Following the conclusion of UFC 331, where Joshua Van retained his flyweight championship against Alexandre Pantoja, the Ultimate Fighting Championship has shifted its venue from Los Angeles to the Delta Center in Salt Lake City for UFC 332.
The main event is scheduled for Saturday, October 3, with preliminary fights beginning at 4 p.m. ET (1 p.m. PT) and the main card kicking off at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT). The headliner features Brazilian contender Natalia Silva, holding a record of 20-5-1, facing Chinese fighter Wang Cong, who stands at 30-6-0. They will compete in a five-round bout for the vacant UFC Women’s Flyweight Championship.
Silva enters as the favorite due to her powerful striking style, while Wang Cong, fighting as the underdog, relies on a kickboxing background and rapid combinations to potentially secure an upset victory.
The high-profile nature of the event in Utah is expected to draw notable celebrity attendees, including stand-up comedian Theo Von, former champion Conor McGregor, and Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith, all of whom have previously appeared at MMA events in the state.
For viewers seeking to watch the card without purchasing a traditional pay-per-view, UFC 332 will be streamed live on Paramount+. The platform offers access to the event through its Essential plan, which costs $8.99 per month. Although Paramount+ currently does not offer a free trial, new users can sign up for a $1, 30-day trial of Walmart+ membership, which includes Paramount+ as one of its benefits. Beyond streaming, Walmart+ subscribers receive additional perks such as fuel discounts, free delivery, and exclusive deals.
Alternatively, cord-cutters can utilize DirecTV’s streaming service. The Premier Package provides access to over 185 channels and includes Paramount+ for $139.99 during the first month, dropping to $169.99 thereafter. A five-day free trial is also available for those looking to watch the card at no upfront cost.
Beyond the main event, the card features several other notable matchups. The co-main event sees Bantamweight Deiveson Figueiredo take on Payton Talbott. Other fights include King Green versus Esteban Ribovics, Roberto Soldić against Khaos Williams, and Ateba Gautier facing Roman Kopylov.
Earlier in the evening, prelims will feature Imanol Rodríguez against Alden Coria, Damian Pinas vs. Andrey Pulyaev, Marcus McGhee facing Anthony Romero, and Anthony Wint taking on Lucas Armand.
The early prelims, starting at 4 p.m. ET, will showcase a stacked lineup including Rafael dos Anjos against Alexander Hernandez, Marvin Vettori versus Ismail Naurdiev, and Johnny Walker facing Mick Parkin.
For fans wishing to attend the event in person, tickets remain available through various retailers including Ticketmaster, StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, and Gametime for the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
DirecTV streaming at $140 a month just to watch one fight? That’s insane pricing. Streaming should be affordable.
I just want to know if the broadcast commentary team is any good this time. Last card was painful to listen to.
Natalia Silva looks dominant on paper, but Wang Cong’s record is scary. Kickboxing volume can be a nightmare to deal with.
The Walmart+ free trial route for Paramount+ is actually genius. Who knew buying groceries could get you free MMA?
Wait, Conor McGregor is actually going to be there? I thought he retired or something. Maybe this will actually be a good show.
