UFC 332 <\/strong>is live this weekend (Sat., Oct. 3, 2026) from inside Delta Bank Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, streaming exclusively on Paramount+ (watch here). The main event is for Valentina Shevchenko<\/strong>\u2019s recently vacated UFC women\u2019s Flyweight title (more on that here). Natalia Silva <\/strong>vs. Wang Cong<\/strong> will determine who gets that belt (perhaps keeping it warm before \u201cBullet\u201d is back on the scene).<\/p>\n The co-main event on Saturday is Deiveson Figueiredo <\/strong>vs. Payton Talbott<\/strong>. Talbott is looking for a quality win to show he deserves to be in the Bantamweight title picture, while Figueiredo is just looking for any win to prove he still belongs here.<\/p>\n Rounding out the main card is King Green<\/strong> vs. Esteban Ribovics<\/strong> (fun!), Roberto Soldic<\/strong>\u2019s UFC debut against Khaos Williams<\/strong> and Ateba Gautier<\/strong> vs. Roman Kopylov<\/strong>.<\/p>\n UFC 332\u2019s \u201cPrelims\u201d are headlined by Imanol Rodriguez<\/strong> vs. Alden Coria<\/strong>. The undercard also has top prospects Damian Pinas<\/strong>, Anthony Wint<\/strong> and Jacobe Smith<\/strong> on tap. There\u2019s also some veterans down there, too, with Marvin Vettori<\/strong>, Rafael dos Anjos<\/strong> and even Court McGee <\/strong>looking to remind us they are still here.<\/p>\n As always, there\u2019s lots to bet on this card and we\u2019ve got odds for all the fights below:<\/p>\n FIGHT STREAK RESULTS FOR UFC VEGAS 121!!! Get your picks in for UFC 332!!!<\/p>\n Well, we have two new leaders at the top. Rinya Nakamura took out a lot of folks last week, including previous leaders The Sassing Machine and MooseAlmighty. They have been overthrown by the conspiracy of Adam Wagner and Underdog Fan (who picked Deputy Hernandez and Yazmin Jauregui).<\/p>\n Now we have UFC 332… <\/p>\n 125 lbs.: Natalia Silva vs. Wang Cong for vacant flyweight championship<\/p>\n 135 lbs.: Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Payton Talbott 265 lbs.: Johnny Walker vs. Mick Parkin 185 lbs.: Marvin Vettori vs. Ismail Naurdiev Who is going to fall into the Wint Trap this week? I’m going to avoid him and the other big faves (Gautier, Pinas) and go for King Green to get past Esteban Ribovics. <\/p>\n Rec 2<\/span><\/span>CommentsThin Stroke Comment Icon BubbleReply<\/span><\/span><\/span>Read 39 replies<\/span><\/p>\n Natalia Silva goes for gold at UFC 332. Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n Silva<\/strong> earns her shot at gold at UFC 332 thanks to an 8-0 unbeaten run in UFC. Her total unbeaten run goes back 14 fights. Her last loss was to Marina Rodriguez<\/strong> in 2017. In January, Silva got a decision over Rosa Namajunas<\/strong>. Before that she decisioned Alexa Grasso<\/strong> and Jessica Andrade<\/strong>. Of her eight UFC wins, only two are stoppages. That\u2019s a 2023 TKO over Victoria Leonardo<\/strong> and a spinning back kikc on Tereza Bleda<\/strong> the year before.<\/p>\n Wang<\/strong> doesn\u2019t have the record Silva has, but she\u2019s made herself notable due to the personality she brings to her fights and the build-up around them. She burst onto the scene with a brutal KO over Leonardo in 2024 (see that here<\/strong>). In her next fight she was finished by Gabriella Fernandes<\/strong>, while a -950 favorite. Since then she\u2019s won four decisions, including a fight with Eduarda Moura<\/strong> that she missed weight for and didn\u2019t go entirely her own way. Her last fight was in July, when she took a very dull decision over Tracy Cortez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s easy to see why Silva is the favorite here. She\u2019s been very steady over her UFC career; doing what she needs to win, but also not doing anything that exciting. Wang is a little more emotional and that has led to higher highs and lower lows.<\/p>\n I think Silva is the more rounded and more technical fighter. Though, I also think Wang is more capable of producing a moment that can stop a fight. And I think the stage being set here, plays to the advantage of a showman like Wang.<\/p>\n Both these ladies prefer to keep it standing and both land at a decent clip while also being defensively sound.<\/p>\n Against Namajunas, Silva landed 51 significant strikes and held her opponent to just 26 (at a 27 percent accuracy). Namajunas\u2019 career sig. strikes per minute is 3.5, so she should be landing 53 sig. strikes in fifteen minutes. And her career accuracy is 41 percent. Before this Silva held Grasso to 45 sig. strikes at 32 percent accuracy. Based on Grasso\u2019s averages she should be landing 63. And she has a career 41 percent accuracy. So Silva, it seems, is good at making fighters throw and land less than expected.