Natalia Silva will battle Wang Cong for the vacant women's flyweight championship at UFC 332 on Saturday, per MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew.
The title shot arrives after former champion Valentina Shevchenko surrendered the belt earlier this year when an injury prevented her from defending at this event. Silva and Wang now have the chance to claim UFC gold, though questions remain about whether fans will view the winner as a legitimate titleholder.

Can Wang Cong Revitalize Women's Flyweight Division?
Silva enters as the favorite, but Wang's upset potential could inject new energy into a weight class that has struggled for relevance beyond Shevchenko's lengthy reign. The Brazilian Silva stopped Rose Namajunas at UFC 324 in January, while Wang brings an aggressive style that could trouble Silva's striking game.
The event marks a step down from typical pay-per-view standards, though the card still features enough depth to deliver a solid Fight Night-caliber show. Silva and Wang weigh in Friday before Saturday's main event.
