  "account": "UFC 332 has finally delivered a women's flyweight championship bout without the usual name of Valentina Shevchenko. Natalia Silva and Wang Cong are set to face off in the vacant flyweight title match at Delta Center in Salt Lake City. Silva, who has an impressive record of 20-5-1, is currently the clear-cut No. 1 contender at 125 pounds and has secured the No. 6 spot in the MMA Fighting Pound-for-Pound Rankings. Her past 14 fights have been wins, propelling her to the top of the flyweight ranks.\n\nSilva's path to the title shot was achieved through consecutive decision victories over former UFC champions Rose Namajunas, Alexa Grasso, and Jessica Andrade. However, the road to the championship was not without its twists. Shevchenko vacated the title due to lingering injuries, leaving Silva to face Wang instead.\n\nWang, with a record of 10-1, made her UFC debut in 2024, bringing with her a strong background in kickboxing. She has claimed four consecutive victories, solidifying her contender credentials by defeating Tracy Cortez at UFC 329. As the opening bell rings, Silva is favored at nearly -200 odds, while Wang comes in as the underdog at +166 odds according to FanDuel.",
