The heavily rumored UFC 332 main event has fallen through after one of the fighters suffered an injury.
UFC 332 is set to take place at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, on October 3. Just 31 days are left for this numbered event, yet so far, the main event has remained a mystery with no official announcement.
However, the promotion has listed 7 other bouts on their official website, which are a part of the UFC 332 card.
Last week, many media houses reported that current and two-time UFC women’s flyweight champion and pound-for-pound queen Valentina Shevchenko will defend her strap in the main event of UFC 332 against Brazil’s Natalia Silva, who’s riding a 14-fight win streak.
However, there’s bad news for fans now.
As reported by Ag. Fight, the expected UFC 322 main event: Valentina Shevchenko vs. Natalia Silva, is cancelled, as Shevchenko suffered an injury, which forced her to pull out.
