UFC 332 starts at 4:00 PM ET with the early prelims, moves to the prelims at 6:00 PM ET, and the main card begins at 8:00 PM ET. The Natalia Silva vs. Wang Cong title fight for the vacant women's flyweight belt closes the show, and with 13 other fights on the schedule ahead of it, a reasonable estimate puts the actual walkout somewhere in the 10:00 to 10:30 PM ET range — later if the earlier fights go the distance, earlier if several end quickly.
How a UFC card is structured
A UFC event is broken into three blocks, and UFC 332 follows the standard pattern. The early prelims are the first fights of the night, usually newer or lower-profile fighters, and they stream earliest and cheapest. The prelims come next, a step up in name recognition. The main card is the final and most prominent block, ending with the main event — the fight the whole broadcast is built around.
Fights are listed and broadcast in reverse order of importance: the first fight of the night is technically the "last" bout number on the matchmaking sheet, and the main event is "bout one," even though it's the final fight fans see. That numbering can be confusing, but the broadcast order is always the same — early prelims, then prelims, then main card, then main event last.
The schedule for UFC 332
| Segment | Start (ET) | Broadcast |
|---|---|---|
| Early Prelims | 4:00 PM | Paramount+ / UFC Fight Pass |
| Prelims | 6:00 PM | Paramount+ |
| Main Card | 8:00 PM | CBS / Paramount+ |
These are the section times UFC confirmed today, fight week's final day before Saturday's card in Salt Lake City.
UFC 332 carries 14 total bouts: five on the main card, four on the prelims, and five on the early prelims.
Why the main event walks so much later than 8 PM
The 8:00 PM main card start time is when the first main-card fight begins, not when Silva and Wang Cong walk out. Four other main-card fights come first: a middleweight bout between Roman Kopylov and Ateba Gautier, a welterweight collision between Khaos Williams and UFC newcomer Roberto Soldic, a lightweight fight between King Green and Esteban Ribovics, and the bantamweight co-main event between former champion Deiveson Figueiredo and Payton Talbott. Only after those four finish does the vacant flyweight title fight begin.
Counting backward from the main event, there are 13 fights ahead of it once the early prelims and prelims are included. Each fight, factoring in walkouts, the bout itself, and the between-round and post-fight time, tends to run somewhere around 15 to 25 minutes on average — shorter for a fast finish, longer for a fight that goes the scheduled distance, and longer still for a five-round fight like the main event itself.
Working from that range: four main-card fights ahead of the headliner, each averaging roughly 20 to 30 minutes with the extra production time a main card carries, points to the title fight starting somewhere between 90 minutes and two hours after the 8:00 PM main-card start. That lines up with a walkout window of roughly 10:00 to 10:30 PM ET — treat it as an estimate that moves with how the night actually goes, not a fixed clock time.
A couple of other fights worth tracking on the way there
The card isn't just a clock to watch tick down to the main event. Khaos Williams vs. Roberto Soldic pairs two of the heaviest hitters on the roster — Soldic is making his long-delayed UFC debut after building a reputation as a two-division champion overseas, and the card JSON flags this as a fight with almost no path to a boring finish.
Rafael dos Anjos, a former UFC lightweight champion, returns from a two-year layoff and multiple surgeries against Alexander Hernandez on the early prelims — a notable storyline given how long he's been out and how much the division has moved on without him.
How to watch
The main card airs on CBS and Paramount+ starting at 8:00 PM ET. The prelims stream on Paramount+ starting at 6:00 PM ET, and the early prelims are on both Paramount+ and UFC Fight Pass starting at 4:00 PM ET. Those are the broadcast assignments UFC itself confirmed for this card; anyone checking for the fight in a given region should confirm local CBS affiliate listings, since broadcast network carriage can vary by market in ways a streaming app doesn't.
The one thing worth doing with this
If the plan is to catch the title fight live without sitting through four hours of undercard, the safest approach is to tune in around 9:30 PM ET and treat the 10:00 to 10:30 PM window as the target rather than a guarantee — a fast finish or two earlier in the card can easily move the walkout up, while a full five-round decision in the co-main can just as easily push it back.
