Cong Wang
China
Fourth straight decision win
Wang defeated Tracy Cortez via unanimous decision (29-27, 29-27, 29-27) at UFC 329 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This ended up a shockingly easy win for Wang in what was viewed as a pick 'em fight. Part of the reason she had some much success was because Cortez made no effort whatsoever to get her wrestling game going. That allowed Wang to dominate on the feet, closing with a 93-48 edge in significant strikes landed. The scorecards would have been even more lopsided had Wang not correctly been docked a point by referee Jason Herzog in Round 2 for an illegal knee. The 34-year-old has won four straight fights -- all via unanimous decision -- since her shocking submission loss to Gabriella Fernandes back in November 2024.

Set to face Cortez at UFC 329
Wang will face Tracy Cortez in a flyweight bout at UFC 329 on July 11, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Wang will aim to take advantage of Cortez's recent struggles, as she has dropped two of her last three fights at the flyweight level. Wang, on the other hand, has won her previous three bouts and is trending in the right direction. Her age (34) might be an issue, but on paper, she should be the favorite against a struggling opponent in Cortez.

Wins battle of heavy combatants
Wang defeated Eduarda Moura via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
In a battle of two fighters that missed weight Friday morning, it was Wang that emerged victorious. It didn't come easy despite entering as a -340 favorite. Wang gave up three takedowns and 8:06 worth of control time, both highly concerning numbers for a 15-minute bout. She stole Round 1 with a late knockdown and won Round 3 after Moura gassed out attempting to grapple over and over. The outcome appeared really lopsided by the end, but a good chunk of this fight was pretty competitive. Wang will be 34 years of age in May but has just 10 professional fights under her belt because she picked the sport up so late. Her technical striking skills are strong, but the rest remains a major work in progress.
