Natalia Silva has officially claimed the #1 contender spot in the UFC women's flyweight rankings after defeating Rose Namajunas on the UFC 324 main card. Previously #2, Silva now eyes champion Valentina Shevchenko following her recent defense against Weili Zhang. This shift introduces a fresh Brazilian challenge to Shevchenko's reign. It bolsters the flyweight division's competitive depth. Expect Silva to push for a title shot in the coming months.
