Main Event Preview: Natalia Silva vs. Wang Cong

The vacant UFC women's flyweight belt is up for grabs as the division’s top-ranked fighter, Natalia Silva, faces No. 6 contender Wang Cong. This matchup stands out as the first women’s flyweight title fight without Valentina Shevchenko since 2017, after she vacated the belt due to shoulder and back ligament injuries that will keep her out for about a year. Shevchenko is guaranteed a shot at the title when she returns.

Silva brings lightning-fast striking rooted in Taekwondo, known for her speed and movement. Meanwhile, Wang Cong arrives with knockout power and momentum, having previously defeated Shevchenko in kickboxing.

This fight pits Silva's elusive, high-volume striking style against Wang’s pressure and power. With the belt open, both fighters are aware that finishing the fight could define them as the flyweight division’s new leading figure.

Co-Main Event Spotlight: Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Payton Talbott

The bantamweight co-main event features former UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo taking on the rising star Payton Talbott. Figueiredo has struggled recently at bantamweight with losses to Umar Nurmagomedov and Song Yadong. At 38 years old, he'll need to perform near flawlessly to get back on track.

Talbott is among the sport’s most promising prospects, boasting victories over tough opponents including former champion Henry Cejudo. His aggressive style and confidence make him a serious threat to Figueiredo.

The win for Figueiredo depends on his counter-striking and grappling, while Talbott looks to maintain relentless pressure with sharp striking. A victory could push Talbott closer to a title shot, while Figueiredo aims to prove he remains a top contender.
