The incircle of $\triangle ABC$ tangents $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ at $D$, $E$, $F$, respectively. The projections of $B$, $C$ to $AD$ are $U$, $V$, respectively; the projections of $C$, $A$ to $BE$ are $W$, $X$, respectively; and the projections of $A$, $B$ to $CF$ are $Y$, $Z$, respectively. Show that the circumcircle of the triangle formed by $UX$, $VY$, $WZ$ is tangent to the incircle of $\triangle ABC$.
