Across 26 career matches, she boasts a 20-5-1 record, balancing her offensive output with five knockouts, seven submissions, and seven decisions. She also has one win by disqualification.

More impressively, she maintains the highest striking differential in the weight class at 2.45, alongside a staggering 90.3% takedown defense rate.
Wang Cong Brings Striking Pedigree to the Octagon
Opposing Silva is a striker who brings world-class combat sports accolades into the cage.

Since launching her MMA career in July 2022 and joining the UFC in May 2024, she has compiled a 10-1 record.