<\/p>\n Wang really showed up against Cortez, landing 137 sig. strikes with 63 percent accuracy. That\u2019s the third time she\u2019s landed over one hundred sig. strikes in a fight. The only fight that went the distance, where she didn\u2019t break 100, was her win over Eduarda Moura. She landed just 39 there, but that\u2019s because a lot of that fight happened on the ground.<\/p>\n So my big question is, can Silva drastically dent Wang\u2019s output and, even if she does, will Wang still be landing more than Silva typically absorbs in a fight. And also, if Wang can land 130-140 sig. strikes in three rounds, how many can she land in five?<\/p>\n This line of thinking has me leaning towards Wang, who I also think hits harder than Silva.<\/p>\n I think we are due for a five round decision here, since neither of these women have a lot of stopping power. And I think Wang is going to be landing the harder looking shots throughout. Silva might chip away with leg kicks and body kicks, but I think Wang\u2019s big swings up top will make more of a difference and that those will be the ones the judges remember.<\/p>\n Who wins the UFC 332 main event?<\/p>\n Closes in 3 days \u2022 78 total votes<\/span>View results<\/p>\n Natalia SilvaWang CongWho cares?Rec 2<\/span><\/span>CommentsThin Stroke Comment Icon BubbleReply<\/span><\/span><\/span>Read 8 replies<\/span><\/p>\n Payton Talbott gets another \u2018unc\u2019 at UFC 332. Cooper Neill\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n Figueiredo<\/strong> was submitted by Song Yadong<\/strong> in May (see it here<\/strong>). Before that he lost a decision to Umar Nurmagomedov<\/strong> and won a decision over Montel Jackson<\/strong>. The former Flyweight champion is now 4-4 since moving up weight classes.<\/p>\n Talbott<\/strong> took a convincing decision over Henry Cejudo <\/strong>in December. That match seemed to suffer from the fact these two were quite familiar and possibly fond of each other. Before that Talbott took a decision over Felipe Lima<\/strong>. Talbott is now 11-1 as a pro, with that one loss being his famous defeat to Raoni Barcelos<\/strong> last year. Talbott was the -1150 favorite in that fight. Barcelos has since proved that the oddsmakers got that one wrong.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve known for a while now that Figueiredo just doesn\u2019t have the youth or size to be a factor at the upper climbs of Bantamweight. He\u2019s been competitive against great fighters, which I think deserves a lot of credit. But he\u2019s just not been capable of really hurting many and then pushing through to get a win. He did manage to Yan a few times in their fight, but Yan seemed to accept that in order to do what he wanted to do.<\/p>\n Given where Figueiredo is at in his career (and life), I\u2019m finding it hard to pick him in this bout. Yes, Raoni Barcelos has shown us what a 40-year-old is capable of in the division and against this opponent. But Figueiredo and Barcelos are totally different fighters.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t see a world where Figueiredo is able to physically impose himself on Talbott and either get him down or back him up with his striking. Talbott will look like a giant in this fight and that\u2019s going to be significant in the clinch and in wrestling.<\/p>\n Historically, Talbott hasn\u2019t been much of a wrestler, but he used wrestling to beat Cejudo. Now, he might have only done that because he was facing Cejudo and wanted to say he could take down an Olympic champion. If he\u2019s willing to play for takedowns in this fight, I think he\u2019ll find a lot of success with them.<\/p>\n I\u2019m confident that Talbott wins, but I don\u2019t think he stops Figueiredo. Figueiredo has great grappling and is very good at protecting himself off his back. Figueiredo also has a hell of a chin (just watch that Yan fight). His only KO losses are a knee injury and an eye injury.<\/p>\n All that has me looking at the over.<\/p>\n King Green will be bonus hunting at UFC 332. Ian Maule\/Getty Images<\/p>\n Green<\/strong> won a wild fight over Terrance McKinney<\/strong> in July, scoring a finish in the last second of round one after being badly hurt early on (see it here<\/strong>). That was his fourth win in a row, following big finishes over Jeremy Stephens<\/strong> and Daniel Zellhuber <\/strong>and a boring decision over Lance Gibson Jr. <\/strong>That run has helped erase memories of his scary KO loss to Mauricio Ruffy<\/strong> and his head-scratching submission loss to Paddy Pimblett<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Ribovics<\/strong> has a highlight reel finish over McKinney<\/strong>, too. He smoked him with a head kick after just 37 seconds back in 2024 (see it here<\/strong>). He also has a win over Zellhuber<\/strong>, also in 2024. That was a split decision win and a Fight of the Year candidate. He\u2019s 2-2 recently with wins over Edson Barboza<\/strong> and Elves Brener<\/strong> and losses to Mateusz Gamrot<\/strong> and Nasrat Haqparast<\/strong> (I think the judges got it wrong on that one, though).