Record-Breaking Night At UFC 332
The card produced multiple promotional milestones across several weight divisions. Silva became the first Brazilian to hold the 125-pound strap and extended her winning streak to eight fights inside the octagon.
Cong, who entered as the betting favourite, struggled to implement her grappling gameplan against Silva's footwork and counter-striking. The Chinese challenger absorbed heavy volume in the third frame before the referee waved off the contest.
