Sports Illustrated magazine has been a staple of American sports journalism for more than 60 years, and this week's cover of the print edition will feature none other than UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey. It's only the 2nd time in SI's history that an MMA fighter has ever graced it's revered front page, with the other instance occurring way back in 2007 when the Roger Huerta vs. Leonard Garcia bout at UFC 69 was used to profile "America's fastest growing and most controversial sport".
Rousey is listed as SI's pound-for-pound best fighter in the world, and the cover describes her as the most dominant athlete in the world.
