Paige VanZant wasn’t about to back to down after a controversial MMA fighter accused her of cheating on her husband.

It all started after VanZant called out grappler Dillon Danis and said he’s not “a real fighter” during an interview for her coming Misfits boxing match against Elle Brooke.

“My bad, I triggered you,” VanZant said in a video posted on social media. “I understand that hurt your feelings.”

But instead of coming back at her and calling out her fighting skills, Danis took to X with a post of his own, writing, “How fast they forget! Haha, relax, Paigey baby, just because I didn’t wife you doesn’t mean you have to be petty.

“Don’t make me bring up our two trips to Vegas and ruin your marriage.”

The implication that anything happened between the two of them set VanZant off and the UFC star-turned-OnlyFans model accused Danis of shooting himself in the foot (though it a much more expletive-filled way).

“You kind of f***ed yourself, right? You backed yourself into a corner because now you have to come with proof of this ‘alleged affair,’ right?”

VanZant recalled the only time ever seeing him in Las Vegas was when he approached her at a bar at the UFC athlete retreat and she laughed in his face after he asked her in front of other fighters to “peg” him.

“That’s not the definition of a relationship, is it?” she asked sarcastically.

“And starting drama on the Internet, trying to fight my husband (Austin Vanderford), there’s definitely better ways you can handle that.”

VanZant’s rant came after Vanderford responded to Danis’ challenge, posting on Instagram, “Dillon, guy… let’s just fight. Paige’s comments seemed to upset you. We are the same weight. We can box or do whatever you want.”

The 30-year-old went on to list the “three things” Vanderford has Danis won’t ever have: “One, a wife. Two, friends. And three, a real MMA resume.”

She concluded her rant: “So Dillon, I’m sorry I hurt your feelings but when you’re a piece of s**t like you are, it’s pretty f***ing easy. Have a good one!”

Danis is probably best known for his rivalry with Logan Paul, after he hyped up their boxing match last year by sharing sexually explicit images of the former YouTuber’s fiancée, model Nina Agdal, on social media.

Agdal filed a lawsuit against Danis and was granted a temporary restraining order.
