UFC 332: Silva vs. Wang is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that is scheduled to take place on October 3, 2026, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States.[1]
Background
[edit]The event will mark the promotion's fifth visit to Salt Lake City and first since UFC 307 in October 2024.[1] This will be the first numbered event main card to air on CBS.[2]
A UFC Women's Flyweight Championship bout for the vacant title between Natália Silva and Wang Cong is scheduled to headline the event.[3] The original championship bout was supposed to be between current two-time champion Valentina Shevchenko and Silva, which was initially scheduled to serve as the co-main event and later moved to the main event.[4][5][6] However, Shevchenko withdrew due to a ligament injury to her back and shoulder that will leave her sidelined for a year, which led to the cancellation of the bout and the title being vacated.[7][8][9]
A middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Championship challenger Marvin Vettori and Ismail Naurdiev is scheduled for this event.[10] The pairing had been originally slated for UFC Fight Night: Fiziev vs. Torres in June, but Vettori was forced to withdraw due to a broken rib, which resulted in the bout's cancellation.[11][12]
