This was Wang's first win since defeating Paula Luna on Road to UFC this past May.
She made her professional MMA debut in 2022, competing for promotions such as UAE Warriors and Kunlun Fighting World Championship while going 4-0 with two finishes.
Leonardo, meanwhile, has now lost four of five since earning a contract on Dana White's Contender Series in 2020.
Saturday's event will be headlined by a crucial middleweight contest between former title challenger Jared Cannonier and the fast-charging Caio Borralho. Elsewhere, the likes of Neil Magny and Angela Hill will make the walk to the Octagon.
