UAE Warriors 45
17 Oct 2023

Wang controlled most of the UFC Fight Pass bout with measured distance striking and cleaner power shots, taking a unanimous decision over Hadaya in Abu Dhabi. The opening round was her clearest work, as repeated right hands, body hooks and side kicks forced Hadaya into survival clinches. Hadaya rallied in stretches of the second and spent much of the third hunting clinches and trips at the fence, but Wang's balance, underhooks and steadier striking kept the fight in her favor to the final horn.

Key moments

  • Round 1: Wang repeatedly found Hadaya with right hands, right hooks to the body and side kicks, with the commentary team calling it a clinical opening frame
  • Early in round 2, Hadaya changed approach but still got tagged while Wang mixed right hands and short clinch offense before the momentum tightened later in the round
  • Round 3: Hadaya chased fence clinches and trip attempts, but Wang stayed upright with underhook defense and kept managing distance with the cleaner scoring shots
