- UFC 332 headlined Saturday at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City with Natalia Silva (-205) facing Wang Cong (+170) for the vacant women's flyweight championship
- Valentina Shevchenko vacated the title after an injury forced her withdrawal, allowing the division to move forward rather than wait on her return
- Natalia Silva entered the bout a perfect 8-0 in the Octagon, with recent wins over former champions Jessica Andrade, Alexa Grasso, and Rose Namajunas
- Payton Talbott defeated former two-time flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo via first-round TKO in the co-main event, after his hoped-for 2026 fights against Americans like Sean O'Malley fell through
- Roberto Soldic, a three-time KSW champion, won his UFC debut over Khaos Williams by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-27, 29-27)
- The main card aired in full on CBS, marking the first such broadcast of the Paramount era and the first since Bellator 290 in 2023
- First-round finishes dominated the card, with Talbott, Ribovics, Roman Kopylov, Imanol Rodriguez, Damian Pinas, Marcus McGhee, Anthony Wint, Johnny Walker, and Jacobe Smith all stopping their opponents inside one round
Why it matters: Shevchenko's injury created an opening for a new women's flyweight champion, and Silva — unbeaten at 8-0 with three former-titleholder wins — earned her first title shot. The full-card CBS broadcast also marks a distribution milestone for UFC under Paramount, the first numbered event to air that way since Bellator 290 in 2023.
