🇧🇷 Natalia Silva is out in Brazil celebrating her UFC 332 victory, but the streets are looking a little quieter than you'd expect for a victory parade. 😭 Where is everybody? 💀 Is Brazil sleeping on its new flyweight champion? 🤔 #ufc #mma #ufc332 #nataliasilva #brazil

Valentina Shevchenko did not willingly give up the flyweight title, according to a new report, with the UFC pushing her to step away after an injury left the promotion short of other options for a title fight. The report states Shevchenko has a lingering injury, but that she would still be champion had another title fight been available for October 3. She was reportedly told she would be taken care of with a title shot upon her return. Natalia Silva became the new 125-pound champion this past weekend in Salt Lake City, and Shevchenko has yet to speak publicly on the matter.

Natalia Silva defeated Wang Cong by unanimous decision to become the UFC flyweight champion. The result came at UFC 332.


Lightweight Esteban Ribovics weighed in at 156.5 pounds, half a pound over the non-title limit, ahead of his main card fight with King Green at UFC 332 in Salt Lake City. Green made weight at 155.5. The bout will proceed at a catchweight, with Ribovics forfeiting 20 percent of his purse. Headliners Natalia Silva and Wang Cong both made weight for their vacant flyweight title fight, as did Deiveson Figueiredo and Payton Talbott in the co-main event.




A UFC 332 fight was reportedly preserved on September 30 after an MMA champion stepped in on three days’ notice to replace an injured fighter. The change affects the Salt Lake City card, which is headlined by Natalia Silva vs. Wang Cong for the women’s flyweight title. The report says the title fight resulted from Valentina Shevchenko vacating the championship because of injury. The late replacement allows the affected bout to remain on the event rather than being canceled. Further details on the replacement’s preparation and official UFC confirmation should be expected as the event approaches.
