— -- Over the past few years, Ronda Rousey has been a major force in helping women's sports take a giant leap forward. Her latest move doesn't exactly help that cause, but it definitely draws more attention to her. So there's that.

The former UFC champ posed (again) for Sports Illustrated's upcoming swimsuit issue. And this year she took her participation to another level by rocking body paint instead of a traditional bathing suit. A few pictures from the shoot were leaked ahead of the magazine's February release, and one is below.

While I'm genuinely glad everyone loves Rousey as much as we do, I can't help but be a little disappointed by this decision. But at the end of the day, it's her choice, so go on and live your truth, Ronda.
