Ronda Rousey Smokin' Hot Swimsuit Pics

Bench press never looked so good.

Here's UFC badass Ronda Rousey all posed up in a bathing suit in the middle of the desert ... showing off her ridiculous physique for Self magazine.

Besides looking insanely hot, Rousey told the mag she's laser focused on her upcoming UFC 193 fight with Holly Holm because she wants to secure her legacy as one of the best fighters EVER.

"I want my name to be mentioned along with Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali," Rousey said in the article that hits new stands on Oct. 27th ... "and I don’t want the word woman to be in front of champion."

Yeah, well, if she keeps fighting like she's been fighting ... don't think that'll be a problem.
