PAIGE VANZANT has hit back at Curtis Blaydes after he claimed “sex appeal” is still the only thing keeping her relevant.
The UFC heavyweight, 29, caused a stir when he claimed the American stunner and Rachel Ostovich are still fighting because “they look good in bikinis”.
He said: “So you telling me Paige Vanzant and Rachel Osto-whatever actually deserve time remain on the UFC’s roster for their athletic achievements and their not just on cards for their sex appeal?
“Cause if I’m wrong about that then I guess the whole premise of my original statement is wrong and I apologise.
“But if you’re a legit fan of MMA you couldn’t possibly believe the two females I mentioned are on the roster for anything other than the fact they look good in bikinis.”
But flyweight fighter VanZant has hit back at his comments as she shared a picture of herself squaring up with Ostovich before their fight last year.
Alongside the image, the 26-year-old wrote: “Good thing we’re so pretty.
“It’s going to make when we punch each other in the face hurt a lot less… but that much HOTTER.”
American star Ostovich, 29, could not contain her laughter as she commented: “Muahahahahahahahaha.”
Fellow UFC star Pearl Gonzales added: “Facts! Beauty Queens!!!”
Blaydes also accused Gonzales of keeping herself relevant by sharing bikini pics despite having “terrible” technique.

He said: “Yeah I know of Pearl, she’s another one who’s not a very good fighter but stays relevant because she’s constantly posting bikini training pics.
“Her skills are exactly what they were five years ago as a brawler with terrible footwork and decent grappling.”
VanZant and husband Austin Vanderford have been keeping themselves amused in lockdown by doing naked photoshoots.
