UFC asked fighters to congratulate Ronda Rousey on Twitter for SI cover

Back in February, Ronda Rousey became the first MMA fighter to appear in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. Earlier this week, Sports Illustrated announced that it would be honoring Rousey once again — this time for her dominance inside the Octagon.

Rousey is prominently featured in the May 13 issue of Sports Illustrated, and she is only the second MMA fighter ever to grace the cover of the magazine. She was also labeled the “World’s Most Dominant Athlete.”

That’s obviously an incredible accomplishment for Rousey, and several of her fellow UFC fighters took to Twitter to congratulate her for it.
