Cong Wang vs Valentina Shevchenko - Kunlun Fight 33
UFC Debut Alert!
Very rarely am I excited for UFC debuts but we got a good one this week - Chinese flyweight Cong Wang (5-0). Cong is an experienced Sanda fighter and kickboxer, who has this controversial win over UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko in kickboxing. She's got a world championship in Wushu and also won a silver medal at the 2019 Amateur World Boxing championships. She lost in the finals to 2x Olympic medalist and future pro world champion Beatriz Ferreira. She also beat 2x Olympic bronze medalist Mira Potkonen in that tournament. Point being, she's a legit striker making her way into MMA.
Cong Wang will face off with Victoria Leonardo (9-5) at UFC Fight Night: Cannonier vs. Borralho this Saturday (August 24).
