This fight has the potential redefine their careers as a victory for da Silva could halt her recent struggles and re-establish herself as a contender in the flyweight division, proving that she still has the striking flair to compete at a high level. <\/p><p>Her UFC tenure has shown moment of brilliance with her aggressive style, but consistency is a challenge she hasn&rsquo;t conquered yet. A win for her will most likely boost her rankings stock, but what&rsquo;s more important is gaining back her confidence.<\/p><p>For Cong, a rising star with a dynamic striking background, a win could put her into the discussion of the flyweight elite, marking her as a serious prospect. Her UFC performances have displayed promises, blending precision and power, though she still lacks experience compared to the fighter she&rsquo;s taking on. Overall, this fight is a critical point in both their careers as da Silva seeks redemption and Cong aims to solidify her arrival in the UFC. The outcome could shape their paths in UFC&rsquo;s competitive flyweight landscape.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ariane da Silva vs. Wang Cong Preview<\/h2><p>At UFC 316 on June 7, 2025, Ariane da Silva (17-10-0) faces Wang Cong (7-1-0) in a women&rsquo;s flyweight early prelim matchup, that is bound to be exciting to watch. Da Silva, who is also known as &ldquo;Queen of Violence,&rdquo; for her knockouts early on, has struggled recently, dropping two fights against Karine Silva, and Jasmine Jasudavicius in 2024, with a submission loss exposing her ground game weakness. <\/p><p>Her six UFC wins, including four knockouts, show her striking pedigree. However, da Silva reportedly had a six-pound weight miss at weigh-ins, due to benign brain tumor, which has raised some concerns about her preparation.<\/p><p>Wang Cong, a former Sanda World champion, brings 2-1 UFC record including a 62-second knockout of Victoria Leonardo in her UFC debut in August 2024, and a unanimous decision win over Bruna Brasil recently. Her aggressive striking, and a terrific takedown defense, has her as the favorite to win the fight. A victory could put Cong into the rankings of the flyweight division, setting up bigger fights in the near future. <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ariane da Silva vs. Wang Cong MMA Betting Odds<\/h2><p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.az.betmgm.com\/en\/sports\/mma-45\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a>, Wang Cong is the heavy favorite, -600, to take home the victory, disregarding Ariane da Silva&rsquo;s experience, by making her the +425 underdogs headed into UFC 316. While da Silva&rsquo;s two consecutive losses was certainly a factor, missing the weight by 6 pounds shows that da Silva may not be as prepared as we would like to see, as she&rsquo;s dealing with benign brain tumor, according to the latest reports.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" class=\"trk-cta-img\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Image\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}' rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/unnamed-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60491\" style=\"width:628px;height:auto\"><\/a><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ariane da Silva vs. Wang Cong Predictions and Picks<\/h2><p>Ariane da Silva missed the weight by 6 pounds and was fined 30 percent of her purse. While da Silva has excellent submission skills, her lack of wrestling skills is what hurts her chances against Cong. While Cong is not the type to take the fight to the floor, she can defend takedowns. However, da Silva is the superior grappler between the two, and if she can take Cong to the ground and hold her there, she could win the fight.<\/p><p>On the other hand, Wang Cong is a great up-and-coming fighter, but lacks submission defense, as we saw her lose recently against Gabriella Fernandez via tapping out. The fight is likely going to be very close, and both the fighters have their owns sets of weaknesses and strengths.<\/p><p><strong>Official Predictions:<\/strong><em><strong> Wang Cong via Split Decision<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are only a couple of hours away from UFC 316, and one of the lesser talked about fights is the women&rsquo;s flyweight bout, as Ariane da Silva faces Wang Cong.
