NATALIA SILVA vs WANG CONG
Women’s Flyweight – Main Event – Title Fight:
Natalia Silva enters this title fight with an unbeaten UFC record of 8 wins without a loss. The Brazilian has been consistently impressive inside the organisation, recording six decision victories and two stoppages since making her debut in June 2022.
Silva has won her last five appearances by unanimous decision. She defeated Andrea Lee and Viviane Araujo before overcoming three former champions in Jessica Andrade, Alexa Grasso and most recently Rose Namajunas in January.
Wang Cong brings a resume of 5 wins and 1 loss under the institution into this matchup. The Chinese contender stopped Victoria Leonardo in the opening round of her debut but suffered a submission defeat to Gabriella Fernandes in her next appearance.
Wang has responded with four consecutive unanimous decision victories. She beat Bruna Brasil and Ariane Lipski da Silva in 2025 before overcoming Eduarda Moura in February and Tracy Cortez in July to extend her winning streak.

Natalia Silva 1.47
Wang Cong 2.75
PREDICTION:
Both fighters arrive with strong momentum and have regularly gone the distance during their recent winning runs. Wang has recovered convincingly from her only UFC defeat but Silva’s victories over Andrade, Grasso and Namajunas give her the stronger record against established opposition. I expect a competitive contest with Silva doing enough across the rounds to secure the title by decision.
DEIVESON FIGUEIREDO vs PAYTON TALBOTT
Bantamweight – Co-Main Event:
Deiveson Figueiredo enters this contest with ample experience behind him in the UFC having won 14 of his fights while losing 7 and drawing 1. The Brazilian former flyweight champion brings considerable cage time and has demonstrated his finishing ability through both knockouts and submissions.
Figueiredo has lost four of his last five appearances. A split decision victory over Montel Jackson in October 2025 interrupted defeats to Petr Yan and Cory Sandhagen but he has since lost a unanimous decision to Umar Nurmagomedov and been submitted by Song Yadong in May.
Payton Talbott heads into the clash with 5 wins and 1 loss under the promotion. The American won his first three UFC fights inside the distance, submitting Nick Aguirre before stopping Cameron Saaiman and Yanis Ghemmouri.
Talbott suffered his first UFC defeat against Raoni Barcelos in January 2025 but has responded with successive unanimous decision victories. He defeated Felipe Lima in June before overcoming former two-division champion Henry Cejudo in December.

Deiveson Figueiredo 7.00
Payton Talbott 1.11
PREDICTION:
Figueiredo remains a dangerous opponent with the experience to punish mistakes, particularly if he can create submission opportunities. However, his recent results are difficult to overlook and Talbott has rebuilt his momentum with two encouraging decision victories. I expect Talbott to make the Brazilian work at a demanding pace and land the more effective shots on his way to a decision win.

KING GREEN vs ESTEBAN RIBOVICS
Lightweight – Main Card Bout:
King Green brings a UFC record of 17 wins, 12 losses, 1 draw and 1 no contest into this encounter. The American veteran has enjoyed a strong resurgence, winning four consecutive fights after suffering successive stoppage defeats against Paddy Pimblett and Mauricio Ruffy.
Green began that run with a split decision victory over Lance Gibson Jr. in December before stopping Daniel Zellhuber in March. He then submitted Jeremy Stephens in the opening round in May and finished Terrance McKinney just before the end of the first round in July.
Esteban Ribovics enters this fight with 5 wins and 3 losses inside the promotion. The Argentine has earned two knockout victories under the UFC, with his other three wins coming on the judges’ scorecards.
Ribovics has alternated between wins and losses across his last four appearances. He followed a split decision defeat to Nasrat Haqparast with a unanimous decision win over Elves Brener before being submitted by Mateusz Gamrot in April. He returned to winning ways in August by stopping Edson Barboza in the second round.

King Green 3.00
Esteban Ribovics 1.40
PREDICTION:
Ribovics will take confidence from his stoppage victory over Barboza and has the finishing ability to make this a difficult assignment. Green, on the other hand, arrives with four straight victories and has finished each of his last three opponents. I believe the American’s experience and current form will help him get the better of the exchanges, with Green taking a competitive fight by decision.
