By the look of the fabulous sunrise photos from Ronda Rousey’s 2015 SI Swimsuit photoshoot, you wouldn’t know that she was contending with the cold weather during an early morning in Captiva, Fla. But she was, and she did it with grace and beauty, too. 

Rousey had traveled to the Sunshine State with photographer Walter Iooss Jr. and the rest of the team for a full day of posing in the beautiful and sunny—but cold—coastal town. Despite the challenge, the professional wrestler brought her game face to the set of her tropical feature, posing in a series of black swimsuits that couldn’t be described in any way other than utterly powerful.

The now 36-year-old had the chance to put her power on display on the beaches, rather than in the ring, and she capitalized on it. She was just as pleased with the way that the day progressed as we were.

“‘Chasing the light’ last shot of the day,” she captioned an Instagram photo of herself crouching on the beach at sunset. “Literally worked from sunrise to sundown, was an honor working with the ‘veteran crew’ I had an amazing day thanks to you guys.”

Rousey was as much a force to be reckoned with on the beach in Florida as she was in the UFC octagon. Below are just a few of the photos from her trip to the sunny destination that prove her absolute talent and beauty.