<\/p>\n I think we\u2019re right to expect chaos in this fight. I\u2019m surprised to see Green as the underdog, though. I think Green is much better at looking for a finish than Ribovics, who sometimes seems to get stuck in rock \u2018em sock \u2018em mode and takes too much damage himself to then summon up a finishing blow. Green is a lot more choosey and will snipe with big shots and also make sure he\u2019s not taking one to land one.<\/p>\n Ribovics has one of the highest sig. strikes per minute numbers in UC with 7.43. That\u2019s good for second in the Lightweight division (behind McKinney). But his accuracy is just 43 percent. And he\u2019s absorbing 5.74 sig. strikes per minute. His defense against sig. strikes is 54 percent, which is about average.<\/p>\n Green, though, lands close to what Ribovics\u2019 does (6.49 sig. strikes a minute, which is third highest in the division), but only takes 3.63 and his defense is a very good 63 percent. That\u2019s fourth highest in the division.<\/p>\n I think Green also has the power advantage, too. Ribovics lands hundreds of strikes, but still mostly goes to a decision. Also, if this is going to be anything other than striking, Green has a 45 percent takedown accuracy (which is top ten in the division).<\/p>\n There\u2019s just a lot going on here that makes me lean Green in this match-up.<\/p>\n Khaos Williams welcomes a newcomer at UFC 332. Ed Mulholland\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n Robocop (the other one) is finally in UFC. After a long career in KSW, and a cup of coffee in ONE, Soldic<\/strong> comes over to the Octagon. The 31-year-old\u2019s last fight was a boxing sidequest against Tomasz Adamek<\/strong>, which he won by second round TKO. His last MMA win was a KO win in ONE against Dai Arslanaliev<\/strong>. He\u2019s a former multi-time champ in KSW with memorable wins and rivalries with Mamed Khalidov<\/strong> and Dricus du Plessis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Williams<\/strong> slept Nikolay Veretennikov<\/strong> in May (see that here<\/strong>). That first round win followed his devastating defeat to Andreas Gustafsson<\/strong>. Williams was dragged into the deepest of water by Gustafsson, suffering a 10-8 round in the third. Before that loss he was D\u2019arce choked by Gabriel Bonfim<\/strong> (see it here<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Soldic may have done his best work in KSW, but at 31 he\u2019s got plenty left in the tank. And, just like I did when Salahdine Parnasse<\/strong> came over, let me tell you again that KSW deserves some respect. The stars in that org get tough fights and do it in massive arenas with a ton of hype and attention on them. I think the best guys who come out of there are more than UFC-ready.<\/p>\n Soldic did lose, by TKO, somewhat recently. In 2023 he was taken out by Zebastian Kadestam<\/strong>. Soldic was controlling that fight, but was then wobbled with a counter and then Kadestam went in for the kill. I don\u2019t want to say it was a lucky shot, but I feel like that fight can go into the \u201csometimes you just get caught\u201d folder.<\/p>\n I\u2019m less concerned about that than I am about what Gustafsson did to Williams. Soldic, like Gustafsson, really pushes the pace. He\u2019s not a grinder like Gustafsson, his pace is more about coming forward and ripping combos.<\/p>\n I think Soldic\u2019s pressure, and power, might make this a tough night for Williams.<\/p>\n Atebe Gautier will try and stay undefeated in UFC at UFC 332. Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n Gautier<\/strong> is 5-0 in UFC now and has done little to persuade folks that he isn\u2019t a terrifying super prospect. He finished Ozzy Diaz <\/strong>in the second round in May (see that here<\/strong>). Before that he went the distance for a win over Andrey Pulyaev<\/strong> and finished Tre\u2019ston Vines<\/strong> and Robert Valentin<\/strong>. The alleged 24-year-old is now 10-1 as a pro. That loss was a total robbery of a decision (of the home cooking variety) in his second ever fight.