UFC 332 is set to deliver a packed night of fights on Saturday from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, featuring a women’s flyweight title bout between Natalia Silva and Wang Cong as the main event. The evening’s card, streaming on Paramount+ and airing on CBS at 8 p.m. ET, also includes a bantamweight clash between former champion Deiveson Figueiredo and Payton Talbott, alongside a lightweight fight pitting King Green against Esteban Ribovics.
The event kicks off with early prelims at 4 p.m. ET, followed by prelims at 6 p.m. ET. The card showcases a range of weight classes, including welterweight, middleweight, and lightweight matchups. Roberto Soldić faces Khaos Williams in a welterweight bout, while Ateba Gautier meets Roman Kopylov at middleweight.

Saturday’s UFC 332 shares the combat sports spotlight with Ben Whittaker’s IBF light heavyweight final title eliminator against Conor Wallace at Utilita Arena Birmingham. Whittaker, known for his distinctive fighting style, is expected to make his ring walk around 5 p.m. ET, overlapping with the UFC prelims. The fight will stream on DAZN, with prelims starting at noon ET and the main card at 2 p.m. ET.
Friday night offers a choice between PFL MENA 11 from Riyadh, featuring semifinals in the 2026 tournament across multiple weight classes, and WWE SmackDown from Ball Arena in Denver at 8 p.m. ET on USA Network.

UFC 332 does not feature a major star in the main event but has drawn interest for its competitive lineup and the possibility of emerging talents making a statement. The Silva versus Wang fight is anticipated to be a striking-heavy contest, with both women favouring stand-up exchanges. The card’s diversity of divisions and styles offers fans a broad spectrum of matchups.
Meanwhile, SmackDown’s Money in the Bank qualifiers are shaping up to be a significant pro wrestling event. The triple-threat matches on Friday night will determine the final participants in the ladder matches at the upcoming Money in the Bank pay-per-view. Given the names involved, the episode could be essential viewing for wrestling fans tracking the build to the summer’s signature event.
No events are scheduled this weekend for RAF, BKB, LFA, or OKTAGON, with several of those promotions’ next shows set for October. RAF 14 has been moved to October 23, LFA 243 to October 9, and OKTAGON 95 to October 17.
The combat sports weekend is anchored by UFC 332’s main card at 8 p.m. ET Saturday, followed by Whittaker’s high-stakes bout earlier that day, and the Money in the Bank qualifiers on Friday night. Fans have a range of options, from MMA tournaments in Riyadh to wrestling ladder matches in Denver.
