Natalia Silva and Wang Cong seem ready to fight.
On Saturday, Silva and Wang square off for the vacant women’s flyweight title in the main event of UFC 332 in Salt Lake City, but on Friday, the two nearly got to things early during the ceremonial weigh-ins after Wang taunted Silva during their final faceoff.
After hitting the scale for the Salt Lake City crowd, Silva hopped down and went to faceoff with Wang, who was wearing the Joker makeup that’s become a calling card. Wang had her arms up in a fighting
pose and approached Silva while popping her hips repeatedly, getting right in Silva’s face and leading Silva to shove her arms away, causing security to intervene. Silva seemed annoyed by the whole interaction, while Wang continued to taunt her with hip pops.
Silva and Wang were not the only fighters who had to be separated at the ceremonial weigh-ins. The co-main event bout between Deiveson Figueiredo and Payton Talbott also nearly got physical, with Talbott encroaching on Figueiredo, causing the former flyweight champion to push him back, before UFC CEO Dana White got in the middle.
Watch the full ceremonial weigh-ins above.
UFC 332 takes place at Delta Center in Salt Lake City tomorrow night, with the early prelims starting at 4:00 p.m. EDT on Paramount+, and the main card starting at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS.
