Natalia Silva Parade Sees Low Turnout Following UFC 332 Title Win

Natalia Silva secured the vacant UFC women’s flyweight championship last weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah, defeating Wang Cong over five rounds at UFC 332. The victory extended Silva's current UFC winning streak to nine consecutive fights.

Despite her success inside the Octagon, footage emerged this week showing Silva riding in the back of a truck during a hometown parade in Brazil with no fans present to celebrate the event. The title fight was established after former champion Valentina Shevchenko vacated the belt due to injury.

UFC 332 set a promotional record with 11 total knockouts on the card, though Silva's championship bout went the distance. Reports suggest the UFC moved to fill the vacant flyweight title specifically to headline the Salt Lake City event.
