UFC star Paige VanZant appeared to be in high spirits Tuesday afternoon, despite breaking her arm Sunday night at UFC 124 fight night against Jessica-Rose Clark.

It seems like she’s going to bounce back just fine. (SLIDESHOW: These Are The Sexiest Paige VanZant Photos On The Internet)

The fighter known as “12 Gauge” posted a photo of herself kissing a dog, and captioned the photo, “Hard to be sad when I have these babies loving on me.” (SLIDESHOW: These Are The Greatest Ronda Rousey Photos On The Internet)

It’s crazy to think that VanZant broke her arm in the first round, and proceeded to finish the fight by pretty much only throwing kicks. (SLIDESHOW: These Women On Instagram Hate Wearing Clothes)

Say whatever you want about VanZant, but I don’t think anybody can deny that she fought with the spirit of a lion in that octagon. (SLIDESHOW: 142 Times Josephine Skriver Barely Wore Anything)

I would probably just crumble and die if I broke my arm in a fight. She took the hit and kept fighting. There’s something you just have to respect about that kind of spirit. (SLIDESHOW: 60 Times Abigail Ratchford Wore Almost Nothing)

Hopefully she bounces back and this isn’t the end of her fighting career. She’s too electric to call it quits already. (SLIDESHOW: All The Times Lindsey Pelas Stripped Down On Instagram)
