Main event: Silva vs Wang for the vacant flyweight title

According to UFC, champion Valentina Shevchenko was forced out after she told the promotion she would be unable to compete for at least a year, so the headliner is now for the vacant women's flyweight title. It goes to the winner of Natalia Silva, ranked No. 1 at women's flyweight, and Wang Cong, ranked No. 8.

Silva is on a 14-fight winning streak, and her last three wins came against former champions Rose Namajunas, Alexa Grasso and Jessica Andrade. She is 8-0 in the UFC, and her last loss was a decision to Marina Rodriguez in December 2017 (UFC athlete page).

Wang has won four straight in the Octagon. Most recently she beat Tracy Cortez by unanimous decision at UFC 329 in July 2026. UFC bills the fight as a meeting of two strikers who can both produce highlight-reel moments.

Record, finishes, height, reach and place of origin are taken from the UFC athlete pages; the records and finishes also match the Wikipedia fight tables (checked 23 September 2026). Centimetre figures are converted from inches.

One detail worth knowing: UFC's own rankings page (updated 22 September 2026) still lists Shevchenko as women's flyweight champion. The statement that the title is vacant comes from UFC's 5 September card announcement. Shevchenko's record so far is on her KIAI profile.

Second on the main card: Figueiredo vs Talbott

Listed directly under the main event on UFC's page is a bantamweight fight between No. 9 Deiveson Figueiredo and No. 11 Payton Talbott. UFC notes that Talbott opened his UFC career with three straight finishes, went on to beat Felipe Lima, and later earned a dominant win over former two-division champion Henry Cejudo. Figueiredo is a former two-time flyweight champion now competing at bantamweight.

On the prelims, Damian Pinas has won both of his first two UFC fights by first-round knockout, according to UFC, and faces fellow Contender Series graduate Andrey Pulyaev.

How to watch UFC 332 in Japan (U-NEXT)

UFC's distribution partner in Japan is U-NEXT. In November 2025 UFC announced it had renewed the partnership through 2031, with U-NEXT carrying every UFC numbered event (13 a year) and Fight Night (30 a year) live. UFC 332 is a numbered event, so it falls under that deal.

U-NEXT's UFC page says it streams every UFC event live as part of its subscription, at ¥2,189 a month including tax, with a 31-day free trial for new sign-ups made through that page (figures stated on the page as of September 2026). However, as of 23 September 2026 UFC 332 was not yet listed in that page's section of upcoming events, so check U-NEXT's own event page for its stream start time once it appears.

One thing that may confuse viewers: opened from Japan, UFC's event page shows a "Watch on UFC Fight Pass" button for each segment. UFC Fight Pass's Japan page, though, describes a fight library, original shows and weekly live combat events, and does not mention live UFC numbered events in Japan. The partner UFC names for Japan is U-NEXT. Prices and the time-zone arithmetic are covered in How to Watch UFC in Japan.

In the United States, the main card is on CBS and Paramount+.
