Looking forward to the Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition this year? Well you’re in luck, because the issue will feature not one or two but three separate covers — the first time in 52 years of the publication’s history. Familiar face Ronda Rousey will make up 1/3 of the set, while the other covers will feature plus-sized model Ashley Graham and Gucci model Hailey Clauson.

Check out the covers above and watch the announcement video below.
