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. Waterson, a former Invicta FC atomweight champion, is one of the more undersized competitors in the division. Can she overcome size and strength to become a contender?
Let’s break it down and find out who gets a big boost in the UFC on Fox 22 main event.
