Ronda Rousey has been the face of women’s mixed martial arts and has provided some fantastic gif-worthy moments during her time in the spotlight.
If you are a gay man or a straight woman, watching a bunch of guys in perfect shape disrobe to their underoos and flex can have a distinct appeal. If you are a gay woman or a straight man, the same is true when women’s MMA fighters weigh in.
There is for many an undeniable sexual appeal to watching someone of the sex you are attracted to stripping down and displaying themselves.
8) Time to make weight
7) Beach boxing
Ronda Rousey has posed the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue two times and the first time provided this awesome GIF from a a behinds the scenes clip.
Even in just a small black bikini, Rousey found time for a workout out the beach showing off her shadowboxing.
Rousey also most recently appeared in the latest issue of the sport’s magazines issue, wearing nothing but body paint.
6) On the scale
Making weight is an important part of every fighter’s job. Fighters often walk around fifteen to twenty pounds heavier than their contract fight weight.
Ronda Rousey fights in the UFC’s bantamweight division, but has said she walks around at a hundred and fifty pounds. Fighters are often dehydrated on the day of the weigh-in, but also lean as they will be, often resulting in an appealing look.
And nobody hates a weigh-in event for a UFC women’s bout.
5) ‘Furious’ fighting
On top of being one of the UFC’s most popular athletes, Rousey has also transitioned to acting and had some been featured in some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbuster franchises including The Expendables and Fast & Furious.
In this fight scene from Fast & Furious 7, an evening gown clad Rousey fights series star Michelle Rodriguez. Something just screams erotic about two women dressed their best duking it out.
4) Lollipop, lollipop, oh a lollipop
In a behind the scenes from her shoot for ESPN’s ‘Body Issue’ Rousey took the chance to grab some candy. Something is undeniably sexy about a girl with a lollipop.
Rousey appeared in the 2012 Body issue in which stars athletes posed completely nude, albeit at angles to hid their naughty bits. ESPN developed the issue to highlight the beauty and strength of some of the world’s top athletes.
3) Battle ropes
Ronda Rousey is known to be a beast in the gym. Training for a mixed martial arts fights includes technical work in multiple martial arts, sparring, and intense strength and conditioning.
Battle ropes are a full cardio-vascular and upper body muscle workout and are a popular part of many high-levels fighter’s workout routine.
2) Best Van Damme
Ronda Rousey first appeared in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in 2015 and was the first ever mixed martial artist to appear in the issue.
Although Rousey is not known as a striker, her judo background has given her an incredible sense of balance making it easier for her to strike a pose like this.
Jean Claud Van Damme would be proud.
1) Punching till it’s over
Maybe nothing is sexier than watching Ronda Rousey do that she does best, and that is win a fight. Until her most recent fight, Rousey was undefeated in her mixed martial arts career and the women’s bantamweight champion.
One of her most impressive UFC title defenses came against Alexis Davis at UFC 175. The two meet in the center of the cage, Rousey landed her patented judo throw and just punched until the referee stopped the fight at just sixteen seconds of the first round.
Shockingly, it was NOT her fastest win in a UFC title fight.
