The “Face of Female Mixed Martial Arts”" Gina Carano is one of six athletes that will grace the six different covers of ESPN The Magazine’s “The Body Issue”.
Looking by the cover preview where Gina is posing topless, this is going to be a hot issue as well.
The other athletes featured in the cover are Serena Williams (tennis), Dwight Howard (NBA), Adrian Peterson (NFL), Carl Edwards (NASCAR), and Sarah Reinertsen (amputee Ironman triathlete).
This will be the magazine’s first ever “The Body Issue” featuring 30 male and female athletes posing nude or semi-nude. It is hoping to follow the success of Sports Illustrated’s “Swimsuit Issue”.
UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture is the other MMA fighter included in the issue.
Watch out for our very own Philipino boxing icon Manny Paquiao‘s page too.
Here are the other athletes included:
James Blake (tennis)
Casey Hampton, Torry Holt (NFL)
Cappie Pondexter (WNBA)
Nelson Cruz, Joba Chamberlain and Ivan Rodriguez (MLB)
Zdeno Chara, Chris Higgins, Sheldon Souray, Bill Guerin, Mike Komisarek (NHL)
Carl Edwards, Mark Martin (NASCAR)
Jessica Mendoza, Susan Francia, Shawn Johnson, Allison Baver, Johnny Weir, Cheryl Haworth (Olympics)
Christina Kim, Sandra Gal, Anna Grzebien (LPGA)
