Natalia Silva is the new queen of the women's flyweight division.
Silva captured the UFC women's flyweight championship this past Saturday at UFC 332, instantly sparking speculation about who she will look to defend her newly won title against first.
Anticipating her next move, the oddsmakers at BetOnline Sports & Casino have already opened betting odds for potential marquee matchups against both former champion Alexa Grasso and division icon Valentina Shevchenko.
Alexa Grasso +250
Natalia Silva -300
Natalia Silva +165
Valentina Shevchenko -190
Grasso leads the list, per Sherdog:
"In the main event, Silva (21-5-1, 9-0 UFC) outsmarted and outstruck Wang (10-2, 5-2 UFC) to capture the vacant UFC women’s flyweight championship via unanimous decision in a largely uneventful match. Thanks to her pressure and precision, Silva picked up 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 marks from the judges for her 15th straight victory, her ninth inside the Octagon. With former divisional queen Valentina Shevchenko out for a while, the only fight that makes sense for Silva is against Grasso (18-5-1, 10-5-1 UFC). The Lobo Gym MMA standout looked strong against Manon Fiorot in their Noche UFC 4 contest, upending her opponent on all scorecards. The former divisional titleholder has the right to reclaim her throne."
