UPDATE:

It looks like we're going to see a whole new side of Ronda Rousey in this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.

The magazine sent out a tweet early Thursday alerting followers that Rousey would indeed be appearing in its pages for a second straight year. But in news that's sure to excite a large portion of her fans, this time around all she'll be wearing is body paint. 

Rousey took to Instagram to share the news with her 7.3 million followers.

 

Our original post...

Happy New Year, Ronda Rousey fans.

The UFC lightning rod is kicking off 2016 in rather cheeky fashion after a picture of her in nothing but body paint surfaced on the Instagram account of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit editor M.J. Day.

 

Rousey has been laying low since her loss to Holly Holm in December, but you can't keep a good girl down for long apparently. It was announced Tuesday that Rousey will host Saturday Night Live later this month and after appearing in the pages of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition last year, it looks like the 28-year-old will be back in the celebrated mag for a second straight year.
