There's probably no word more overused in the modeling world than "fierce," but how else to describe a shoot with one of the baddest fighters in the UFC's strawweight division?

Michelle Waterson is the latest MMA fighter to be selected for ESPN's annual Body Issue and a short clip of her posing in the buff was released on Wednesday.

A former model, "The Karate Hottie" was all smiles when she mentioned the shoot on her Instagram:

#tbt to that one time I shot for #espnbodyissue 🤗🤗🤗 #espnbodyissue2017
