In a 5-round women's flyweight bout in the main event, Natalia Silva and Wang Cong meet Saturday at UFC 332 at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The early prelims at 4 p.m. ET, the prelims begin at 6 p.m. ET, and the main card is scheduled for an 8 p.m. ET start (all on Paramount+). Let's analyze UFC odds around the UFC 332: Silva vs. Wang odds and make our expert UFC picks and predictions.
Records: Silva (20-5-1) | Wang (10-1-0)
These 2 battle for the vacant women's flyweight title. Wang took this fight on short notice after fighting to a unanimous-decision win over Tracy Cortez at UFC 329 on July 11. Since a loss to Gabriella Fernandes in November 2024, Wang has won 4 straight fights via unanimous decision. She knows what she needs to do
to wow the judges.
Silva arrived early in Salt Lake City to train at elevation, and that might be key in this fight as Wang comes in 12 weeks after a fight which went the distance. Expect Wang's stamina and cardio to be challenged immediately. Silva has rattled off 5 straight wins via unanimous decision and is 8-0 since arriving at the UFC level -- including wins over some of the best in the division in Viviane Araujo, Jessica Andrade, Alexa Grasso and Rose Namajunas in her past 4 outings.
Wang has a slight half-inch reach advantage while posting 6.82 significant strikes landed per minute to Silva's 4.81. Wang has a 0.62 takedown average, too, while Silva checks in at 0.43. In fact, Wang has a 75.00% takedown accuracy percentage, to just 30.00% for Silva. It appears Wang dominates in every category, but this is a significant step up in competition, especially after such a brief camp to get ready.

UFC 332: Silva vs. Cong picks and predictions
Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)
Silva (-220) should get this victory, but you cannot risk more than 2 times your potential return, even with a boost or promo. That's too much risk for not nearly enough reward.
Based on the fact Silva has won 5 consecutive fights via unanimous decision, going with SILVA BY DECISION/TECHNICAL DECISION (-110) is the way to go. There isn't likely to be a finish in this one.
Over/Under
Yes: Fight to go the distance (-275) is too expensive, as well, costing nearly 3 times your potential return. You can't risk that much for such a small return.
If you're looking for a value play, consider SILVA OVER 1.5 TAKEDOWNS (+325) for the chance to triple up. If this fight goes the distance as expected, that could be in play.
