A handful of potential UFC stars are on deck Saturday at UFC Fight Night inside Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.Strawweight Paige VanZant possesses all the intangibles of a breakout, mainstream athlete, but at 22, she has plenty of room to grow. Shell face a real test from former Invicta FC titleholder Michelle Waterson. In the co-main event, Sage Northcutt and Mickey Gall will fight over a top prospect tag in the welterweight division. ESPN.com is here to take you deeper into the fights with our UFC Sacramento Cheat Sheet.Paige VanZant (7-2) vs. Michelle Waterson (13-4), strawweightsOdds as of Dec. 14: VanZant -115; Waterson -105For PVZ, nothing gets in the way of fightingIt has been a unique 2016 for VanZant, who took an extended break during the first half of the year to appear on ABCs Dancing With the Stars.According to Urijah Faber, VanZants mentor at Team Alpha Male in Sacramento, there was a slight adjustment period after the show, when VanZant returned to the daily grind of gym life.It definitely took some getting used to, coming back here where no one is looking twice at her, Faber said. Getting back to the grimy life of a fighter, its like you get pulled out of someone bringing your coffee to you, making sure your makeup is OK, to, Oh yeah, this is what I do. I think there was a little bit of a shell shock.Apparently, that adjustment period didnt have a negative effect on VanZant, who scored the most prolific knockout of her career with a jumping switch kick?against Bec Rawlings in August.VanZant still has multiple irons in the fire. She turned down a movie role to prepare for this fight against Waterson and is currently writing an autobiography. Her manager, Mike Roberts, says the No. 1 focus still is -- and will remain -- her fighting career.Right now, nothing gets in the way of fighting, Roberts said. Anything she does has to be done in between fights, only when it makes sense. She wants full training camps for these fights.Waterson versus the worldIt seems like the world has been telling Waterson to give up on fighting for some time now.In 2014, Waterson nearly put her career on hold because the promotion she was with, Invicta FC, wasnt offering her fights and she wanted to have a second child. (Her daughter, Araya, was born in 2011). She eventually chose to continue fighting and was rewarded with a UFC contract and debut fight in 2015.Since that debut, a victory, Waterson has been relegated to the sideline. Multiple bouts fell through due to injury, including a fractured hand in August. It has been a trying few years, to say the least.I just thought the world had it out for me, Waterson said. It didnt want me to succeed. Every time I came up for air, I plummeted down even deeper. Thats how I felt.I have multiple halves. Im not just a fighter. Im also a mother and a wife and those things pull at me. When they do, those are the only times I feel conflicted about my career. But fortunately I have a very supportive husband who is very understanding of my passion in martial arts, who believes in my abilities and what I can accomplish.Waterson was so eager to return to action, she says negotiations for this fight began before she even received medical clearance on her hand. Although she has missed significant time, she has had the benefit of multiple fight camps at Jackson Wink MMA in Albuquerque, New Mexico.It almost feels like Ive had a super camp, Waterson said. I think Paige has come to the sport at the right place and the right time, but as a fighter, I think shes still growing and learning her own style. That can make her dangerous because you dont know what to expect, but Im ready for anything.Key statsPaige VanZant:7-2 record in MMA career (4-1 in UFC)7-0 in career vs fighters outside top 10 in current UFC strawweight rankings (0-2 vs top-10 fighters); Waterson is ranked 11thLands 3.5 significant strikes per minute in UFC career (allows 2.5 significant strikes per minute)Michelle Waterson:13-4 record in MMA career (1-0 in UFC)Won 7 of past 8 fights (1 decision win, 4 submissions, 2 TKO)Outstruck Angela Magana 102-19 on total strikes in UFC debut (according to FightMetric)BreakdownQuestion No. 1: How much weight does experience carry in this fight?VanZant has a relatively good amount of it for a 22-year-old, but she has nothing on Waterson, 30.Expect that to show in multiple aspects of the fight, particularly in grappling exchanges. VanZant grapples with youthful recklessness. Her eagerness to force positions will sometimes place her in bad spots. And against a seasoned competitor like Waterson, who has eight submission finishes in her career, thats dangerous.VanZant is learning, and we saw that in her last bout. The finish was obviously great, but the time leading up to it was telling as well. Rather than rely on her motor and tenacity to create and win scrambles, VanZant stayed on the outside of Rawlings, maintained her patience and showed a willingness to stick to the game plan. It wasnt always pretty, but thats what development looks like.Sometimes, styles match up in a way that makes it easier to predict where a fight will end up. This isnt one of those times. Expect both strawweights to bring a little bit of everything, exchange kicks on the outside, test each others strengths in the clinch and wind up on the ground from time to time. If I had to pick one area that decides this fight, its who wins on the ground.Prediction:?Waterson by third-round submission (rear-naked choke).You make the call:Cedric Paquette Jersey .

Although ahq wasnt able to overcome its constant international tormentor Edward Gaming two days ago, it defeated Europes H2K on opening night and followed it up with a methodical, clean win over Brazils INTZ to end the weekend.ESPN caught up with ahqs Liu Westdoor Shu-Wei following the group-topping win.Many of the players from South Korea are commenting about how incredible the crowd is in America for the World Championships. How does it compare to the crowds for the League Master Series in Taiwan?It feels like the fans from Taiwan are shy and conservative, but it seems like the fans here treat you as [friends] and equals. [America] has more regular fan interaction, so I think thats why.Coming into the tournament, a lot of Western media overlooked ahq as a challenger, and it was consistently ranked near the bottom with the wildcard teams. Do you have anything to say to them after having a strong start to the tournament?The wildcard teams are really great, actually, so no [offense] to that.

Whats the difference between your rookie year and you now in 2016?The first year, I really wanted to prove myself on the world stage. Second year, I wanted to use my experience to lead my team further ... [but] I didnt perform that well. This year I want to make up for it and get my team even further.Last year you did well enough to get all the way to the quarterfinals before meeting SK Telecom T1 and Lee Faker Sang-hyeok and losing in a sweep. If you are able to meet Faker once again, do you believe you can go even or defeat him?This year Faker is still really good, but I think I can bring different skillsets and different champions here to beat him.Finally, do you have anything you want to say to the Taiwanese fans at home supporting your journey through Worlds?Thank you for supporting us even when were down. Your cheers mean a lot to us, and well take that as motivation to keep correcting our mistakes and getting better and better. ' ' '
