Natalia Silva has emerged as the new women's UFC flyweight champion, securing the vacant title with a unanimous decision victory over Wang Cong from China at UFC 332. This bout took place in Salt Lake City, and Silva's win extends her incredible streak to 15 consecutive victories.

Originally, Silva was slated to face Valentina Shevchenko for the title; however, that matchup was cancelled due to Shevchenko's injury, which forced her to vacate the belt last month.

In a dominating performance, Silva showcased her skills over five rounds, with the judges scoring the fight 48-47, 48-47, and 49-46 in her favor. After the fight, she expressed her gratitude and determination, stating, "I want to tell this to everyone... don't give up on anything. This belt here is because God gave me the opportunity. I knew [Wang] was a tough fighter. This fight proved why she was challenging me. This is the beginning of Natalia Silva. I'm the new queen."

Following her victory, Shevchenko congratulated Silva on social media, advising her to stay vigilant:

Well deserved Natalia! Congratulations. It's my pleasure to know that UFC Champion's belt is now holding deserving martial artist - such as you are. But don't get too comfortable - keep it warm, I'm coming soon for my belt.

This event marked a significant moment in UFC history, being the first women's main event since Mackenzie Dern defeated Amanda Ribas in January 2025, and the first time two women headlined a numbered event since June 2023.

In the preliminary fights, Mick Parkin from Britain suffered a quick defeat, lasting less than four minutes before being knocked out by a knee from Johnny Walker on the Brazilian's heavyweight debut.
