Easily handles heavy opponent
Wang defeated Ariane Lipski via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 316 on Saturday in Newark, New Jersey.
ANALYSIS
It will almost certainly go down as the most lucrative evening of Wang's career. Not only will she pick up her show and win bonuses, but she'll also walk away with 25 percent of Lipski's purse after the latter missed weight by six pounds Friday morning. Inside the Octagon, Wang cruised as a -600 favorite. She simply out-waited Lipski on the feet, closing with a 143-63 edge in significant strikes landed. The result was never in doubt. Wang has now won back-to-back fights on the heels of her shocking submission defeat to Gabriella Fernandes last November.

Opponent misses weight
Wang's opponent at UFC 316, Ariane Lipski, missed weight by a whopping six pounds at weigh-ins, per MMAJunkie.com.
ANALYSIS
Lipski checked in at 132 pounds for her bout with Wang, a staggering six pounds over the limit. At this point, that seems like a bit much for this fight to proceed even at a catchweight, but no decision from the UFC has been made quite yet.

Looking to go 2-0 in 2025
Wang is scheduled to compete against fellow flyweight Ariane Lipski at UFC 316 in Newark on June 7, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Barely multiple days into 2025, Wang scheduled to get her year going with a pay-per-view fight against Bruna Brasil, who lost every round in their Sydney fight back in February. Wang's next opponent has lost her last two fights, so the former will look to advantage of momentum on her side.

Gets right back in win column
Wang defeated Bruna Brasil via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC 312 on Saturday in Sydney, Australia.
ANALYSIS
Wang was fresh off a submission loss to Gabriella Fernandes in November as a -1200 favorite. She was down to a -350 favorite against Brasil and predictably performed much better. Wang dominated on the feet, more than tripling Brasil up (103-31) in terms of significant strikes landed. She also mixed in a pair of takedowns for good measure, although Wang did nothing with her positional advantage. Wang's stand-up is very good. The rest of her game is a work in progress. She improves to 2-1 in her first three UFC bouts.