<\/p>\n Kopylov<\/strong> is coming off a decision win over Marco Tulio<\/strong> in May. Before that he dropped decisions to Gregory Rodrigues<\/strong> and Paulo Costa<\/strong>. He had won two in a row before that, including a buzzer beating head kick finish over Chris Curtis<\/strong> (see it here<\/strong>) and a split decision over Cesar Almeida<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This is a good step up for Gautier. He\u2019s won in very impressive fashion, but the names on his schedule aren\u2019t that impressive. The Pulyaev fight was a good test for him, too, and it answered some important questions. Mostly that he can fight three rounds.<\/p>\n Kopylov is a similar problem to Pulyaev. And, like Pulyaev, he\u2019s a guy who is able to survive against very dangerous fighters. He\u2019s on a select list when it comes to guys who haven\u2019t been finished by Tulio, RoboCop or Almeida. He must just have a really hard head. Because he\u2019s not avoiding much of the offense from these guys.<\/p>\n Kopylov absorbs 5.08 sig. strikes a minute, which is more than he lands (always a massive red flag for me). and his defense is a very so-so 53 percent. Rodrigues landed 90 sig. strikes on him with 52 percent accuracy, with 67 percent of those going to the head. Costa landed 99 at a 62 percent accuracy. Only 34 percent of those went to the head. Costa landed 40 sig. body shots and leg kicks in that fight, too. So I guess Kopylov has really hard ribs and calves, too.<\/p>\n Kopylov\u2019s experience with some really good guys is why, I think, the odds are so close in this one. I still like Gautier, though. He\u2019s shown he can win a decision and I think he\u2019s going to land a lot on Kopylov, even if he\u2019s not going to finish him. Gautier will also have a lot of size on him. He\u2019s four inches taller and has a massive six inch reach advantage.<\/p>\n Alden Coria will try and keep his run going at UFC 332. Jeff Bottari\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n Rodriguez<\/strong> improved his record to 7-0 with a TKO win over Kevin Borjas<\/strong> in February. That earned him a Performance of the Night bonus. That was his first win since coming off Contender Series and The Ultimate Fighter<\/em> (where he lost to eventual winner Joseph Morales<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Coria<\/strong> debuted in 2025 as a short notice opponent for Alessandro Costa<\/strong>. He shocked Costa with a third round TKO (see it here<\/strong>). Costa hasn\u2019t lost since then. And neither has Coria. He has since outclassed Luis Gurule<\/strong> and Stewart Nicoll<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been impressed by both these guys. Both are examples of just how good a lot of Flyweights are even before they first step foot in the Octagon.<\/p>\n These guys have pretty similar games, in that they can do a bit of everything. Rodriguez has shown us a little more on the feet. And Coria has shown us a little more on the ground. I\u2019m excited to see who can implement their game the strongest, though. If we\u2019re stuck kickboxing for an entire fight, then Rodriguez might carve out a win. If Coria can get a takedown here and there, then it\u2019s likely his fight to lose.<\/p>\n I am leaning Coria in this fight. He has great size for a Flyweight. He\u2019ll be four inches taller than Rodriguez and have a three inch reach advantage. That might help him stay out of range and thus really damage Rodriguez\u2019s attempts to do the thing he might be best at here.<\/p>\n I also like that Coria\u2019s been more active. These young Flyweights seem to really suck up experiences like a sponge and get better from fight to fight. Coria has also had the tougher schedule.<\/p>\n Damien Pinas will try and show he\u2019s the next Ateba Gautier at UFC 332. Mike Roach\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n Pinas<\/strong> put Cesar Almeida<\/strong> to sleep in July with a straight right (see it here<\/strong>). That was his third first round KO win in a row in UFC (if you count his Contender Series opponent).<\/p>\n Pulyaev<\/strong> was choked to sleep in June by Nursulton Ruziboev<\/strong> (see it here<\/strong>). Before that he survived three rounds with Ateba Gautier<\/strong>, getting dropped in the first but then stifling Gautier somewhat en route to a decision loss. Pulyaev is 1-3 in UFC with his other loss being a decision to Christian Leroy Duncan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This is an interesting match-up. Pinas has the touch of death and we\u2019ve seen three guys in the Octagon go down in a heap as soon as he lands something clean.<\/p>\n Pulyaev has been able to hang with two other guys who have that kind of power, in Gautier and Duncan. Ruziboev can crack, too.