The UFC returns to Fox with a fun strawweight main event.

Paige VanZant takes on Michelle Waterson in a fight that doesn’t have immediate title implications but gives the victor a platform to state her case for contention.

VanZant is coming off a stunning switch kick knockout over Bec Rawlings, while Waterson returns after more than a year away from the cage.

Stylistically, it’s an intriguing matchup to see how far along VanZant is in her progression and what Waterson has left in the tank.

Let’s break it down and find out who gets a big boost in the UFC on Fox 22 main event.
