Natalia Silva has spent more than four years working her way through the UFC flyweight division without a loss. On Saturday night, that run finally brings her to a championship fight.
Silva meets Wang Cong for the vacant women’s flyweight title in the main event of UFC 332 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. The early prelims begin at 4 p.m. ET, followed by the prelims at 6 p.m. ET and the five-fight main card at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+.
The championship became available after Valentina Shevchenko was forced to vacate the belt due to injury, opening the door for two contenders who have taken different paths to Saturday’s main event.
Silva enters at 20-5-1 after winning 14 consecutive fights, including all eight of her UFC appearances. The 29-year-old Brazilian has steadily worked her way up the rankings since making her UFC debut in 2022, with her most recent stretch featuring three straight victories over former champions Jéssica Andrade, Alexa Grasso and Rose Namajunas.
Wang’s climb has been much faster. The 34-year-old made her UFC debut in August 2024 and needed only 62 seconds to knock out Victoria Leonardo. Her lone professional loss followed against Gabriella Fernandes, but Wang has responded by winning four straight, most recently defeating Tracy Cortez at UFC 329.
Saturday will also be the first UFC main event for both women, adding the possibility of five rounds at Salt Lake City’s altitude to a fight that will determine the division’s new champion.
Former two-time flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo meets Payton Talbott in the bantamweight co-main event. Talbott has rebounded from the first loss of his career with victories over Felipe Lima and former two-division champion Henry Cejudo, while Figueiredo enters with wins in three of his last five since moving up to 135 pounds.
The rest of the main card features Esteban Ribovics against King Green at lightweight, former two-division KSW champion Roberto Soldić making his UFC debut against Khaos Williams, and Ateba Gautier facing Roman Kopylov in the main card opener.

Best Bet for UFC 332: Silva vs. Wang
Hard Rock Bet’s Stats Hub highlights a streak that Silva will carry into her first opportunity to become a UFC champion: she has won each of her last 14 professional MMA fights.
Natalia Silva Moneyline (-200): Wang has the striking ability to make this an interesting title fight, but Silva has already proven she can consistently handle high-level opponents with differing styles.
That is extremely important when looking at the competition Silva has faced to reach this point. Andrade brought power and pressure, Grasso presented a well-rounded striking and grappling threat, and Namajunas gave Silva an experienced former champion with the movement and technique to compete with her at range. Silva beat all three and now enters Saturday without a loss since 2017.
Wang’s offense is dangerous enough that Silva cannot simply overwhelm her on the feet. She is one of the division’s busiest and most accurate strikers, and her kickboxing background gives Silva plenty to account for over a potential 25 minutes.
But Silva has been particularly difficult for opponents to pin down. Her movement allows her to attack without remaining stationary for extended exchanges, while her 90% takedown defense has made it difficult for opponents to consistently change the fight by putting her on the mat.
There is also a difference in what the two women have already been asked to navigate inside the UFC. Wang has climbed quickly and deserves this opportunity after four consecutive wins, but Silva has spent eight fights building an unbeaten UFC résumé and has already gone through three former champions to reach her shot at the belt.
At -200, we’re backing that stronger body of work against proven UFC competition to translate when the stakes increase Saturday night. Natalia Silva Moneyline is our best bet for UFC 332.
