Wang Cong has rejected criticism over her place in the UFC 332 main event, where she is due to challenge Natalia Silva for the flyweight world title on Saturday.
Some critics have questioned whether Cong deserves the opportunity to compete for the championship. She has dismissed those claims ahead of the contest.
Cong has also spoken about the Joker persona associated with her public image. She says the character helps her recognise fear in her opponents, adding a psychological element to her approach before the title fight.
The bout with Silva will determine the next UFC flyweight world champion. Cong’s response to her critics and her belief in the value of her persona will form part of the build-up to Saturday’s contest.
