The highly controversial UFC 332 is finally here, and although MMA fans have criticized this card heavily, many quality fighters should still make it a fair fight. The card is headlined by a women’s flyweight title bout between Natalia Silva and Wang Cong and features several other main-card fights with highly touted fighters. The co-main event is the only other fight featuring ranked fighters; however, Saturday’s performances suggest some up-and-coming fighters could be headed for a spot in the UFC’s top 15 in their respective divisions.

The 14-fight card begins Saturday afternoon at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. Let’s break down the best props and DFS picks you need to keep in mind for UFC 332: Silva vs. Wang. Be sure to also check out our UFC 332 betting trends page for odds and data on every fight.
Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Payton Talbott – Payton Talbott to Win By KO/TKO/DQ (+110)
As we mentioned in the opening, the co-main event is the only other fight featuring two ranked fighters, with #9-ranked bantamweight Deiveson Figueiredo coming in as a significant underdog against the highly touted prospect and #12-ranked bantamweight Payton Talbott. The 28-year-old returns to the octagon for the first time since comfortably defeating his mentor Henry Cejudo in the UFC legend’s final fight last December. Talbott is now 11-1 in his professional career and enters his 13th fight with a 72.72% finish rate, though his last three straight fights have gone to decision.
The mixed martial artist quickly made a name for himself with his impressive striking and was unlucky not to finish his last fight, despite brutally beating Cejudo. He now faces another UFC legend and veteran in Figueiredo, who appears to be at the tail end of his highly decorated career. The 38-year-old has now lost four of his last five fights and been finished twice in that span, after being finished twice in his 14-year career before that. Talbott will have a significant height and reach advantage in this one, and certainly has the wrestling to avoid being taken down by the Brazilian. Look for Talbott to try and finish Figueiredo and make a statement after struggling to get any fights throughout 2026.
King Green vs. Esteban Ribovics – Under 1.5 Total Rounds (+160)
Another exciting main-card showdown pits two dangerous lightweights, King Green and Argentine Esteban Ribovics, against each other. The 40-year-old Green will enter his fourth fight of the year after picking up three straight finishes in February, May, and July. He takes on the talented Ribovics, who will be fighting in his third fight of 2026, winning his last fight via KO after being submitted earlier in the year by Mateusz Gamrot. The two lightweights have been highly active and have been involved in multiple early stoppages, which is why the under looks so attractive in this bout.
Green, in particular, is coming off back-to-back first-round finishes and has proven he isn’t afraid to put himself in harm’s way to seek early stoppages. He will need to prepare for the striking of El Niño in this one, with Ribovics showcasing his finishing ability in 75% of his wins throughout his professional career. The Argentine has the odds in his favor, though either fighter can end the fight in one punch, and this one should not need the judges to decide the winner.
Damian Pinas vs. Andrey Pulyaev – Damian Pinas to Win by KO/TKO/DQ in Round 1 (+150)
Damian Pinas is one of several knockout artists on this card who have caught the MMA world’s attention early in his career. The Aruban native is now 10-1 in his professional career, with nine KO wins and one submission; his lone loss came via DQ. He will look to extend his 100% finish rate and remain undefeated in the UFC when he takes on Russian middleweight Andrey Pulyaev on Saturday’s prelims. Pinas comes into UFC 332 with five straight first-round KOs, including two in his first two UFC fights and one in Dana White’s Contender Series that earned him a spot on the roster.
The impressive 24-year-old is heavily favored over Pulyaev, who has now lost three of his last four fights, including both of his bouts in 2026. The Russian southpaw has never been finished in the UFC, though he was knocked out once prior to arriving in the promotion. While he has held up during his nearly two years in the UFC, he has not faced a knockout artist as dangerous as Pinas. The Aruban striker will add to his eight career first-round stoppages against a fighter who was finished in the first round back in June.

Ateba Gautier ($8,800)
The highly regarded 24-year-old Cameroonian Ateba Gautier headlines our lineup in the first main card bout of his young career. Gautier is now 11-1 in his professional career, and he has taken the UFC middleweight division by storm, winning his first five fights, four of them by KO. Like the aforementioned Pinas, Gautier is another one of the division’s young knockout artists, and the African striker will see his first real test in the UFC against Roman Kopylov. The Russian middleweight has lost two of his last three fights but has never been knocked out in the UFC. Gautier may have to work for this win, and should pick up plenty of points via his striking before ultimately finding a finish against the middleweight veteran.
King Green ($7,300)
We broke down the Green vs. Ribovics fight in our best props for UFC 322, and we’re backing the veteran fighter for our DFS lineup here. Despite his age, Green arrives on Saturday riding a four-fight win streak and has shown no signs of slowing down, taking down several notable opponents during that span. Though he’s struggled against the very top-ranked fighters in the lightweight division, Green has consistently given problems to many prospects throughout his decade-plus in the promotion. He certainly still has enough in the tank to upset Ribovics in this one, and the Argentine may struggle to keep up with Green, who remains elusive as ever at 40 years of age.
Alden Coria ($7,600)
Alden Coria is another notable underdog on Saturday’s card and could certainly steal a decision win with his patented scrappy style. The 28-year-old flyweight has won his first three UFC fights, but now faces dangerous Mexican striker Imanol Rodriguez. The 26-year-old picked up two impressive KO victories to start his UFC career and is rightfully favored with his 100% finish rate in his seven career wins. Even so, Coria has shown a crafty ability to muck up his fights and can take down Rodriguez in this one to limit his knockout power and pick up points through control and submission attempts.
Johnny Walker ($8,400)
Next up is Brazilian heavyweight Johnny Walker, slightly favored over Englishman Mick Parkin, fresh off the first loss of his career. Walker’s recent history isn’t very impressive, with just one win in his last four fights, though his move up to the heavyweight division could be just what he needs to get his career back on track. After fighting at 205 Lbs for most of his career, Walker comes into Saturday weighing 242 lbs, which he claims is an advantage after having to cut aggressively to make light heavyweight. You can expect Walker to have a clear athleticism and agility advantage over the bigger Parkin in this one, and should be able to chip away at the Englishman before finding a finish in his new weight class.
Peyton Talbott ($9,600)
We touched on Talbott in our best props for the weekend, and we’re backing the exciting young fighter once again despite his heavy price tag. The talented mixed martial artist should have no problem getting his striking off with his 5” height advantage and 2” reach advantage, and if he can’t finish Figuerido, he should rack up a ton of points via significant strikes. He landed 134 significant strikes in his most recent decision win and is relentless in his forward-moving approach, which will overwhelm his Brazilian opponent, who would prefer the fight on the mat.
Ismail Naurdiev ($8,300)
Moroccan middleweight Ismail Naurdiev rounds out our lineup after an impressive start to his UFC career. The 30-year-old mixed martial artist rejoined the promotion after an inconsistent first stint earlier in his career and has since won two of his first three fights, including a KO win in November of last year. He takes on Italian Marvin Vettori, who has lost four straight fights via decision, and could be on his way out with another loss on Saturday. Naurdiev should be able to match Vettori’s output and come away with another finish or a potential decision win.
