As she mentioned on social media recently, Paige VanZant does indeed have a fight set.

VanZant will headline the upcoming UFC on FOX 22 event in Sacramento opposite former Invicta FC atomweight champion Michelle Waterson. UFC president Dana White announced the bout on “UFC Tonight” Wednesday.

A member of the Sacramento-based Team Alpha Male camp, VanZant (7-2) will be trying to build on her recent finish of Bec Rawlings. The youngster – and runner-up on “Dancing with the Stars” earlier this year – is 4-1 overall inside the Octagon, losing only to top contender Rose Namajunas.

Waterson (13-4) owns just one UFC fighter under her belt, a win over Angela Magana, as injuries have kept “The Karate Hottie” on the sidelines. She is returning from a 17-month layoff this December when she takes on VanZant.

UFC on FOX 22 also includes Mickey Gall vs. Sage Northcutt on December 17 from the Golden 1 Center.

Top prospect Paige VanZant will once again be headlining a UFC event, and this time, it comes on big FOX. UFC President Dana White announced on Wednesday’s episode of UFC Tonight on FOX Sports 1 that VanZant will be fighting Michelle Waterson in the main event of UFC on FOX 22.

“The main event for the card is Paige VanZant vs. ‘The Karate Hottie,” White said. “My team is going to kill me.”

VanZant (7-2) is currently on a one fight winning streak and is 2-1 in her last three bouts. She is coming off a second round TKO victory over Bec Rawlings at UFC on FOX 21.

Meanwhile, Waterson (13-4) debuted in the UFC with a submission win over Angela Magana at The Ultimate Fighter 21 Finale in July 2015. She was supposed to fight Aisling Daly at September’s UFC Fight Night 93 event but had to pull out of the bout due to injury. Waterson will now return after a 17-month layoff from the world famous octagon.

The full bout order for this event has yet to be determined. UFC on FOX 22 takes place on December 17th at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. The prelims will air on UFC Fight Pass and FOX while the main card will air on FOX. Here is the updated card for the event:

UFC strawweight prospect Paige VanZant is proving to be one of the most popular young fighters today. The 22-year old Team Alpha Male star may be short in the tooth in terms of fights, but her notoriety is growing. Since joining the UFC in 2014, ’12 Gauge’ has gone 4-1 with only one win going to the judge’s scorecards. In her last bout ‘PVZ’ scored one of the most beautiful knockout finishes in recent memory.

Facing Australia’s Bec Rawlings at UFC on FOX 21, VanZant hoped to bounce back from the 2015 loss to Rose Namajunas. Since that time ’12 Gauge’ had starred in the popular TV show ‘Dancing With The Stars.’ Was the bright faced starlet going to leave her fighting career behind? With the lights and cameras beckoning, VanZant put a stamp on her comeback. After a nine-month absence, ‘PVZ’ wrecked Rawling’s two-fight win streak with a switch kick knockout.

She’s Back!

The win did more than prove VanZant still wanted to fight, it showed she is back and better than ever before. Winning her first performance of the night bonus of $50K, ’12 Gauge’ now has a number of interesting fights to look ahead to. That said, she’s not done with the glitz and glamour just yet. Following the success of her stint on ‘DWTS,’ VanZant is keeping her thumb in a few pies.

Popular TV magician Criss Angel has scooped up ‘PVZ’ for an appearance on his show. Here’s a little sneak preview of his trick featuring VanZant. In a twist on an old classic, VanZant gets split, with a ‘walking dead’ feel. WARNING: It gets a little graphic, but hey, it’s all fake, right?

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of medical suspension Paige VanZant receives after being torn in half like that. Stay tuned for the news of VanZant’s next UFC fight as and when it is announced.
