Natalia Silva Defends Flyweight Title at UFC 332, Talbott Dominates Figueiredo in Co‑Headliner
UFC 332, Natalia Silva, Talbott

At UFC 332, Natalia Silva retained her undisputed women's flyweight championship with a unanimous decision over Cong Wang, while rising star Talbott finished former champion Figueiredo in the opening round. The card delivered decisive finishes and set the stage for future title fights, with Soldic also making a strong UFC debut.

The main event of UFC 332 saw Natalia Silva retain her place at the top of the women's flyweight division after a clean 5‑round bout against Cong Wang.

Silva Secures Flyweight Championship

Silva, who has a perfect 9‑0 record in the UFC, outsmarted and outstruck her opponent to earn a unanimous decision with scores of 48‑47, 48‑47 and 49‑46. The fight was largely a tactical showcase rather than an action‑packed affair, but Silva's relentless pressure and clinical precision secured her the vacant flyweight championship title. This victory marked Silva's 15th straight win and her ninth triumph inside the Octagon, solidifying her status as one of the most dominant fighters in the division.

With the former titleholder out of the picture, the next logical match‑up for Silva will be a showdown with Ronda Grasso, a former champion who has shown she can still compete at the highest level. Beyond the headline clash, the card delivered plenty of excitement. Talbott, a rising 135‑pound fighter, made a striking impression in the co‑headliner when he dispatched former two‑time UFC flyweight champion Figueiredo with a first‑round stoppage.

The fight was swiftly ended in 2:09 of the opening round, displaying Talbott's power and leaving fans excited about his future path, possibly leading to a match with former champion Sean O'Malley. Meanwhile, another high‑profile bout featured Soldic making his UFC debut. In a display of boxing prowess, Soldic handed Williams, a former KSW middleweight champion, a unanimous decision, showcasing a skill set that could propel him into larger competitions.

Emerging Talents and Decisive Finishes

The event also featured a number of other compelling fights, including a wild showdown involving an Argentine fighter who missed weight but still performed impressively in the Octagon, and a thrilling duel where a veteran opponent's ten‑fight winning streak was halted. Across the card, only three bouts went to the scorecards, underscoring a nights worth of decisive finishes and action that left both fans and analysts satisfied.

With the title now firmly in Silva's hands and a host of emerging talents proving themselves, UFC 332 set the stage for an era of electrifying match‑ups in the flyweight and other weight classes.
