Ronda Rousey’s appearance in ESPN’s Body Issue can be seen below. Obvious warning: She isn’t wearing any clothes.Rousey, the Strikeforce women’s 135-pound champion and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, is one of 6 athletes ESPN decided to put on a cover of this year’s issue.

Figured I’d give you one last chance to make sure no one is behind you. In the meantime, here are some pictures of Rousey in a bodysuit for a promo shoot for her upcoming fight against Sarah Kaufman on August 18th.

Seems to me that all these Body Issue posts could have been combined into a single slideshow.

Gina Carano Topless In ESPN’s Body Issue

This picture is ridiculous. The photoshopping would make Playboy blush. It looks like anime.

OH SHIT SHE’S FLICKING OFF THE CAMERA SHE’S SO EDGY SPORT OF THE FUTURE!

Now if you’ll excuse me I have to get back to celebrating the human body by airbrushing the shit out of each picture.

Are we going to have a post for every woman in The Body issue? ‘Cause I can totally get behind that.

Also, after displaying that tattoo seen at the bottom of the third pic, Rowdy can expect a letter from the IOC’s lawyers.

If you’re being sincere, check ESPN.com. If you’re being sarcastic, well played.

It is my understanding that TBL despises slideshows and I don’t recall seeing any. I had been away for a couple weeks so maybe I missed something.

In that bottom right picture, CRM has the same pink hand wrappings. He likes them as it allows him to text, overload twitter timelines AND keep his hands warm and presumably moisturized.

TBL joked that the mobile site and slideshows were coming in the fall.

it is my understanding that TBL despises us and will be instituting slideshows because we’re assholes.

I assume by saying “joked” that you are joking.

I wonder if ESPN allows subscribers the chance the “opt out” of the Body Issue the way SI has to let the crazies opt out of the Swimsuit Issue.

Also, every post will become sponsored, with comments off.

It is my understanding that slideshows, the mobile site, and Yardwok mentions are despised by TBL.

My understanding may be incorrect. TBL has never been the best with conveying sarcasm. That is CRM’s and TSH’s wheelhouse.

Wait, so when he tweeted THIS, it wasn’t a joke? WTF?

Have them send the extras to me. It will help keep my hands warm.

Well, at least one hand.

yea, but you can use the other hand to strip the mags into kindling and the friction from your furious masturbation to spark that shit up. pretty sure macguyver did that once.
