UFC 332: Silva vs. Wang was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on October 3, 2026, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States.
Background The event marked the promotion's fifth visit to Salt Lake City and first since UFC 307 in October 2024. This was the first time the entire main card of a numbered event aired on CBS.
A UFC Women's Flyweight Championship bout for the vacant title between Natália Silva and Wang Cong headlined the event. 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. 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.
A middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Championship challenger Marvin Vettori and Ismail Naurdiev was added to this event. 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 postponement.
Marcus McGhee and Bernardo Sopaj were expected to meet in a bantamweight bout at the preliminary card. However, Sopaj pulled out due to injury just three days before the event and was replaced by promotional newcomer Anthony Romero in a featherweight contest.
At the weigh-ins, Esteban Ribovics weighed in at 156.5 pounds, half a pound over the lightweight non-title fight limit. His bout proceeded at catchweight and he was fined 20 percent of his purse, which went to his opponent King Green.
