Cong Wang

China

Taps out as monumental favorite
FlyweightUFC
November 23, 2024
Wang lost to Gabriella Fernandes via technical submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:49 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Macau, China.
ANALYSIS
That will put an end to the Wang hype train and will do so in overwhelming fashion. Entering as a roughly a -1200 favorite, Wang is now victim of the biggest upset of the year and one of the biggest in recent memory. She dominated in Round 1, but was shockingly content to engage Fernandes in a brawl in Round 2. That led to Wang being knocked down, allowing her opponent the opportunity to clamp on the rear-naked choke which closed the show. Already 32 years of age and with all of six pro fights under her belt, it may be difficult to Wang to overcome this massive setback.

Dominant victory in UFC debut

August 24, 2024
Wang defeated Victoria Leonardo via KO (punches) at 1:02 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was about the softest matchup possible from an opposition standpoint, but Wang looked flawless in her UFC debut. An elite striker with all of five pro fights under her belt entering the evening, Want destroyed Leonardo with a one-two combination about a minute in, and the bout was over in an instant. There appears to be some legitimate potential here, but given the fact Wang is already 32 years old, the UFC has no real reason to slow play things. In the meantime, it appears Wang was also given an extra, unofficial post-fight bonus for her efforts here, according to Drake Riggs of MMAFighting.com.
