UFC 332: Live Results and Fight Recap

Delinquent MMA

UFC 332 takes place Saturday, October 3, 2026, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, with early prelims beginning at 4 p.m. ET on Paramount+, the preliminary card at 6 p.m. ET on Paramount+, and the main card at 8 p.m. ET on Paramount+ PPV. The 14-fight card marks the UFC’s return to Salt Lake City, a market that has seen strong attendance in previous visits, and delivers across all three tiers with notable names from lightweight to heavyweight and a women’s flyweight title bout headlining a stacked night of action.

Natalia Silva (20-5-1) and Wang Cong (10-1) compete for the women’s flyweight title in the main event, with Silva bringing a perfect 8-0 UFC record built on five finishes by KO/TKO and seven career submissions, against a Chinese challenger who has gone 10-1 with two stoppages in each category and earned this bout by defeating multiple ranked opponents. The co-main event features former two-time UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo (25-7-1) operating at bantamweight against knockout artist Payton Talbott (11-1), who carries seven wins by KO and presents Figueiredo with the most significant test of his career at 135 pounds. Together, the top two fights offer contrasting styles and high finish potential.

Below those marquee bouts, the main card adds a welterweight clash between two of the division’s most dangerous finishers in Roberto Soldic (21-4) and Khaos Williams (16-5), plus a middleweight bout between Ateba Gautier (11-1) and Roman Kopylov (15-5) that pits fighters with 21 combined knockout wins. The preliminary card features Marvin Vettori (19-10-1) against Ismail Naurdiev (25-8) in a meaningful middleweight contest, Rafael dos Anjos (32-17) in what may rank among his final top-level appearances, and a highly anticipated heavyweight collision at the top of the prelims between rising British contender Mick Parkin (10-1) and Johnny Walker (22-10). Results update below as each fight concludes.

Main Card

Natalia Silva vs. Wang Cong

Women’s Flyweight Championship, Main Event

Official Result: Natalia Silva (21-5-1) defeats Wang Cong (10-2) via Unanimous Decision (49-46, 48-47, 48-47) (Round 5, 5:00)

Silva controlled the championship rounds from the opening bell with crisp footwork and accurate counter-striking that kept Wang Cong off rhythm through the first half of the fight. A second-round knockdown demonstrated the reach of Silva’s power and sent an early message that this would not be a competitive striking exchange on equal terms. Wang Cong found a second wind in the championship rounds and pushed hard in the final two frames, outworking Silva in sustained exchanges and landing the heavier shots of the late going. The turnaround was not enough to overcome the deficit on two of the three scorecards, and all three judges returned decisions in Silva’s favor, with one judge scoring it 49-46 and the others seeing it 48-47. The victory gives Natalia Silva the vacant women’s flyweight championship and a perfect 9-0 UFC record, built on a combination of finishing instinct and the tactical adjustments that separated her from a game challenger over 25 minutes.

Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Payton Talbott

Bantamweight, Co-Main Event

Official Result: Payton Talbott (12-1) defeats Deiveson Figueiredo (25-8-1) via TKO (punches) (Round 1, 2:09)

Talbott wasted no time announcing himself against the former two-time flyweight champion, dropping Figueiredo in the opening exchange with a right hand before pressing him against the cage. Figueiredo scrambled for takedowns in an attempt to disrupt the onslaught, but Talbott shook free each time and continued landing in combination. A nasty elbow followed by a sustained barrage of ground strikes brought referee Jason Herzog in to wave off the contest at 2:09 of the first round. The 24-year-old called out Sean O’Malley immediately after the finish, staking his claim as the division’s most dangerous finisher with his eighth career knockout victory.

King Green vs. Esteban Ribovics

Lightweight (Catchweight – 156.5 lbs), Main Card

Official Result: Esteban Ribovics (17-3) defeats King Green (36-18-1, 1 NC) via TKO (punches) (Round 1, 4:08)

Ribovics attacked from the opening bell with leg kicks and left hooks, landing a right hook that sent Green to the canvas early. Green rose quickly but was dropped a second time by a left hook, then a third, each time demonstrating the resilience that has defined his career. Herb Dean stopped the contest after the third knockdown at 4:08 of the first round, handing Green his first stoppage loss on the main card and extending Ribovics to seven career first-round finishes.

Khaos Williams vs. Roberto Soldic

Welterweight, Main Card

Official Result: Roberto Soldic (22-4, 1 NC) defeats Khaos Williams (16-6) via Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-27, 29-27) (Round 3, 5:00)

Williams had the better of the opening round, catching Soldic with right hands that twice put him down and controlling the striking exchanges with leg kicks and sharp combinations. Soldic emerged from the corner for round two as a different fighter, landing a left head kick and sustained body-head combinations that reversed the momentum entirely and earned him a 10-8 round on two of the three scorecards. The third round saw Soldic maintain his pressure with left hands before securing a late takedown and controlling the final minutes on the canvas. The unanimous decision gave Soldic a winning debut in the UFC at age 31.

Ateba Gautier vs. Roman Kopylov

Official Result: Roman Kopylov (16-5) defeats Ateba Gautier (11-2) via TKO (punches) (Round 1, 3:12)

Kopylov controlled the striking exchanges with footwork and combinations, landing a jab that rocked Gautier before following with a right hook that dropped him. Kopylov finished with ground-and-pound at 3:12 of the first round, ending the contest before Gautier could use the power that had defined his prior nine knockouts.

