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.
