Natalia Silva will face Wang Cong for the vacant flyweight title (up to 56,7 kg) at UFC 332. The Brazilian seeks to win her first career belt in the Ultimate after establishing herself as one of the main names in the category. Valentina Shevchenko relinquished the belt due to an injury and next Saturday (3), in Salt Lake City (USA), the main fight will define the new 'Queen' of the category.
In an interview with the UFC on Paramount YouTube channel, available this Thursday (1), the Minas Gerais native commented on the possibility of facing Valentina in the future and spoke about her plans if she wins the belt.

“I always wanted to fight Valentina, even when she was champion. The belt is vacant now, so she doesn't own the belt anymore. She can't fight because she's injured. So, as champion, what matters to me is defending my title well, continuing as champion, having good fights, and beating every opponent that comes my way. Now, fighting Valentina or not, I don't see the need for that, because I'm already proving myself a champion by fighting and being champion. For me, the main thing is to become champion and defend my title, to leave a legacy,” said Natalia Silva.
