September 11, 2026Carlos Mendoza3 мин

UFC is set to return to the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, with an event showcasing a blend of established talents and promising newcomers. The main event will feature a highly anticipated bout for the undisputed UFC women's flyweight championship, pitting top-ranked contender Natalia Silva against the eighth-ranked Wang Cong.

The co-main event is equally compelling, with former UFC flyweight champion and ninth-ranked bantamweight contender Deiveson Figueiredo facing rising prospect and eleventh-ranked Payton Talbott.

UFC 332 – SILVA vs. WANG is scheduled for Saturday, October 3, at the Delta Center. For the first time, the entire main card will be broadcast live on both CBS and Paramount+, with a special start time of 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. The preliminary bouts will commence at 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT, with the early prelims kicking off at 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT on Paramount+ and UFC Fight Pass.

The number one ranked fighter, Natalia Silva (20-5-1), hailing from Brazil, is aiming to make a significant impact in her first UFC main event. Since joining the promotion in 2022, Silva has demonstrated her ability to compete at the highest level, securing victories over former champions such as Rose Namajunas, Alexa Grasso, and Jessica Andrade. She now looks to achieve her most significant win to date and claim undisputed UFC gold.

Wang Cong (10-1), representing China, is stepping into her title opportunity with the intention of delivering a memorable performance. A skilled striker, she made a notable entrance into the UFC with a knockout victory over Victoria Leonardo, which was the second fastest in UFC women's flyweight history. Currently on a four-fight winning streak, including her recent triumph over Tracy Cortez, Wang seeks to add Silva to her list of defeated opponents and capture the championship.

Deiveson Figueiredo (25-7-1), from Brazil, is eager to showcase his world championship caliber once more. Widely regarded as one of the greatest flyweights of all time, he transitioned to the bantamweight division in 2023, securing impressive wins against Rob Font, Cody Garbrandt, and Marlon Vera. He now aims to disrupt Talbott's momentum and refocus on climbing the bantamweight rankings.

Payton Talbott (11-1), representing Nevada, makes his first appearance of 2026. A highly regarded prospect since his signing from Dana White’s Contender Series season 7, Talbott has showcased his skills with victories over Henry Cejudo, Felipe Lima, and Cameron Saaiman. He is looking to defeat another former champion and break into the top 10 of his division.
