Ronda Rousey Named Cover Girl for Sports Illustrated's 2016 Swimsuit Issue

Ronda Rousey may have lost her UFC belt, but she remains as popular as ever.  Rousey is featured on one of the three Sports Illustrated Swimsuit covers. 

It is the first time in SI Swimsuit history that there are three covers.  Rousey is featured in a bodypaint bikini on the cover that was released through a TNT special Saturday night. 

The magazine will be out officially on Monday.  Even after her loss, Rousey has been the topic of conversation and most recently hosted Saturday Night Live. 

There is a likely chance that she gets a rematch with Holly Holm for the Women's Bantamweight belt before the end of the year.  Rousey is currently 13-1 as a pro, with 11 of her wins coming in the first round. 

Four times she has garnered Performance of the Night honors while nine of her fights have been won by her signature armbar move.  She has won the ESPY for Best Female Athlete two years in a row.

Rousey originally starred in judo, becoming the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in the sport with a bronze in 2008.  Her star has risen ever since with great success in the Octagon and growing appeal in the world of entertainment.
