We have another exciting numbered UFC event on deck this Saturday night when UFC 332: Silva vs. Wang takes place at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
With 14 matches slated for the card, there is no shortage of storylines to watch out for. Here are the fights that you should most be looking forward to watching this weekend at UFC 332 (8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT on Sportsnet+).
Vacant UFC Women’s flyweight title on the line
The UFC women’s flyweight title is on the line in the main event of UFC 332 when Natalia Silva takes on Wang Cong to claim championship gold in the women’s 125-pound weight class.
Silva and Wang were matched up after former champion Valentina Shevchenko was recently forced to vacate her belt due to injuries.
Silva is 8-0 in the UFC and has looked like a title contender ever since she defeated Canadian standout Jasmine Jasudavicius in her 2022 debut.
As for Wang, she is 5-1 in the UFC and has won four straight fights since a big upset loss to Gabriella Fernandes in 2024, which only marked a temporary setback in her career.
With Silva and Wang both primarily strikers, this should be a very exciting matchup with a title on the line.
Payton Talbott looking to break through at bantamweight
In the co-main event of UFC 332, bantamweight contender Payton Talbott looks to break through to the top of the weight class when he takes on veteran Deiveson Figueiredo.
Talbott is 5-1 in the UFC, and he has won two straight fights since shockingly losing as a massive betting favourite to Raoni Barcelos in January 2025. The loss does not look so bad in hindsight, given how high a level Barcelos has been fighting at since.
Coming off a win over former UFC champion Henry Cejudo in his last bout, Talbott now takes on another former UFC champ in Figueriedo, who has struggled as of late with four losses in his last five fights.
Should Talbott win this fight as expected, look for the UFC matchmakers to push him up the rankings and match him up against someone in the top five of the weight class in his next fight.
Fan favourite 'unc' King Green returns
Everyone’s fan favourite "unc" returns to the octagon when King Green fights for the fourth time already in 2026 against Esteban Ribovics in a potential Fight of the Night candidate at UFC 332.
Green may be 40 years old, but don’t tell him, because he’s won four straight fights and is fighting at the highest level of his UFC career since joining the organization back in 2013.
Going up against Ribovics, another fighter who prefers to stand and bang, should make for an absolutely amazing matchup and one that fans will be on their feet for as long as it lasts.
Roberto Soldic makes highly anticipated UFC debut
One of the top welterweight fighters outside the UFC makes his highly anticipated UFC debut when Roberto Soldic goes against UFC veteran Khaos Williams in what should be a firefight.
Soldic is the former KSW welterweight champion and holds a notable KO win over former UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis from 2018. Fans have been wanting to see Soldic in the UFC for a long time, but he was stuck in contract purgatory with ONE Championship.
Thankfully, his contract with ONE has ended and he can now make his UFC debut, with the matchmakers giving him a very exciting matchup against a fellow knockout artist in Williams.
With 27 career knockout wins between these two, don’t expect this fight to go the distance.
Ateba Gautier looks to continue undefeated UFC run
Kicking off the main card, middleweight knockout artist Ateba Gautier will look to improve to 6-0 in the UFC when he battles Roman Kopylov in what should be a striker’s delight.
Both Gautier and Kopylov prefer to stand and trade, and with both men having legitimate knockout power, this fight is extremely unlikely to go the distance at Utah’s high elevation.
This is the best opponent whom Gautier has fought yet in his career, and if he can get past Kopylov impressively, look for the UFC to give Gautier a top-10 fighter his next time out.
Anthony Wint makes quick return to the octagon
One of the top heavyweight prospects in the sport today makes a quick return to the octagon when Anthony Wint takes on UFC newcomer Lucas Armand on the preliminary card.
Wint, a former NFL player for the New York Jets, earned a UFC contract with a 34-second knockout win on Dana White’s Contender Series in August. He then made his UFC debut 11 days later, picking up a first-round stoppage win over Terrance Chatman at UFC Sacramento.
Now, six weeks later, Wint returns for his second UFC fight when he goes up against Armand, who is making his UFC debut and who is looking to end Wint’s hype train in this contest.
UFC legend Rafael dos Anjos makes comeback
After nearly two years away due to injuries, former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos battles Alexander Hernandez in a lightweight bout on the early prelims in his return to 155 pounds.
Dos Anjos has been moving between welterweight and lightweight the last several years, but at age 41 he will make his comeback at 155 pounds as he looks to snap his three-fight losing skid.
This could be a make-or-break fight for dos Anjos, as a win over the underrated Hernandez would signal that he’s still got it, but a loss could potentially mark the end of his MMA career.
Court McGee’s retirement fight
Long-time UFC welterweight fighter and Utah native Court McGee will compete in the final fight of his MMA career when he battles Eric Nolan in the very first preliminary card of the night.
The 41-year-old McGee won “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 11 in 2010 and has been a mainstay of the UFC roster ever since, holding a 11-13 record during his UFC run, which includes a notable victory over former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker in 2013.
After 16 years of fighting at the highest level of the sport, McGee is now set to make the final walk of his MMA career, and he’ll do so at home in the friendly confines of his native Utah, with the chance to earn an upset win over Nolan, who has struggled in the UFC with a 0-2 record.
