Natalia Silva secured the next women's flyweight title opportunity after defeating Rose Namajunas on the UFC 324 card. Silva, who was already ranked #2 in the divisional standings heading into the event, officially moved to the #1 contender position following her victory. The Brazilian now represents a fresh challenge for women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko, who recently defended her title against Weili Zhang at UFC 322. Silva's win and subsequent ranking elevation set up the next title bout in the 125-pound division.
