Wang Cong explained that eye pokes hindered her vision during her UFC 332 women's flyweight title fight loss against Natalia Silva. Cong dropped a five-round decision to Silva in Saturday night's main event clash. Following the bout, UFC CEO Dana White suggested that Cong would likely regret not pressing the action sooner and would hate herself once she reviewed the footage.
