Natalia Silva and Wang Cong both made weight Friday morning at the UFC 332 weigh-ins in Salt Lake City, clearing the way for Saturday's main event. UFC.com, MMA Fighting and Yahoo Sports all confirmed the official numbers as part of the full 28 fighter weigh-in slate.
The bout fills the vacant women's flyweight title left open when longtime champion Valentina Shevchenko stepped away from the belt, according to multiple outlets covering fight week. Silva and Wang will settle who takes over the 125 pound throne when the card airs Saturday, October three, 2026 on CBS and Paramo.
Our tracker has Silva ranked number one at flyweight and Wang at number eight, and the numbers suggest a real but not overwhelming favorite in Silva. She's priced at minus 205 to Wang's plus 180, and our own model leans her way at 62 percent to Wang's 38 percent. Elo backs that up too, with Silva sitting at 1616 across seven tracked bouts compared to Wang's 1577 across six.
Wang arrives off a notable result of her own, having beaten Tracy Cortez by unanimous decision in her last outing on July eleven, 2026, the kind of win that helped push her into this title opportunity.
