The vacant Ultimate Fighting Championship women's flyweight title fight is officially set following the weigh-ins for UFC 332. No. 1 contender Natalia Silva and Cong Wang both successfully made weight for the five-round main event. Silva, representing Team Borracha, stepped on the scale at the championship limit of 125 pounds, while Wang checked in at 124.5 pounds.
Silva (20-5-1) enters the title clash riding a 14-fight winning streak and remains undefeated inside the Octagon. The Brazilian was originally scheduled to challenge Valentina Shevchenko before the champion suffered an injury. Silva cemented her championship opportunity with high-profile victories over Rose Namajunas, Alexa Grasso, and Jessica Andrade.
Wang (10-1), 34, looks to secure an upset as she enters on a four-fight winning streak. The Chinese fighter has earned consecutive decision wins over Tracy Cortez, Eduarda Moura, Ariane Lipski da Silva, and Bruna Brasil. Her most recent setback was a submission loss via rear-naked choke against Gabriella Fernandes.
All other fighters on the UFC 332 card successfully made weight with the exception of lightweight Esteban Ribovics. Ribovics missed the lightweight limit by half a pound and will be fined a percentage of his purse as a result. The UFC 332 main card is set to air live on Paramount+ and CBS starting at 8 p.m.
