'Prove they are wrong': For UFC 332's Natalia Silva and Wang Cong, the criticism is inescapable

'Prove they are wrong': For UFC 332's Natalia Silva and Wang Cong, the criticism is inescapable

The UFC women's flyweight championship is currently vacant, with Shevchenko vacating her title. This has led to criticism and questions about the legitimacy of the main event at UFC 332, featuring Natalia Silva and Wang Cong. Both fighters have been preparing for the title fight, with Silva having won her last two fights and Wang having a winning streak.

Despite the controversy, both fighters are focused on claiming the championship, with Silva stating that her objective is to face the champion and prove herself as a true champion. Wang, on the other hand, acknowledges the criticism but believes that as long as she defeats her opponent, she will be considered the real champion.
