Ariane da Silva vs. Wang Cong Prediction
Ariane da Silva (nee Lipski) a.k.a. The Queen of Violence hasn’t done much violence lately. She’s 17-10 overall, with both of her 2024 fights resulting in defeat. First, she lost by unanimous decision to Karine Silva; then, she got submitted by Jasmine Jasudavicius.
In those two fights, she suffered a total of eight takedowns. This needs to worry her as Wang Cong a.k.a. The Joker lands 1.61 TDs per fight on average. The Chinese fighter is a rising star of WMMA, who does have some weaknesses.
