Cong Goes Full Joker During UFC Macau Face Off

Cong is at it again, showing up at her UFC Macau face off in full Joker paint.

The UFC has once again been Jokerfied by Wang Cong during the UFC Macau weigh-ins.

Cong is a sanda champion and amateur boxing World Championships medalist who came into the UFC with an 8-0 kickboxing record and 5-0 MMA record. She improved to 6-0 with a blistering 62 second knockout of Victoria Leonardo at a UFC Fight Night in August, and now she looks to do something similar against Gabriella Fernandes in Macau.

Oh, did we mention she holds a win over flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko? That kind of makes her the Pereira of the women’s division, and just like Pereira she likes to get done up for the weigh-ins. While Pereira wears the ceremonial warpaint of his native Pataxó tribe, Cong goes full Joker.

Showing up with the iconic white facepaint and red smile, Cong fired finger guns at Fernandes repeatedly before talking some trash in Chinese. Fernandes was baffled, shaking her head in confusion and saying “What?”

“Killer me kill-ah you,” Cong replied.

They finished the face off respectfully with a handshake but Cong made it clear on social media that she was there to destroy.

“Sorry. No mercy on Saturday,” she wrote on Instagram, adding knife and clown emojis to the message.

UFC Macau goes down Saturday morning for those of us in North America — get ready to wake up at 3 a.m. ET to catch the prelims and the six fight main card at 6 a.m. ET. Cong is set to fight third on the main card following a light heavyweight scrap between Carlos Ulberg and Volkan Oezdemir, which tells you how much star potential the UFC feels “Joker” has in China.