<\/p>\n What has helped Pulyaev avoid getting starched by those guys is his incredible size. He\u2019s very tall and he has a very long reach. He\u2019s also very crafty when it comes to tying guys up and getting too close for them to extend and land with power. So far Pinas has shown that his power comes from range, but he has lots of time to show us he can win in other ways.<\/p>\n Pinas has a one inch reach advantage, but that\u2019s not enough of an advantage for me to rule out Pulyaev being able to stay out of trouble for big portions.<\/p>\n Despite my appreciation for Pulyaev\u2019s survival skills, I am really high on Pinas. He really passes the eye test and he\u2019s coming from a very good gym (Chute Boxe). I think he\u2019s got more up his sleeve than those power shots from range and he might get a chance to prove it here.<\/p>\n If he blows Pulyaev away in a minute that would be sensational. But I think this might be a repeat of Gautier\u2019s win, where he gets a knockdown, but Pulyaev is able to gut out a decision. That\u2019s going to make me take the over here.<\/p>\n Betting on sports involves risk, so please only wager amounts you can afford to lose. If you or someone you know if struggling with gambling help can be found with the organizations listed below:<\/p>\n Anthony Wint will try to avoid a fraud check at UFC 332. Jeff Bottari\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n Former football player Wint <\/strong>earned a technical submission victory in his debut in August (see it here<\/strong>). It wasn\u2019t the most amazing performance I\u2019ve seen. And the excessive theatrics before and after the fight have me feeling over Wint already. He\u2019s now 8-0 in pro MMA. He\u2019s already 31-years-old, though.<\/p>\n Armand<\/strong> is 6-0 and he\u2019s been brought in to lose. His entire pro career has been spent in something called Two Piece Promotions, other than one fight with Warrior Xtreme Cagefighting. This will be his first time fighting outside of Michigan.<\/p>\n Another top prospect with minimal UFC experience against a regional fighter with zero UFC experience. Armand must know what UFC are thinking when they gave him the call. They want him to lose and they want Wint to be somebody.<\/p>\n I really want to fade Wint here. I\u2019m not that impressed with his overall vibe and I think he looked very raw against the last guy who was handpicked to lose against him. I\u2019m not going to fade Gautier, Pinas or Smith, so I\u2019ll pick Wint to be the guy I don\u2019t trust this week.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not doing that just because I\u2019m being so negative about Wint, though he has similar red flags to Gable Steveson. I also think he\u2019s very undersized for Heavyweight. And Armand is a very big dude.<\/p>\n Mick Parkin returns at UFC 332. Jeff Bottari\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n Walker<\/strong>\u2019s last fight was a split decision loss to Dominick Reyes<\/strong> in April. That was an all-time stinker. He announced his decision to move up to Heavyweight after that. His first bout in the division was supposed to be against Ante Delija<\/strong>, but that got scrapped. Walker makes the move up despite having some recent success at Light Heavyweight. Last year he scored one of the upsets of the year with a second round TKO over Zhang Mingyang<\/strong> (see it here<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Parkin<\/strong> was slowly climbing the ranks by getting four wins over the past three years. The most recent of those was a first round TKO over Lukasz Brzeski<\/strong> (see it here<\/strong>). His last fight was in March, 2025 \u2014 a unanimous decision loss to Marcin Tybura<\/strong>. That spoiled his 10-0 record.<\/p>\n I\u2019v=m very lukewarm on Parkin, despite his near perfect record. He\u2019s not exactly faced a murderers\u2019 row at Heavyweight and, if you\u2019re not regularly knocking guys out, you\u2019re not going to go far in this division (even if you win a bunch). Three out of Parkin\u2019s four UFC wins are decisions.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know what we\u2019re going to see from Walker as a Heavyweight. Light Heavyweights moving up have been hit and miss lately. Ryan Spann and Kennedy Nzechukwu recently found out that Heavyweights hit very hard. And Walker\u2019s not the most durable guy around anyway.<\/p>\n Even so, Parkin doesn\u2019t feel like enough of a killer to punish Walker. I think we might end up having one of those bad Heavyweight fights here, just like the bad Light Heavyweight fight we just endured from Walker. If we\u2019re point fighting, then Walker\u2019s speed and creativity might win out in the end. Walker will also have a reach advantage in the fight.