Valentina Shevchenko withdraws from UFC 332 due to an undisclosed injury

Summary

Valentina Shevchenko has withdrawn from her scheduled bout against Natalia Silva at UFC 332, which is set to take place October 3, 2026, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. The withdrawal leaves the event without a confirmed main or co-main event, as the UFC removes the matchup from its promotional materials. The organization is currently managing a depleted roster of champions, with titleholders such as Sean Strickland, Carlos Ulberg, and Kayla Harrison sidelined by various injuries. Dana White stated during a press conference on Tuesday that the promotion expects to announce a new main event for the card later this week. Deiveson Figueiredo remains scheduled to face Payton Talbott at the event, which currently features no championship bouts on the lineup.
