This morning, China’s “No. 1 Sanda Sister” Wang Cong will make her UFC debut against American boxer Leonardo. Wang Cong is very familiar to martial arts fans. Wang Cong has performed well in both Sanda and kickboxing arenas. In 2015, when Shevchenko fought in the Kunlun Finals, Wang Cong ended his opponent's five-year winning streak. Shevchenko also began competing in the UFC after this war, and won the UFC women's flyweight (57 kg) gold belt in 2018. It was not until 2023 that she was defeated by Grasso and fell from the throne.

Wang Cong made his MMA debut in 2022 and won by submission via naked choke. Now Wang Cong has won all 5 fights in the MMA ring. In March this year, Wang Cong defeated Luna in the guillotine on the road to UFC elites and successfully signed a contract. Wang Cong has a very high standing level, and since she moved to mma, Wang Cong's ground skills have improved rapidly, so many martial arts fans regard Wang Cong as the next Chinese boxer who can win the UFC championship.

Wang Cong’s opponent in this battle, Leonardo, has only won 1 game in the past 4 games. I believe Wang Cong can get off to a good start.

At the beginning of the game, both sides were mainly testing, but after Wang Cong adapted to the venue and the opponent's offensive rhythm. A precise backhand punch made Leonardo's eyes wander. Wang Cong was confident that he did not make up for it and cheered in celebration. The referee decisively stopped the game. In the end, Wang Cong won the first show with a beautiful ko. This was also the second fastest ending record in the UFC women's flyweight class, taking only 1 minute and 02 seconds.

Judging from this game, Wang Cong is in pretty good shape. Whether it's strength or speed, she crushes her opponents in all aspects. I believe Wang Cong's performance will make martial arts fans around the world remember her name. After the game, Wang Cong said in an on-site interview that her ability should play the main event in UFC, but she was not happy that she was asked to play the first sub-match. She wanted to play the main event in UFC Macau. Moreover, Wang Cong called out O'Neal, who is ranked 15th in the women's flyweight class, on the spot. Based on Wang Cong's performance, I believe UFC will give her a chance.

At the same time, the battle between Wang Cong and Shevchenko was also mentioned, and Wang Cong also confidently stated that he would defeat his opponent again. If Wang Cong can maintain today's competition status, her strong collision with Shevchenko will not be too far away.
