Silva Crowned Flyweight Champion; UFC 332 Features Record Knockouts and Debut Win for Soldic

Natalia Silva has claimed the vacant UFC women's flyweight championship, defeating Wang Cong by decision at UFC 332 in Salt Lake City. The event was a showcase of aggressive fighting, setting a new UFC record with eleven knockouts, nine of which concluded in the first round. This high rate of finishes led to substantial performance bonuses, with four fighters, including Roman Kopylov for his TKO victory, each receiving $100,000.

In his highly anticipated octagon debut, Roberto Soldic secured a victory over his opponent via decision, expressing satisfaction with the experience despite expectations of a finish. The night also saw former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos return from a two-year layoff, suffering a TKO loss to Alexander Hernandez. A controversial stoppage by referee Herb Dean in the lightweight bout between King Green and Esteban Ribovics drew criticism from UFC president Dana White and fighter King Green.
