Wang Cong Attributes UFC 332 Performance Struggles to Eye Poke

Wang Cong has publicly addressed her performance in the UFC 332 main event against Natalia Silva, citing an eye poke as a significant factor in her inability to perform at her best. The bout, which served as the headliner for the promotion's recent event, went the full five-round distance but failed to match the high-octane finish rate seen throughout the rest of the card. While the event was characterized by a record-setting number of knockouts, the flyweight title fight between Silva and Wang drew criticism for its lack of activity and slower pace. Wang noted that the injury hampered her effectiveness throughout the contest. Natalia Silva ultimately secured the victory in the matchup, claiming the vacant women's flyweight championship. The UFC has not issued an official statement regarding the alleged foul or potential review of the contest following the event.
