Wang Cong's Bold Prediction for Natalia Silva Title Fight at UFC 332

Wang Cong aims to establish herself as a prominent figure at UFC 332.

Cong is slated to headline the event in Utah against Natalia Silva for the vacant women’s flyweight championship. The title became available when Valentina Shevchenko relinquished it due to injury, creating an opportunity for Cong and Silva to compete for the belt.

Despite being the underdog, Cong expresses strong self-assurance. She believes her striking prowess exceeds Silva's, anticipating a stoppage win.

“I believe my opponent Natalia is the most challenging fighter I've encountered in the UFC. Her ranking reflects this. She excels at controlling distance and employing kicks. Her footwork is particularly intelligent,” Cong stated during UFC 332 Countdown. …

“I can adjust to her tactics. Therefore, I will outstrike her on the feet. I feel I control the fight more effectively. I'm more composed. The key is to fight intelligently, secure the victory, and if an opening presents itself during the rounds, I will certainly finish her.”

Silva represents the most significant challenge of Cong's career, and defeating her will not be straightforward. However, a victory would serve as a significant statement for Cong, solidifying her claim as the rightful champion.

Cong holds a professional record of 10 wins and 1 loss, with a 5-1 record in the UFC. Her most recent bout was a decision win over Tracy Cortez, a career-defining victory that positioned her as a flyweight title contender.
