No Bets Barred: Can Wang Cong Upset Natalia Silva And Add Some Life To The Women's Flyweight Division At UFC 332?

MMA Fighting

Show Notes

UFC 332 is here with the fight everyone has been waiting for … Natalia Silva vs. Wang Cong for the vacant women’s flyweight title?

On Saturday, Silva and Wang face off for the belt vacated earlier this year by long-time champion Valentina Shevchenko after an injury prevented her from defending the title at this event. Now, Silva and Wang have the opportunity to fight for a UFC title, but also the burden of making people care about a belt that doesn’t exactly feel like the real one.

On the latest episode of No Bets Barred, host Jed Meshew flies solo to dive into the latest numbered event from the UFC, which falls short based on the standard of PPV events, but looks to be a solid Fight Night card. Topics discussed included Wang’s chances of pulling off the upset and adding some spark to the women’s flyweight division, the plethora of sacrificial uncs on this card, a new start to The Climb, and more.

Tune in for episode 166 of No Bets Barred.
