UFC Salt Lake City set a record for finishes, crowned a new UFC women’s flyweight champion and shipped out a boatload of bonus money for the event’s fighters.
In the main event, Natalia Silva became the new 125-pound champion as she outslugged Wang Cong to claim the vacated title. Silva’s speed and dexterity were the keys through the first three rounds. She did slow down a bit in the fourth and fifth rounds, and Wang made a late charge. However, the lead was too big for the Chinese fighter to overcome.
Silva is now the fourth champion in the division’s history. The former champion, Valentina Shevchenko, who was stripped of the title congratulated Silva, but warned she was coming back for her belt.
The event set a record for first-round finishes and knockdowns. Here’s a look at all of the results, the bonus winners and highlights.

UFC 332 Highlights
Payton Talbott Becomes First to Stop Deiveson Figueiredo
The fast-rising bantamweight made quick work of the former two-time flyweight champion.
Figueiredo looked washed, but Talbott also looks spectacular. At this point, you have to get Talbott a top-5 opponent. He wants Sean O’Malley. We’ll see if the UFC gives him what he wants.
Esteban Ribovics Scores the First-Round TKO Win Over King Green
Ribovics missed weight on Friday, but he didn’t look compromised on Saturday. After Green’s style and antics seemed to give him some trouble early, Ribovics landed some power shots that finished Green.
Roman Kopylov Stops Ateba Gautier, Derails Hype Train
Gautier came in as one of the most highly touted prospects in the UFC, but he ran into a persistent lead left hand from Kopylov. The veteran proved Gautier is not quite ready for the big time. At this point, it would make sense for Kopylov to clash with Daniel Pinas — who won impressively earlier in the event.
Imanol Rodriguez Might Be the Next Real Flyweight Contender
Mexico’s Imanol Rodriguez showed why he is one of the brightest prospects in the UFC. Th fast-rising flyweight prospect scored a first-round KO on a front body kick. Take a look:
Daniel Pinas is a Scary Dude
Pinas scored a huge uppercut win over Andrey Pulyaev. All it took was one shot.
Marcus McGhee Scores Stoppage Win
Anthony Romero stepped in to face Marcus McGhee on short notice. He was performing well until he was dropped by a power jab. Moments later, McGhee showed his level by earning the first-round stoppage victory.
Wint Smashes Armand and Nails Post-Fight Promo
The fast-rising American heavyweight prospect spent more time delivering an epic promo than he did blasting his way through Lucas Armand.
When it was over, Wint called out Sean Sharaf and he wants the fight in 40 days.
Johnny Walker Destroys Mick Parkin
Walker made his heavyweight debut in style. He decimates Parkin with a knee from the clinch. Take a look.
Jacobe Smith Escapes Penalty for Low Blow, Wins by KO
Smith landed an inadvertent knee to Bruce Whitehead’s groin. After a near-three-minute break, Smith slammed and finished Whitehead to continue his rise.
Court McGee’s Retirement Fight Didn’t Go as Planned
McGee had announced Saturday’s fight would be his last. Eric Nolan made sure he didn’t send McGee away as a winner. Nolan scored a third-round TKO victory. Here’s a look at the finish.
Nolan showed tons of respect during his post-fight interview.
Hernandez Might Have Created Another Retirement Fight
After a strong first round, 40-year-old Rafael dos Anjos faded in the second and lost via second-round TKO to Alexander Hernandez.
After the loss, RDA removed his gloves in the Octagon. The stream didn’t have time allotted for him to address the crowd, but it appears this was his last fight.
