- Natalia Silva meets Wang Cong for the vacant women's title in the UFC 332 main event Saturday in Salt Lake City, with Silva installed as a -205 favorite and Cong a +170 underdog via DraftKings.
- Valentina Shevchenko vacated the title after suffering a back and shoulder injury that will sideline her for at least a year, opening the door for Silva or Cong to make championship history.
- Payton Talbott draws former two-time flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo in the co-main at a steep -750 price, with Figueiredo having lost four of his last five bouts dating back to 2024.
- All four CBS Sports experts (Brian Campbell, Brent Brookhouse, Shakiel Mahjouri, Brandon Wise) picked Silva to win, citing her perfect 8-0 UFC record, 14-fight overall win streak, and wins over three former champions.
- Talbott said potential 2026 bouts against Sean O'Malley fell through, leaving Saturday as his expected lone fight of the year; he previously took down Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo three times.
- Roberto Soldic, a three-time KSW champion, makes his UFC debut against Khaos Williams at -238 odds, following Salahdine Parnasse's KSW-to-UFC pipeline.
- UFC 332 airs Saturday at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and streams on Paramount+, where subscriptions start at $8.99/month or $89.99/year.
Why it matters: Shevchenko's injury clears the way for a new face to own the division, and all four experts agree it is her coronation rather than a competitive fight. The co-main is essentially a showcase for Talbott, a 28-year-old entering his athletic prime, against a 38-year-old Figueiredo who has missed weight and been finished inside two rounds in his last two appearances.
