Andrade to Magana: 'I volunteer to hit you inside the Octagon'

With Angela Magana's name all over the headlines, it was only a matter of time until someone called her out for an actual professional fight.

"Your Majesty" was involved in a physical altercation with Cris Cyborg at a UFC athlete retreat in Las Vegas this past weekend, and Cyborg's compatriots have stepped up in support of the Brazilian star.

While Cyborg and friend Gabi Garcia are much bigger than Magana - and thus unlikely to be booked against her in a sanctioned match - strawweight contender Jessica Andrade is a perfect fit, and she challenged Magana via Twitter on Wednesday:

Andrade is fresh off of a failed title challenge against Joanna Jedrzejczyk, so facing the lower-ranked Magana would be a considerable step back in competition. But given Magana's newfound notoriety, there could be enough intrigue for the matchmakers to put this one together.
