J. Day posted a photo on Instagram of a woman who appeared to be Rousey by the placement of her tattoos. It turns out, it was indeed the former UFC women's bantamweight champion. Rousey, too, confirmed her appearance on social media Thursday.
"I was one of the lucky few chosen to be a canvas for a hand painted masterpiece that took 14 hours to put on," Rousey wrote on Instagram.
