According to Yahoo Sports, Rousey made the cover for the second time recently and she joined Robert Griffin III, Bryce Harper and Blake Griffin as the other cover athletes. The issue will be out on May 3 and she is the one athlete from MMA to make it after she appeared on the cover of the body issue in 2012 and she has been a pioneer as the first woman champion in UFC.

Rousey will coach on "The Ultimate Fighter" for the next series and she joined the high profile athletes for the cover shoot. Harper has been excellent for the Nationals this season, while Griffin has been the primary reason why the Washington Redskins have been back to relevance, while Blake Griffin has the Clippers in the playoff, although they are down 3-2 to Memphis.
