UFC Confirms Seven Bouts for UFC 332 as Headliners Remain Unnamed

Announced fights spotlight Payton Talbott vs. Deiveson Figueiredo as a prospect-versus-former-champion test, signaling the promotion is still seeking a marquee headliner.

Overview

  • The UFC officially posted seven fights for UFC 332, scheduled for Oct. 3 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, with the announcement published on Tuesday.
  • The card includes a bantamweight test between rising prospect Payton Talbott and former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo, a matchup framed as Talbott’s chance to enter title talk and Figueiredo’s opportunity to regain momentum.
  • Johnny Walker will make his long-planned move to heavyweight against Mick Parkin, marking Walker’s divisional debut after a delayed attempt earlier in the year.
  • Marvin Vettori vs. Ismail Naurdiev has been rebooked for the Salt Lake City card after originally being scheduled for Baku, and veteran Court McGee will close his UFC career in a fight announced as his final Octagon appearance.
  • Outlets are naming potential headliners such as Jiri Prochazka vs. Paulo Costa, but those matchups are unconfirmed and the promotion has not yet filled the main-event or co-main slots.
