Doh! Dopey Dana Doesn’t Know His Own Headliner
The average UFC fan isn’t thrilled about the UFC 332 main event between Natalia Silva vs. Wang Cong. Cong is stepping in for the injured Valentina Shevchenko, who vacated her title after a nasty shoulder injury about a month ago. Though neither woman is a superstar and it’s not the fight people were expecting to […]
London, England - September 26, 2026 - In the wake of the UFC 332 event, Dana White's confusion over one of the headline fighters has come under scrutiny. Despite the main event being billed as Natalia Silva versus Wang Cong, White seemed to have difficulty properly promoting the latter's credentials. In the immediate aftermath of the event, White mistakenly attributed three wins to Cong, including a victory over Rose Namajunas, Andrade, and Grasso.
He also claimed Wang had bested Valentina Shevchenko in a kickboxing match. While it's true that Wang Cong has six UFC bouts under her belt, her notable victories include those against Tracy Cortez and Ariane de Silva. In contrast, Natalia Silva has convincingly defeated Namajunas, Andrade, and Grasso in her current 14-fight win streak.
White's apparent lack of knowledge about Cong could have come from his recent efforts to promote boxing ventures, potentially stretching his promotional capabilities thin.
