Ronda Rousey brought out her fiercest energy during her SI Swimsuit debut in Captiva, Fla. The model, who landed the magazine’s cover the following year, was first photographed by Walter Iooss Jr. in 2015.

The 2008 judo Olympic champion showed off her fighting skills with a series of hooks, jabs, crosses and punches while on location in Florida, and SI Swimsuit caught all the behind-the-scenes footage on camera.

“Ronda Rousey brought out something special for her SI Swimsuit photoshoot #rondarousey #ufc,” the official magazine’s TikTok account captioned a throwback video posted on Wednesday.

“Ronda Rousey‘s SI Swimsuit shoot was a little different than the rest,” read the on-screen text.

Sounds of a camera shutter rapidly going off and members of the SI Swimsuit team cheering and clapping were heard in the background.

“GOAT!!” someone commented.

“Such a babe,” one fan wrote. “Was in a class by herself for a long time.”

“She looks fabulous,” another complimented.

“Still my favorite female fighter of ALL TIME,” someone else gushed. “FOREVER THE CHAMP.”

Rousey is signed to WWE and is part of the brand’s Women’s Tag Team Championship.
