While former undisputed flyweight titleholder, Valentina Shevchenko is gearing up for a title rematch return next month against Alexa Grasso in their trilogy clash at Noche UFC — a former kickboxing foe of the Krgysztan native, Wang Cong is confident of landing another win over the decorated striker if they share the Octagon down the line.
Cong, a former Kunlun Fight Legend of Mulan tournament victor, made her debut under the banner of the UFC over the course of this weekend on a Vegas 96 card, landing in the promotion with aplomb.
Stopping Brazilian opponent, Victoria Leonardo, Cong landed a stunning opening round one-punch knockout win inside an opening minute — earning herself a Performance of the Night bonus to boot.
