Step aside Hannah Davis! There's a new Sports Illustrated swimsuit model people can't stop talking about.
No, it's not because of her itsy-bitsy bikini. And no she doesn't have a scandalous past. Instead, Ronda Rousey is the first MMA fighter to grace the sexy issue and make a powerful statement in the process.
"I hope that the impression that everyone that sees the next Sports Illustrated swimsuit is that strong and healthy is the new sexy," she revealed in a behind-the-scenes video just released on the magazine's website. "[Also] that the standard of women's bodies is going into a realistic and socially healthy direction."
The important message comes from a UFC champion who wasn't exactly sure what to do when the photoshoots began near the beach. After all, she's used to a hobby called martial arts.
