Each year ESPN Magazine selects a number of prominent male and female sporting stars to feature in tasteful nude poses for it’s special ‘Body Issue’ which is apparently designed to celebrate their athletic form.
Previously MMA stars Gina Carano and Jon Jones have graced the pages of the issue and in 2012 it’s Strikeforce star Ronda Rousey who’ll get the honor.
No doubt you’re all anxious to see the photo of Rousey in her birthday suit doing her best to hide her hidden charms in some sort of complex pose, but hold your horses, it hasn’t been revealed yet! The magazine is set to hit stores on July 13th.