Prelims

Imanol Rodriguez vs. Alden Coria

Official Result: Imanol Rodriguez (8-0) defeats Alden Coria (13-4, 1 NC) via TKO (kick) (Round 1, 3:11)

Rodriguez finished the fight with a teep kick to the body that put Coria down and left him unable to continue at 3:11 of the first round. The Spanish flyweight prospect had been breaking down Coria with fast hands before the front kick to the midsection ended matters cleanly, extending his unbeaten run to 8-0 and making a convincing statement in a fight that represented a meaningful step up in opposition. Coria, a durable veteran with 13 wins and experience against quality competition, had no answer for the combination of hand speed and kicking range Rodriguez brought from the opening bell.

Damian Pinas vs. Andrey Pulyaev

Official Result: Damian Pinas (11-1) defeats Andrey Pulyaev (10-6) via KO (punches) (Round 1, 1:15)

Pinas opened with leg kicks before catching a Pulyaev kick attempt and unloading a right hand that wobbled his Russian opponent. He swarmed from there, landing two more right hands including a fight-ending uppercut that left Pulyaev unconscious at 1:15 of the first round. The finish extended Pinas to three consecutive first-round knockouts in the UFC, a finishing sequence that has moved him into the conversation for a ranked middleweight opponent. Pulyaev, who came in 10-5, absorbed clean shots and had no answer for the power differential once the fight moved to the feet.

Marcus McGhee vs. Anthony Romero

Official Result: Marcus McGhee (12-2) defeats Anthony Romero (7-3, 1 NC) via TKO (punches) (Round 1, 4:58)

McGhee needed less than five full minutes to put away a late-replacement opponent who had accepted the fight on three days notice, landing a jab knockdown midway through the round before swarming with ground strikes to force the stoppage at 4:58. The UFC featherweight has now won four straight and finished his last three opponents, demonstrating the kind of finishing instinct at 145 pounds that keeps his name relevant in the division. Romero, stepping in for the injured Bernardo Sopaj on 72 hours notice, showed resilience in taking the fight but was overmatched on the night.

Anthony Wint vs. Lucas Armand

Official Result: Anthony Wint (9-0) defeats Lucas Armand (6-1) via TKO (punches) (Round 1, 0:23)

Wint barely needed half a minute to announce his UFC arrival, charging at Armand from the opening bell and pressing him into the cage before unleashing a swarm of punches that forced the stoppage at 0:23 of the first round. The 9-0 heavyweight gave the early prelim crowd exactly what they came to see, turning a fellow unbeaten prospect’s debut into a highlight-reel statement. Armand, making his own UFC debut, had no opportunity to settle in before the fight was over.

Early Prelims

Johnny Walker vs. Mick Parkin

Official Result: Johnny Walker (23-10) defeats Mick Parkin (10-2) via KO (knees) (Round 1, 3:35)

Walker announced his heavyweight arrival in emphatic style, landing a left knee in the Thai plum clinch that dropped Parkin and ended the preliminary headliner at 3:35 of the opening round. It was the kind of finish that made Walker must-see television at 205 pounds, and one that transplates seamlessly to the heavier division. Parkin, who came in 10-1 and had been building toward a ranked fight, faces his first professional setback and a reset in his UFC trajectory.

Rafael dos Anjos vs. Alexander Hernandez

Official Result: Alexander Hernandez (19-9) defeats Rafael dos Anjos (32-18) via TKO (punches) (Round 2, 3:12)

Hernandez delivered the most significant win of his career, dropping the former UFC lightweight champion with a jab early in the second round before finishing with a right hand on the ground at 3:12. The result caps a meaningful early prelim segment for Hernandez, who has now beaten a former champion in his return to relevant competition at 155 pounds.

Marvin Vettori vs. Ismail Naurdiev

Official Result: Ismail Naurdiev (26-8) defeats Marvin Vettori (19-11-1) via Unanimous Decision (Round 3, 5:00)

Naurdiev dictated the terms with leg kicks and constant lateral movement, preventing Vettori from establishing the combination attacks and wrestling he relies on to win close fights. Vettori pressed forward throughout all three rounds but could not close the distance effectively enough to shift the judges’ views, with all three scoring 29-28 in favor of the Austrian-based contender. The result extends Vettori’s losing streak to five consecutive UFC fights.

Court McGee vs. Eric Nolan

Official Result: Eric Nolan (9-5) defeats Court McGee (23-15) via TKO (strikes) (Round 3, 3:26)

Nolan earned the biggest win of his UFC run with a third-round stoppage of McGee, whose 16-year professional career ended with a post-fight retirement announcement. After a competitive opening to the fight, Nolan found range on the feet and hurt McGee with right hands before closing the show at 3:26 of the third round. The result marks Nolan’s first UFC victory after two losses in his promotional debut and first return appearance.

Jacobe Smith vs. Bruce Whitehead

Official Result: Jacobe Smith (13-0) defeats Bruce Whitehead (8-3) via TKO (punches) (Round 1, 1:32)

Smith opened the UFC 332 card in dominant fashion, shooting for a body lock early and slamming Whitehead to the canvas before unloading ground and pound to force the stoppage at 1:32 of the first round. A low blow earlier in the round briefly interrupted the action and allowed Whitehead time to recover, but the reset changed nothing, as Smith returned to his takedown-based attack and finished with the same authority he has shown throughout his 13-fight unbeaten run.
