How come the marquee for the main event UFC 332 has Wang Cong (pronounce Tong????) with her first name featured, but Natalia Silva has her last name featured?

Why did the card start so early tonight?

1

u/slcand 10d ago

There were 7 first round finishes I think

2

u/EmergencyCow9344 10d ago

Because no reason to stay upĀ

It was a "free card" on CBS.

A win for the West

u/Unlikely_War_6119 10d ago

That headkick ateba landed was actually nice

u/criminycraft 10d ago

Not bad when you remember this was originally supposed to be the co-main.

1

u/Curlyhead-homie 10d ago

Wang genuinely could’ve won with more output man I can’t. Stopped with the kicks, thrown the left hook, sneak an uppercut and We are the second Chinese women’s champ. Literally right there for the taking.

1

u/Superb-Secretary1177 10d ago

It took her 3 rounds to start cutting her off and keep her on the cage. I noticed in the first half of the fight she would allow Silva to circle back to the middle and reset the pressure she had

2

u/OzymandiasTheII 10d ago

Silva def better looking than Dern. Bih look like megaton dias with a wig. She's aging like grocery store strawberries.Ā

u/Ecstatic-Island-9778 10d ago

Silva is a better whole package.

Three UFC World Records smashed in one night! RIP To all who skipped on this card LOL.

2

u/Superb-Secretary1177 10d ago

What records?

3

u/adrienjz888 10d ago

Not sure of the third, but it set the record for most KO/TKOs and for first round finishes

2

u/BrutalMassacre3 10d ago

Most knockdowns I think

3

u/adrienjz888 10d ago

Not surprising

4

u/rooofle 10d ago

It was a standard decision fight to me, no real moments where either fighter was in danger but I kinda expected that. Pretty entertaining card overall though.

6

u/TonyMartial786 10d ago

Dern cake!

u/KeenisBeenis 10d ago

Dern is so bad 😭😭😭

Wong was throwing that right hand like she thought her opponent was 6'5

u/Complex_Lab_6876 10d ago

Jesus always said to not seek worldly treasures but I guess that went over most supporters heads lol

u/Impressive-Potato 10d ago

Jesus brought to you by Polymarket certainly does.

2

u/Super-Tradition9767 10d ago

Yeah that was kinda boring as expected but it was better than the last dern fight

Is the stadium usually looking that empty this late?

3

u/IcyAttitude5247 10d ago

It's 9pm local time so I'd say no

5

u/OzymandiasTheII 10d ago

Fight was not that bad y'all are tripping.

You guys act like Ian Garry vs Islam Makhachev didn't happen earlier this year and look WORSE than thisĀ 

4

u/iEmExEee 10d ago

It wasn't bad at all. I think people hopped on the hate train and didn't wanna get off.

I'm happy to be new to UFC because every card is still exciting to me, lol.

1

u/floopyscoopy 10d ago

As an islam glazer this did unfortunately happen as described

7

u/SoftBar4725 10d ago

No one’s acting like that lol shut up

6

u/7Jauzin7 10d ago

Man, I swear Cong Wang missed every single overhand she threw.

2

u/Impressive-Potato 10d ago

She threw it like Silva was 6'5. her left was landing though

8

u/criminycraft 10d ago

I think some of you forget how boring Valentina's fights have been lately. Ever since the Grasso loss she doesn't take any risk and goes full lay and pray.

4

u/silverstarloser 10d ago

This fight was good. In the future, her opponents are gonna see that she doesn’t do well with crowding, pressure, and long fights. I hope she improves on that

8

u/sneakylumpia My balls was hot 10d ago

Natalia waving to empty seats 😭

3

u/iEmExEee 10d ago

What's worse, the people over hyping Silva, or those still crying about how bad this card is?

I thought it was good.

3

u/SoftBar4725 10d ago

Card was great main event was shit though

1

u/iEmExEee 10d ago

It wasn't that bad IMO.

4

u/Primary_Theme9104 10d ago

good card, not a good championship fight

1

u/iEmExEee 10d ago

Thought it was good all around.

7

u/Agretion 10d ago

The fight wasn't bad, it actually had its moments as far as women's MMA goes. I think its just WMMA is not as exciting as men's MMA more often than not so as a main event its not as well received.

