First came this Instagram by swimsuit edition editor MJ Day.

Ronda Rousey may be the Obi-Wan Kenobi of MMA: Strike her down, and she will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Rousey, 28, has kept a low profile since losing her title in a knockout at the fists of Holly Holm in November.

It was one of the biggest upsets in the history of the UFC, with underdog Holm sensationally knocking Rousey out.

Rousey has parlayed her star status into a number of movie roles, including “Furious 7” and “Entourage” and will be seen next in “Road House”.

In April 2013 the mixed martial artist revealed her new Kodokan flower Judo emblem inking on her right wrist, and UFC Octagon on her left, courtesy of tattoo artist, Hilmar Ramos.

When she’s not preparing for her next fight, you can bet Rousey if prepping for her January 23 “Saturday Night Live” hosting duties.

Of course, this is just one peek at Ronda’s body paint covered figure.

After the bout, Rousey posted a message to her fans, saying: “I just wanted to thank everyone for the love and support”.

The controversial fighter has gone all out for the magazine's annual swimsuit edition wearing nothing but just paint
