Natalia Silva faces Wang Cong for the vacant UFC flyweight championship at UFC 332 this Saturday in Salt Lake City, a title bout drawing little attention in the buildup.
The numbered event, according to MMA Fighting, is generating almost no buzz despite the belt on the line. The show's panel questioned whether the card can still deliver despite the lack of anticipation heading into fight night.
Beyond claiming a championship belt, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discussed what the main event victory will mean for the winner moving forward. The show also covered who could emerge as the breakout star of the event.
Heck addressed several topics beyond Saturday's card, including the underwhelming Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua press conference that took place without UFC president Dana White in attendance. The promotional event disappointed most observers, per the report.
The UFC announced several key matchups for the promotion's return to Qatar in November during the week's news cycle. UFC 332 airs Saturday from Salt Lake City with Silva and Wang headlining for the vacant flyweight strap.
