Natalia Silva is one step away from achieving a historic feat . The Minas Gerais native will face Wang Cong for the vacant flyweight title (up to 56,7 kg) at UFC 332, next Saturday (3), in Salt Lake City (USA). The fight could put the Brazilian at the top of the division for the first time in her career.
In an interview with the UFC on Paramount YouTube channel, available this Thursday (1), Natália was asked what her main advantage will be for the fight against the Chinese fighter. The fighter arrives at the duel riding a positive streak and will face an opponent who is also looking to win the first Ultimate belt.

"My heart, my will to win, she no longer has the will or desire to win, and she hasn't gone through all the difficulties I had to go through to be here," said Natália Silva.
The fighter from Minas Gerais built her career after overcoming difficult moments and will now have the biggest opportunity since joining the organization. Facing Wang Cong , the Brazilian could transform her string of good results into her first UFC title.
On the other side, the Chinese fighter will also be making her first fight for the organization's belt, having won her last four fights. The matchup, therefore, will pit two fighters against each other who are both seeking to achieve their main career goal and determine who will be the new flyweight champion.
