Natalia Silva and Wang Cong meet for interim title at UFC 332

UFC 332 will feature the first interim title fight in the history of women’s UFC divisions. Natalia Silva and Wang Cong are scheduled to compete for the interim women’s flyweight championship at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City on October 3. The matchup follows an injury to Valentina Shevchenko, who was originally slated to defend her status against Silva. Officials announced the change during the UFC Paris broadcast, noting that Shevchenko is expected to be sidelined for at least one year. Silva enters the bout on a 14-fight winning streak, while Wang holds a 5-1 record within the promotion. A victory provides Wang a potential future opportunity to face Shevchenko, whom she previously defeated in a 2015 kickboxing match.
