Wang Cong expressed no surprise regarding her selection for the vacant flyweight title bout against Natalia Silva at UFC 332 following Valentina Shevchenko's decision to vacate the belt.

Wang Cong recently addressed her upcoming opportunity to compete for the vacant UFC flyweight title at UFC 332. Following the announcement that long-time champion Valentina Shevchenko would relinquish her belt, the UFC elevated the matchup between Wang and Natalia Silva to a championship bout. While some observers have questioned the timeline of her ascent, Wang stated she was not surprised by the promotion's decision to grant her the title shot.

Wang enters the contest riding significant momentum, having established herself as a formidable presence in the division. Her opponent, Natalia Silva, was widely considered a logical choice for the vacant title given her consistent winning streak and performance record within the weight class. Despite the rapid nature of the transition following Shevchenko's departure, both athletes are now set to headline the event with the championship on the line.

For fantasy players, this fight represents a major shift in the flyweight landscape. With a new champion guaranteed to be crowned, the division's future rankings and point distributions for fantasy leagues will likely see substantial volatility following the conclusion of UFC 332.
