Professional WWE fighter Ronda Rousey landed on the front of the 2016 SI Swimsuit Issue just one year after her stunning ’15 debut in Florida. She participated in two body painting features—one in Petit St. Vincent, and another in Great Exuma, Bahamas—during her cover year with photographer Frederic Pinet and artist Joanne Gair. 

Rousey went to the Beijing Olympics for judo in ’08, where she won a bronze medal. Four years later, she appeared on the cover of ESPN The Magazine’s annual Body Issue. The 36-year-old won UFC’s first-ever female fight that same year.

Below are seven of our favorite photos from her 2015 SI Swimsuit photo shoot in Captiva, Fla.
