Natalia Silva Claims Vacant UFC Flyweight Championship at UFC 332

Natalia Silva captured the vacant UFC women's flyweight championship on Saturday at the Delta Center, earning a unanimous decision victory over Wang Cong. Judges scored the contest 48-47, 48-47, and 49-46 in favor of the Brazilian fighter, who moved to 9-0 inside the Octagon. The title had become vacant following an injury to former champion Valentina Shevchenko.

Silva controlled the early rounds of the bout, notably dropping Wang with a head kick in the second frame. While Wang increased her pressure during the closing minutes, Silva maintained an edge in significant strikes at 109-98 and successfully executed three takedowns. Now 21-5-1, Silva expressed her desire to remain an active champion, though no next opponent has been officially determined.
