Photos from the latest ESPN The Magazine Body Issue have landed, and in this year's issue we get to see Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey in nothing but pink gloves ... possibly our only chance to ever do so without being glared at and having our arms ripped off.
The Body Issue is no stranger to MMA stars in the buff, lest we forget last year's epic Jon 'Bones' Jones naked and peeing into a swimming pool effort. Nobody gets it that badly this year, but some of the more bizarre highlights include a naked jockey letting a horse lick his head, a lady with no legs climbing a rope swing and nude sailboat sailing. Maybe they should change the issue topic from "bodies we want" to "bodies we want doing things we wouldn't be photographed doing with clothes on".
Anyway, after the jump are a few choice shots from the issue (we can't include them all, we want you to visit ESPN for that) including Ronda's full appearance. Naked horse-licked jockey not included.
(you're welcome)

It is safe to say I am feeling very Olympic right now
One would even say, you are “rising” for upcoming Olympics….
It’s nice to see ESPN is covering their bases with the sexual diversity. Some fine ladies for the hetero dudes and lesbians , Gronk for the ladies and gay guys, with Wambach for the Subaru drivers.
Gronk should have been allowed to appear in his Zubaz.
It’s a good thing Howdy Honda Housey medalled (bronze counts!) or that rings tattoo might have ended up embarrassing!
Cauliflower ear, would not bang.
Ugly, would not bang
Arousey? Yes, she is.
For some reason, the edition I got in the mail today (because Insider for two years for $4 is worth bathroom reading material every 2 weeks) had Gronk on the cover. My family has asked me a lot of questions today, coincidentally.
Hope Solo doesn’t do steroids, it was a diuretic.
Do the pictures cut off just before they get to her lady parts for anyone else?
…Where am I?
