UFC 332 lands this Saturday, October 3, at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, and it's a milestone card: the first numbered UFC main card to air on CBS, streaming alongside Paramount+.

At the top, Natalia Silva and Wang Cong meet for the vacant women's flyweight title after Valentina Shevchenko was forced out due to injury. Silva, ranked number one in the division, carries a 14-fight winning streak and remains unbeaten through eight UFC bouts. Wang is riding a four-fight win streak, with her most recent win coming against Tracy Cortez.

The co-main is where the real lopsided number shows up. Payton Talbott returns for the first time since outworking Henry Cejudo last December, and he's set as the largest favorite on the entire card against former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo, who dropped his last outing to Song Yadong by second round guillotine in May. Our tracker has him at -625, and our model gives him an 84 percent chance, rating it a strong lean.

Talbott, ranked eleventh at bantamweight, spent most of a year on the sidelines despite pushing for fights.
