Wang Cong is a 34-year-old Chinese flyweight who arrived in the UFC with one of the most decorated striking backgrounds in the division: a national sanda champion, an Asian Games gold medalist, and a long professional kickboxing career that included a 2015 decision win over a young Valentina Shevchenko. She stopped Victoria Leonardo in 62 seconds on her UFC debut and has since won every fight since her lone promotional loss, most recently a unanimous decision over Tracy Cortez at UFC 329 in July 2026. She now steps in on short notice for the injured Shevchenko, fighting for a vacant title in the biggest opportunity of her career.
