Ronda Rousey is building herself a nice little modeling career when she’s not beating up people in the Octagon.
The UFC star is featured in this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, with photos of her debut in the yearly magazine being released Monday.

Rousey’s SI appearance can be added to her growing list of modeling accolades. She also appeared in ESPN The Magazine’s “The Body Issue” in 2013. Additionally, Rousey was featured on the cover and inside the pages of Maxim in the summer of 2013.
Rousey’s modeling career could end up being a big part of her post-fighting life. So, too, could her new acting career.
“I love fighting and it’s my passion and it’s the reason Hollywood took an interest in me at all, but I’m no dummy,” she told USA TODAY’s For the Win blog. “I know there’s a short shelf life in the sport, and I don’t want to be left out like I was after the Olympics with no options. I need to have a new grand goal to go after because when I have no goal is when I get depressed and I’m not letting that happen again.”
It’s pretty clear she won’t have to worry about that when it’s all said and done.
