Wang Cong couldn’t depart Salt Lake Metropolis as a UFC champion this previous Saturday, and he or she thinks she might’ve carried out issues otherwise.
Cong challenged Silva with the vacant ladies’s flyweight title up for grabs. Shevchenko relinquished the gold as she hasn’t recovered from an damage as rapidly as she had hoped. Cong and Silva went the gap contained in the Delta Middle. Whereas Cong had a late surge, it wasn’t sufficient within the eyes of all three judges, who scored the battle for Silva.
Now that Cong has had a while to replicate on falling wanting UFC gold, she took to her Instagram account to confess that she’s change issues up with a do-over.
“Thanks for supporting my mates,” Cong stated. “The sport is misplaced, what a pity. I’ve some regrets then due to the primary recreation. The attention was poked within the second half. The road of sight is blocked, after which I couldn’t see it after I was poked in the appropriate eye within the first recreation. Wait till later to decelerate, it’s too gradual to enter. The place to fall, rise up, return and summarize your self. Come on, attempt once more.”
UFC CEO Dana White informed reporters after the occasion that Cong can be upset with herself for not being extra aggressive sooner. It seems White could have been right.
Cong entered UFC 332 on a four-fight successful streak. Her final defeat was to Gabriella Fernandes again in Nov. 2024. Cong defeated Tracy Cortez, Eduarda Moura, Ariane da Silva, and Bruna Brasil to earn the title alternative.
Whether or not or not former champion Shevchenko will probably be healed in time to battle Silva subsequent stays to be seen. “Bullet” warned Silva to not have a good time for too lengthy as she will probably be trying to get the 125-pound gold again when she’s cleared.
