China's Wang Cong, 34, will fight Brazil's Natalia Silva for the vacant UFC women's flyweight title at UFC 332 in Salt Lake City on Saturday, after Valentina Shevchenko vacated the belt through injury. Cong, who is ranked sixth and on a four-fight win streak, brushed off fan criticism over her selection for the main event, saying critics will "shut up" after the fight. A win would make her only the second Chinese UFC champion after former strawweight titleholder Zhang Weili (China's first UFC champion) and mark the first women's main event in the promotion since January 2025.
