In her recent post to Instagram, UFC starlet Paige VanZant has taken an indirect, but pretty clear, shot at UFC heavyweight Curtis Blaydes after he criticized female fighters for getting by on their looks.

Blaydes caused controversy when he stated that certain female fighters were only being promoted based on their looks, rather than their abilities inside the cage.
