Main Event: Natalia Silva vs. Wang Cong for Vacant Women’s Flyweight Title

The headline bout features Natalia Silva, ranked No. 1, against No. 6 Wang Cong for the vacant UFC women’s flyweight championship. This fight is notable as it is the first title clash in the division since 2017 without Valentina Shevchenko involved. Shevchenko vacated the belt due to shoulder and back ligament injuries that will keep her out about a year. Upon her return, she has been promised a title shot, so the winner of this weekend’s fight will hold the belt and potentially face her later.

Silva is known for her quick striking, impressive footwork, and Taekwondo background, making her one of the most exciting prospects in the division. Wang Cong brings serious knockout power and momentum, including a previous kickboxing victory over Shevchenko.

The matchup contrasts Silva’s elusive, high-volume striking style with Wang’s aggressive pressure and power. Both fighters understand that finishing the fight could establish them as the next dominant figure in the flyweight division.

Co-Main Event: Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Payton Talbott

The co-main features bantamweights Deiveson Figueiredo, a former flyweight champion, against rising star Payton Talbott. Figueiredo is seeking to end a rough patch in the bantamweight class after losses to Umar Nurmagomedov and Song Yadong. At 38, he needs a flawless performance to get back on track.

Talbott is among the most promising prospects in MMA, having defeated former champion Henry Cejudo already. His skill set and confidence suggest he could be a future title contender. Figueiredo’s strengths lie in counter-striking and grappling, while Talbott relies on forward pressure, slick striking, and relentless pace. A win for Talbott could push him toward a title shot, and a Figueiredo victory would prove he remains a top competitor.
