UFC 332 preview show: Reaction to Dana White’s tough night; Plus, Silva vs. Wang

UFC 332 arrives in Salt Lake City on Saturday with a vacant flyweight title on the line, but promotional momentum has stalled—particularly after UFC CEO Dana White's lukewarm appearance Thursday, marked by visible disinterest and unfamiliarity with the roster, including main-event contender Wang Cong.
Despite the low buzz surrounding the event, MMA Fighting's preview show with Mike Heck and Jed Meshew breaks down the full card. The main event pits Natalia Silva against Cong for the flyweight strap, a bout complicated by both fighters' pointed no-sells of champion Valentina Shevchenko throughout the build. The co-main event features Payton Talbott versus Deiveson Figueiredo, the former flyweight champion who has been notably outspoken during fight week—calling out Joshua Van and labeling Talbott as one of the easier matchups in the division. The card also includes King Green facing Esteban Ribovics.
White's poor week has become its own storyline heading into the event, raising questions about whether leadership confidence translates to audience interest. The full preview, available as video and audio across Apple Podcasts and Spotify, examines these dynamics and more.
