Natalia Silva secured the next women's flyweight title opportunity after defeating Rose Namajunas on the UFC 324 main card. The Brazilian fighter, who was already ranked #2 in the divisional rankings heading into the event, officially claimed the #1 contender spot at 125 pounds following her victory. Silva will challenge Valentina Shevchenko for the women's flyweight championship, representing a fresh test for 'Bullet' after Shevchenko successfully defended her title against Weili Zhang's double-champ bid at UFC 322. The ranking update reflects Silva's emergence as the clear next challenger in the division.
