A vacant women's flyweight title is on the line in Salt Lake City. Unbeaten in the UFC (8-0) and riding 14 straight wins, top contender Natalia Silva meets Wang Cong, who beat Valentina Shevchenko in a 2015 kickboxing match. Shevchenko vacated the belt with a back and shoulder injury that keeps her out for about a year. It is the first numbered UFC main card on CBS, with Roberto Soldić's UFC debut and Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Payton Talbott also on the main card.

Vacant UFC women's flyweight title. Shevchenko gave it up with a back and shoulder injury that sidelines her for about a year, and Wang has been chasing an MMA rematch with her since joining the UFC.

Style Matchup

Unbeaten in the UFC (8-0) with 14 straight wins, Natalia Silva meets Wang Cong, the striker who beat Valentina Shevchenko in a 2015 kickboxing match.

Tactical Angle

Silva's last three wins came over former champions Rose Namajunas, Alexa Grasso and Jessica Andrade. Wang has won four straight, all by decision, most recently over Tracy Cortez at UFC 329, and brings a striking pedigree (2013 World Wushu Championships and 2014 Asian Games gold).
