Silva Opens As Favorite For UFC 332 Flyweight Title

Natalia Silva will enter UFC 332 as the betting favorite to claim the vacant flyweight title when she faces Wang Cong on Oct. 3 at Delta Center in Salt Lake City.

Silva opened at -250 on the moneyline at BetOnline.ag but has since moved to -210, per MMA Mania. Cong opened at +210 and now sits at +180 heading into the CBS-televised card. The belt was stripped from Valentina Shevchenko due to injury, leaving the Brazilian and Chinese contenders to fight for the hardware.

Talbott Heavily Favored Over Figueiredo At Bantamweight

In the co-main event, Payton Talbott opened as a steep -550 favorite against former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo, who is listed at +415. The 27-year-old Talbott has dropped just one fight in his career, while Figueiredo continues his climb through the bantamweight ranks after moving up from 125 pounds.

MMA Mania described the overall lineup as underwhelming, with correspondent Jesse Holland writing that the card would have been discarded in ancient Sparta. Social media reaction echoed the sentiment, with fans calling the event a tough sell for the CBS broadcast slot.

Odds are expected to shift as fight week approaches, with both main card bouts drawing action from bettors despite the lack of marquee names elsewhere on the card.
