Fight Summary
The matchup played out as a classic “striker vs. grappler” battle. Wang Cong used her superior kickboxing pedigree to outwork Moura on the feet, showcasing crisp, precise distance striking and high-volume output. Moura tried to implement a wrestling-heavy game plan to drag Wang into deep water on the canvas, attempting 12 takedowns throughout the 3-round bout but succeeding on only 3 of them.
- Striking Dominance: Wang effectively neutralized Moura’s forward pressure by landing 39 significant strikes out of 71 attempts (54.9% accuracy) and logging 147 total strikes. Moura was limited to just 12 significant strikes landed out of 34 attempts (35.2% accuracy).
- Grappling Defense: While Moura did find temporary success with control time when managing to complete her rare takedowns, Wang’s active defense and ability to scramble back up prevented Moura from securing any dangerous submissions or devastating ground-and-pound.
Ultimately, Wang’s accurate striking volume and strong takedown defense did enough to secure the victory across all three judges’ scorecards, improving her momentum in the division.
