By MMAReign News Desk·Oct 6, 2026 • 12:05 AM

Following her UFC 332 victory, new flyweight champion Natalia Silva has confirmed she intends to be an active titleholder as the division awaits her first challenger.

Following her victory over Wang Cong at UFC 332, newly crowned UFC women’s flyweight champion Natalia Silva has signaled her intention to maintain a busy schedule. Silva claimed the division’s top spot in the main event of the historic card and is already looking ahead to her first title defense. While the promotion has yet to announce a formal timeline for the return of former champion Valentina Shevchenko, Silva expressed a commitment to remaining an active titleholder, keeping the division moving forward. The women’s flyweight landscape remains in a state of flux as the organization weighs potential contenders for the new champion. With Shevchenko’s status following the title shift still a primary topic of interest for matchmakers, fans and analysts are waiting to see if “The Bullet” will receive an immediate opportunity to reclaim the belt or if a different challenger will emerge to face Silva in her debut defense. As Silva establishes her presence at the top of the weight class, her stated goal of activity suggests that the championship picture could stabilize quickly in the coming months.
