We’re not sure if these were supposed to be released or what*, but CP reader Travis S. found two more nude photos from Miesha Tate‘s “ESPN Body Issue” shoot buried deep within ESPN’s website, and we just had to share them. (The second one is after the jump.) As you can see, the photo above shows a much-more generous helping of ass-crack than the first “Body Issue” photo of Tate that was released over the weekend, and the one below is of the classic hand-bra style, with those pink wraps mysteriously missing. They’re all shot from the same profile angle, but who knows, maybe there’s a more varied selection out there somewhere. So keep searching, perverts!
* If they weren’t supposed to be released, there’s no need to sue us, ESPN lawyers. A simple cease-and-desist will do just fine.

Other athletes appearing nude in this year’s “Body Issue” include Matt Harvey, Colin Kaepernick, Kenneth Faried, Kerri Walsh Jennings, Giancarlo Stanton, Swin Cash, John Wall, Vernon Davis, John Isner, Sydney Leroux (Schwing!), Carly Booth, Joffrey Lupul, Elena Hight, Agnieszka Radwanska, Chris Sharma, Daila Ojeda, Marlen Esparza, Tarah Gieger and 77-year-old Gary Player.
(Beneath that skin-tight cat suit lies a quiet, innocent girl who just wants some alone time. And beneath her lies a limb-destroying human bear trap.)
Have you ever wondered what it must be like behind-the-scenes of a staredown for a fight promo? Surely the tension must be insurmountable, with members of each fighter’s crew present on set to separate the two between each take. Well, if the latest Showtime episode of All Access: Ronda Rousey is any indication, the fighters actually choose to discuss how bad they smell to one another, all the while trying to remain serious while the camera is rolling.
Challenger Sarah Kaufman is the first to break the ice, declaring that her “left armpit smells,” whereas Ronda admits that she probably smells “like leprosy” as a result of her catsuit-clad antics she participated in just moments before. We know, we know, you all just went from six to midnight.
Anyway, so begins the second episode of All Access, which delves further into the training strategies of both the champion and the challenger. Where Rousey is content to hit the pads with Richard Perez in between sessions at Team Cesar Gracie, Kaufman prefers to just bang on the drum kit a little and punch bitches in the face. An interesting, if not unorthodox strategy.
And things get really interesting around the six-minute mark, where Ronda receives the first copies of her ESPN “The Body” Issue. Even she seems impressed by her own hotness, as well as the fact that ESPN showed far more butt than she expected (Author’s note: Thanks guys, it’s good to know all those “incentives” we sent you were not in vain.)

Ronda immediately shows the magazine to her mother for approval, who in turn crushes the hopes and dreams of millions of Americans by asking “So this is the most naked you’re going to get, right?” Ronda agrees, but when watching the behind-the-scenes video of her shoot on Youtube, finds that if you pause it at just the right moment, you can totally see a boob in there. Her reaction is less than ecstatic. Seriously, she breaks into tears on multiple occasions, with only a text from Dana White being able to talk her off the ledge.
All Access also takes a look back at Kaufman’s brief, yet terrifying reign as the bantamweight champion, which was highlighted by a vicious third round KO via slam of Roxanne Modafferi, and much, much, more, so check out the episode below and let us know what you think.
Rousey vs. Kaufman goes down in just two days, people, so who you got?
(No, this is not the ‘All Access’ video, but rather a behind-the-scenes video of her ESPN ‘The Body’ shoot. Go ahead and complain. I DARE YOU.)
“Everything you need in a fighter, she has, yet she’s a woman and she’s beautiful. The Ronda Rousey package is different than any other package we’ve ever seen.”
So says UFC President Dana White as he leads us into Showtime’s “All Access” look at the Strikeforce women’s bantamweight champion, Olympic Judo bronze medalist, and occasional TMZ host Ronda Rousey, who in just over two years has managed to almost effortlessly ascend to the sport’s highest level. And it’s hard to deny that “Rowdy” is an athlete unlike many, if not all of her counterparts — a hot female Jon Jones if you will — whose “kill or be killed” outlook on life (and aforementioned looks) has led her to achieve massive success in easily the most overlooked facet of MMA. We’re talking of course, about the ladies.
Detailing everything from Rousey’s heated title-earning feud with Meisha Tate (Spoiler: It ended like all of Rousey’s fights do) to her (gulp) nude shoot for ESPN’s The Body issue to her preparation for her upcoming title defense against Sarah Kaufman, “All Access” truly lives up to it’s name. Showtime takes us inside the champion’s house, which looks like an average episode of Hoarders, and snags interviews with everyone from Gina Carano, who Ronda admits convinced her to drop trau for ESPN in the first place (as if we needed to thank Gina for anything else) to former HooknShoot Grand Prix winner Julie Kedzie.
