The official Sports Illustrated website has released the following video of Rousey's S.I. shoot: "The media directed at men with women is what women pay attention to the most," said Rousey. "When it came to what standard I gave myself growing up and what I thought that I should look like, I was looking at the women that I could see the men I wanted found attractive. I thought if this is what the guys I like, then I should look like that. The ‘Sports Illustrated' Swimsuit Issue wasn't like ‘Playboy' or all those others. It wasn't so fake and plastic."