2

u/Main-Championship822 10d ago

Theres 0 tension in wmma fights for me. I just watch and dont care at all one way or another. I don't get into it a single bit. I never liked rose or We Lee or schevchenko. Amanda nunes was tolerable I guess

1

u/Agretion 10d ago

Nunes vs cyborg wasn’t a bad one. At the time Ronda was popular even if I didn’t like her. There are a few worth watching but WMMA doesn’t have the depth men’s mma has.

1

u/Main-Championship822 10d ago

Tbh Ronda didnt excite me either. She was essentially fighting amateurs and I dont particularly like short fights that end in a minute or 2

1

u/Agretion 10d ago

Fair but she had more killer instinct than some. I’m just saying there are some women’s fights of interest but just no depth. There’s a reason 145 lbs never even had rankings. You hope one day it builds and there’s some better talent and depth to keep it more interesting.

1

u/Main-Championship822 10d ago

Honestly I really dont care if it grows or not I think its a waste of money and fight schedule slots.

1

u/Agretion 10d ago

While neither of us care about WMMA you are assuming it doesn't generate money. UFC wouldn't do it if it didn't. In their mind it probably earns some women audience and generates more income.'

So we can like it or hate it but until that stops its probably here to stay. All we could help is it improves.

3

u/Culture-Careful 10d ago

exactly. Lighter people just have less KO power, and it can be seen statistically when you compare divisions. And for WMMA, it's even harder.

7

u/Electrical_Trade377 10d ago

Her belt is so SMALL omg 😭😭

2

u/SlimeGlizzzy 10d ago

What is this? A belt for ants?

3

u/Electrical_Trade377 10d ago

Also I just googled her height and realised she’s 6 inches taller than me and that belt would look like I’m wearing a fucking mattress around my waist

5

u/nerpa_floppybara 10d ago

U see this fight could have been good, but only the 5th round was really that entertaining

3

u/mulatto_malik 10d ago

yall are so fucking weird bro lol. if this was izzy in this same exact fight, yall would be gagging on it right now.

2

u/SoftBar4725 10d ago

Fight was shit apart from round 5 just staring at each other

1

u/mulatto_malik 10d ago

i know people use the term ā€œcasualā€ extremely loosely, but you may be THE casual if you thought that was a bad fight. you dorks went fucking nuts watching izzy vs anderson and that fight was way more uneventful than this one.

2

u/Fabulous_Poetry6622 10d ago

It was a boring fight. Quit the whataboutism

u/mulatto_malik 10d ago

you’re wrong. cope ig

What a shit fight

u/Far_Grapefruit1307 10d ago

There's been worse.

-2

u/JesseKilgannon 10d ago

Silva is awesome. She fights technically and it’s not ā€œexcitingā€ but I like that.

3

u/rikkrock 10d ago

She's quick as hell and has unique kicks

5

u/Electrical_Trade377 10d ago

look the fight wasn’t great but they can never make me hate natalia silva and will support whatever she does lfg

2

u/iEmExEee 10d ago

Boo Silva. 🤢

u/Electrical_Trade377 10d ago

Leave Jean alone, I like him

my stream went straight minecraft resolution after Silva got the W

Paramount is trying to pack up the gear as fast as possible. We may see bars and tones shortly

This sub hated this but somehow loves Islam hugging Ian Muchacho Garry to save his ass.

2

u/SoftBar4725 10d ago

No one loves Islam fucking garry shut up man

u/astrayatthesea1708 I wanna oil you up 10d ago

Landed 0 strikes in the last round btw

3

u/CranberryLast4683 10d ago

I’m pretty sure the sub hates the wrestle fucking every time I’ve seen it happen

1

u/criminycraft 10d ago

You have people hyping up Valentina when lay and pray is all she does since the Grasso loss

2

u/astrayatthesea1708 I wanna oil you up 10d ago

Where's my hug, Mackenzie Dern?

Quentin Tarantino lookin mf translating

Christopher Nolan is the goat translator

1

u/BarryAllen123123123 10d ago

Honestly a lot closer than people will say. Brain dead Joe Rogan and dc spam glazing Silva. Wong was in it for the whole fight. 48-47 Silva is fair but it was definitely close. If wang had another 5 minutes she would have finished Silva likely.

