Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey poses on Caribbean beach wearing just body paint

Rousey is making her return to the public eye after revealing that she will be focusing on her acting career before returning to the octagon

Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey showed off her prize-fighter body as she posed NAKED on a beach.

Rousey, who lost her bantamweight crown to Holly Holm back in November, was pictured taking part in a photoshoot wearing nothing but a body paint bikini.

The shoot is believed to have taken place in the Bahamas, as Rousey continues her return into the public eye.

She had vowed to stay away from the media following her defeat to Holm in November.

But she is focusing on her acting career and has already confirmed that she will miss the grandstand UFC 200 event.

Earlier this month, Rousey made her first public appearance since her devastating defeat Holm.

The former bantamweight champion was the guest presenter of Saturday Night Live and used her opening monologue to address her loss at UFC 193.

Fight fans around the globe were stunned when a Rousey was knocked out by Holm in Melbourne.

But Rousey, 28, has finally offered her congratulations to Holm – nine weeks after the night took place.

“This is the first time I’m talking to my fans since I lost to Holly Holm in November, which, by the way, was a fight Holly deserved to win,” Rousey said.

“And I just wanted to take a minute to sincerely congratulate her.”

As the audience clapped Rousey, she then waved her arm and shouted “that’s enough” before moving on with the show.

Meanwhile, Holm will make the first defence of her title at UFC 197 in March when she takes on Miesha Tate.

Holm snubbed a rematch with Rousey because she wanted to return to the octagon before the proposed July date.

But now Rousey is not expected to return to the octagon until at least August, meaning that she will miss UFC 200, as she continues to focus on her acting career.
