Wang Cong Attributes Slow UFC 332 Start to Early Eye Injury

Natalia Silva captured the vacant UFC women's flyweight championship by defeating Wang Cong via unanimous decision in the main event of UFC 332 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. The title was previously held by Valentina Shevchenko.

In a social media statement following the loss, Wang stated that she suffered an eye poke to her right eye during the first round. She indicated the injury caused vision issues and prevented her from finding her rhythm early in the contest. While Wang managed to increase her offensive output in the fifth round, she acknowledged that her late-fight rally was insufficient to overcome the initial deficit. She expressed intentions to evaluate her performance and return to competition in the future.
