Natalia Silva and Wang Cong fight for the vacant UFC women’s flyweight title at UFC 332 on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. UFC bills the bout as undisputed flyweight gold, with the main card live on CBS and Paramount+ starting at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
The title is vacant after champion Valentina Shevchenko told the UFC she would be unable to compete for at least a year, per the promotion’s announcement. Silva enters on a 14-fight win streak, with her last three victories over former champions Rose Namajunas, Alexa Grasso, and Jessica Andrade. Wang Cong has won four straight in the Octagon, most recently beating Tracy Cortez at UFC 329 in July. UFC frames both as dynamic strikers capable of highlight-reel moments.
On the official event page, Silva is listed No. 1 and Wang Cong No. 8 at women’s flyweight for the title bout. The co-main is a bantamweight clash between No. 9 Deiveson Figueiredo, the former two-time flyweight champion, and No. 11 Payton Talbott. UFC notes Talbott opened his UFC run with three straight finishes, then beat Felipe Lima and former two-division champion Henry Cejudo before this booking.
Also on the announced card: Damian Pinas, with first-round knockouts in each of his first two UFC fights, meets Contender Series standout Andrey Pulyaev at middleweight. King Green faces Esteban Ribovics; Ateba Gautier meets Roman Kopylov; and Imanol Rodriguez takes on Alden Coria.
UFC lists early prelims at 4 p.m. ET on Paramount+ and UFC Fight Pass, prelims at 6 p.m. ET, and the main card at 8 p.m. ET on Paramount+ and CBS.
