Historic UFC Night: Free Main Card Access for Millions
4 Oct
Summary
- Vacant flyweight title fight headlines UFC 332 in Salt Lake City.
- UFC 332 main card will air live on broadcast television (CBS).
- This marks the first time a UFC main card airs fully on free TV.
UFC 332, taking place in Salt Lake City, Utah, is set to crown a new women's flyweight champion as Natalia Silva faces Wang Cong. Beyond the title bout, this event marks a significant milestone for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
For the first time in its history, the entire main card of a UFC event will be broadcast live on traditional network television, specifically CBS. This broadcast is scheduled to follow an afternoon college football game, potentially reaching an audience exceeding 120 million people across the United States.
This move bypasses the need for a separate subscription service like Paramount+, offering unprecedented accessibility for MMA fans. Whether this becomes a recurring broadcast strategy or a one-time event remains uncertain. The preliminary and early preliminary cards will still be available on Paramount+.
The card features a full lineup of fights, including a co-main event bantamweight bout between Deiveson Figueiredo and Payton Talbott. Odds for all fights are available, with the main event seeing Silva as a favorite over Cong.
