Wang Cong Survived Moura’s Submission Threat to Win
Wang Cong defeated Eduarda Moura by unanimous decision on February 7, 2026, at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. Scores of 30–27, 29–28 and 29–28 followed a contest in which Wang’s striking success was interrupted by a serious grappling threat.
The matchup and opening exchanges
The scheduled flyweight pairing proceeded after both competitors exceeded the allowance. The official weigh-in listed Wang at 127.5 pounds and Moura at 127, making the actual weights an important detail of the matchup.
Wang attacked the body during the opening round and found further success late. A knockdown created an opportunity for elbows from top position, but Moura remained in the fight and reached the interval.
How the contest developed
Moura changed the complexion of the second with a takedown and extended control. She took the back, locked a body triangle and threatened a rear-naked choke, forcing Wang to spend valuable time defending rather than striking.
Wang survived that submission danger and recovered momentum in the final round. A takedown exchange left her above Moura, where short punches opened further damage and a choke attempt added another threat.
The official outcome
Moura continued defending without being finished, leaving the outcome to the judges. Their unanimous decision moved Wang to four wins in five UFC appearances and a 9–1 professional record after a performance combining offense with a crucial spell of submission defense.
