Natalia Silva Tabbed as Underdog for Potential Shevchenko Clash

Natalia Silva captured the vacant UFC flyweight championship at UFC 332 in Salt Lake City after securing a unanimous decision win over Wang Cong. Following her title win, the promotion is reportedly considering a future matchup against former division champion Valentina Shevchenko or former titleholder Alex Grasso.

Early betting lines have opened for both potential matchups. Silva enters as a +165 underdog against Shevchenko, who is currently favored at -190. Conversely, if matchmakers pair Silva with Grasso, the Brazilian champion is listed as a -300 favorite against Grasso’s +250 return. The eventual booking remains subject to Shevchenko's recovery from a previous injury that vacated the title.
