UFC announces Natalia Silva and Wang Cong for UFC 332 main event

Summary

The UFC announced that Natalia Silva will fight Wang Cong for the vacant Women’s Flyweight title at UFC 332. The event is scheduled for October 3, 2026, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The booking has drawn criticism from some analysts regarding the caliber of the main event for a numbered card. Former heavyweight fighter Brendan Schaub expressed dissatisfaction with the selection of the headliner, suggesting it reflects a shift in the promotion's broadcast strategy. Despite the criticism of the top billing, the card includes several other bouts, such as King Green versus Esteban Ribovics and the heavyweight debut of Johnny Walker against Mick Parkin. The event is set to air on CBS and Paramount+.