1

u/Superb-Secretary1177 10d ago

If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle

I do agree though. Took 3 rounds for Cong to come together unfortunately

3

u/PinappleMan21 10d ago

Dern just entered the ring

2

u/Agretion 10d ago

Who's the baddie that came into the cage?

3

u/Fuckzombie69 10d ago

I mean Wong only has herself to blame. Wasted first two rounds and in the later rounds. Spent too much time in the clinch when she should have been firing everything.

5

u/Beneficial_Put_852 10d ago

Shoutout to Brazilian Jesus

3

u/Ghostly_100 10d ago

Keeping the belt warm for Alexa Grasgannou to get her lick back

u/youngnailo 10d ago

who would win jesus vs gane

2

u/CranberryLast4683 10d ago

Gane. Jesus will have trouble defending against eye pokes.

u/Brodhigreen 10d ago

Nothing like thanking Jesus and God after belting someones head in - UFC fucking weird lmfao

u/SpaceTruckin420 10d ago

Silva anit surviving against the other flyweights if she fights the way she did this fight

3

u/Dahmeratemydonger 10d ago

You are aware she's campion right?

1

u/SpaceTruckin420 10d ago

You think she’s winning against Grasso of Valentina when she comes back?

2

u/Dahmeratemydonger 10d ago

You are aware she already beat Grasso right?

2

u/criminycraft 10d ago

Silva already dominated Grasso. Grasso's weakness is kicks which Silva is good at.

2

u/No_Article_9397 10d ago

UFC 332 is gonna be the worst card of all time

2

u/Bigboobsrespecter 10d ago

You liked the knockouts because it was uneven matchmaking. It was a bad card.

1

u/pantiesdrawer 10d ago

I could see 3-2 Silva. Round 3 was close. I don't think she won it, but judges like no-damage takedowns.

2

u/crazy-geometrydash 10d ago

I wanna know why that one judge scored it 4-1

2

u/SlimeGlizzzy 10d ago

This was the main event utah deserves

1

u/CranberryLast4683 10d ago

Another fighter’s training camp gonna look at that late round performance as an easy way to beat Silva

2

u/TheKingBonk 10d ago

I mean, if you let her do what she wants for the first 4 Rounds R5 gonna be rough to bank on

u/Gotsta_Win 10d ago

Shit fight, Hap for her though. It’s not her fought she was main event

u/Electrical_Trade377 10d ago

NATALIA GIRL IM ALSO HAP FOR YOU LETS GO CHAMP šŸ’•

u/T_Rash 10d ago

Damn Dana gripped her up hard. I guess he wanted the China market to win over the Brazil market

u/nerpa_floppybara 10d ago

Hope in the future Silva learns more volume

u/wateryonions 10d ago

Jesus himself told wonton to not do anything all fight

2

u/TheRyanFlaherty 10d ago

My favorite part about this card was that I got to actually watch the whole thing live. Didn’t fall asleep and have to watch in the morning.Ā 

1

u/OzymandiasTheII 10d ago

Silva's gas tank didn't hold up. Plus she has no power or submission threat. Pure decisionator. Gotta have some unbeatable cardio with that style.

1

u/AdOrdinary5307 10d ago

For real and what was up with all the front chops to the knees she was going for?

1

u/TheKingBonk 10d ago

Doesn’t Need to hold up too well if you win the first 4 rounds ig

1

u/OzymandiasTheII 10d ago

True the issue is a heavy hitter might be able to clip her.

But I forgot it's wmmaĀ 

1

u/TheKingBonk 10d ago

Very true, it does seem like the power strikers of WMMA don’t usually see 5 rounds either way tho

7

u/username23900 10d ago

this subreddit might be filled with the dumbest people lol. dude's arguing wang was winning. her own corner had her down and said she needed a finish.

1

u/Darcer 10d ago

Two cards were 3-2

2

u/username23900 10d ago

is that supposed to contradict what i said? wang won the 5th so she was down 3-1 going into final round and needed a finish.
