Paige VanZant is the UFC's resident sweetheart, but you better watch out when you encroach on her territory.
The strawweight star appeared on "FOX Sports Live" on Wednesday, and she had some harsh words for Buffalo Bills backup quarterback Cardale Jones, who happens to share VanZant's nickname "12 Gauge."
VanZant challenged Jones to fight for the moniker and to his credit, he did not back down.
Hold on now @PaigeVanzantUFC it's only ONE #12Gauge and we BOTH know it's me. https://t.co/z2pQ2VBciA

Jones earned the nickname in college due to his prodigious arm strength and his wearing of No. 12.
On the other side is VanZant, who is known for her fondness for hunting as well as her explosive style inside the Octagon.
From the sound of it, VanZant is ready to sack Jones if it means she can keep the "12 Gauge" name.
