Dana White Misidentifies UFC 332 Title Challenger's Record

Published

The story

Ahead of Saturday's UFC 332 main event in Salt Lake City, Dana White discussed the path to the vacant women's flyweight title. During media sessions, he credited Wang Cong with wins over Rose Namajunas, Jessica Andrade, and Alexa Grasso. These victories actually belong to Natalia Silva, who holds an 8-0 UFC record and a 14-fight winning streak.

White correctly noted Cong's 10-1 MMA record and her 2015 kickboxing victory over Valentina Shevchenko. However, the misattribution of Silva’s high-profile wins drew swift criticism from fans online. The UFC 332 headliners are competing for the belt recently vacated due to Shevchenko's injury, with Silva entering the contest as the betting favorite against the contender from China.
