Picking & Grinning: UFC on Fox 22 ‘VanZant vs. Waterson’


Paige VanZant and Michelle Waterson want a more prominent place in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s women’s strawweight pecking order.

Team Alpha Male’s VanZant will face Waterson in the UFC on Fox 22 main event on Saturday at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. Meanwhile, the once-beaten Sage Northcutt confronts the undefeated Mickey Gall in the welterweight co-headliner. The rest of the four-fight main card features a bantamweight clash pitting retiring former World Extreme Cagefighting champion Urijah Faber against Brad Pickett and a welterweight affair matching Alan Jouban with Mike Perry.