<\/p>\n The round total is 1.5 and I don\u2019t know what Vegas is thinking with that one. The over is -200, since I\u2019m guessing so many people jumped all over that. I\u2019ll go with Walker on the moneyline, since I don\u2019t want to get yelled at for doing too many over\/unders this week.<\/p>\n Rafael dos Anjos makes a rare appearance at UFC 332. Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n Former UFC Lightweight champ, and famous Red Panty night fumbler, Dos Anjos<\/strong> turns 42 this month. His last fight was over two years ago, when he went down with a knee injury against Geoff Neal<\/strong>. He was getting touched up before that happened. That was RDA\u2019s third loss in a row. His last win was a 2022 submission over Bryan Barbarena<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Hernandez<\/strong> lost a decision to Rafa Garcia<\/strong> in April. Before that he had a fight with Michael Johnson<\/strong> scrapped due to some betting irregularities. That weird patch ruined a nice little winning streak for Hernandez. That prior run included TKOs over Diego Ferreira<\/strong> (see it here<\/strong>) and Chase Hooper<\/strong> (see it here<\/strong>).<\/p>\n I was really high on Hernandez during his purple patch before the Johnson fiasco. He was mixing his martial arts very nicely and seemed to have really figured out what he\u2019s best at. I think we\u2019re going to see him get back to that against RDA.<\/p>\n RDA looks slow in the Neal fight and now he\u2019s two years older and coming off knee surgery. I think he\u2019s probably still tough to get finished, but I don\u2019t know if his body will hold out for three rounds. So I\u2019ll stay away from the over. I\u2019ll just go with the Hernandez moneyline.<\/p>\n Marvin Vettori finds himself way down on the Prelims card for UFC 332. Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n Vettori<\/strong> is one a three fight losing skid. Last time out he looked very mediocre against Brunno Ferreira<\/strong>. Before that he lost to Brendan Allen<\/strong>, but got a Fight of the Night award (wasn\u2019t much competition that night). And before that he lost a decision to Roman Dolidze<\/strong>. The Italian\u2019s last win was his first fight with Dolidze, back in 2023.<\/p>\n Naurdiev<\/strong> starched Ryan Loder<\/strong> in his last fight (see that here<\/strong>). That was almost a year ago, though. Before that he lost a decision to Jung Yong Park<\/strong>, after suffering a point deduction for an illegal knee. He\u2019s 4-3 in UFC after two separate spells with the company.<\/p>\n Vettori has looked really checked out lately. And Naurdiev has shown some lapses in judgment in the cage. We might be in for a weird one here. I don\u2019t think Naurdiev is anything special, but Vettori\u2019s slump doesn\u2019t feel like it\u2019s going to change anytime soon. So it\u2019s very hard for me to bet on either of these guys.<\/p>\n Vettori always goes to a decision, so I\u2019ll just take the over here.<\/p>\n Utah\u2019s Court McGee opens up the show at UFC 332. Mike Roach\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n McGee<\/strong> gets his first fight since June, 2025 by virtue of being the promotion\u2019s most well known fighter out of Utah. His last fight was a loss to fellow former The Ultimate Fighter<\/em> winner Michael Chiesa<\/strong>. He lost that by decision. He\u2019s currently 1-4 in his last fight, with the win being a submission over Tim Means<\/strong> (see it here<\/strong>). Two of his losses were KOs.<\/p>\n Nolan<\/strong> put on a good show against Farman Hasanov <\/strong>in Azerbaijan this summer, but came away with the unanimous decision loss. Before that he was submitted by Baisangur Susurkaev<\/strong> (see that here<\/strong>).<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the worst fight they could have given the hometown boy. But with McGee being twelve years older and giving up a little size, I still think this is an uphill battle for \u2018The Crusher\u2019.<\/p>\n Nolan has shown us some decent boxing in his limited appearances. I think he\u2019s going to be able to keep McGee at range and wear him down over time.<\/p>\n Jacobe Smith is a late addition to UFC 322. Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n Smith<\/strong> improved to 12-0 with a brutal beatdown over Josiah Harrell<\/strong> in February (see it here<\/strong>). He\u2019s now 3-0 since graduating off Contender Series. He was supposed to fight Kevin Holland<\/strong> in July, but Holland pulled out due to injury. That match-up had the potential to catapult Smith up the rankings. Instead, he gets a newcomer here \u2014 likely out of a desire to stay busy (aka paid).<\/p>\nUFC 332 Main Event on <\/strong>CBS:<\/h4>\n
