UFC octagon under arena lights

DraftKings lists Natalia Silva at -198 and Wang Cong at +164 for the vacant UFC women's flyweight title, a fight that headlines UFC 332 on Saturday, Oct. 3, at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, per CBS Sports and Yahoo Sports. The belt opened up after Valentina Shevchenko was forced to withdraw from a potential fight due to injury, according to CBS Sports, which reported she is out of action for the foreseeable future. Two days out, Silva is the clear number on the board, and the co-main event between Payton Talbott and Deiveson Figueiredo carries an even heavier favorite.

Natalia Silva vs Wang Cong UFC 332 Odds and the Vacant Flyweight Title

The main card airs at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, with prelims at 6 p.m. ET and early prelims at 4 p.m. ET on Paramount+, per CBS Sports. Silva and Cong are fighting for the vacant women's flyweight championship rather than challenging an incumbent, since Shevchenko is the fighter CBS Sports says was forced out.

At -198, Silva's DraftKings price as of Thursday, Oct. 1 (per CBS Sports and Yahoo Sports) implies a win probability of roughly 66 percent (198 divided by 198 plus 100). Cong's +164 number implies about 38 percent. Those numbers will not sum to 100 because of the sportsbook's built-in margin, but the gap tells you DraftKings sees this as a clear, not lopsided, favorite situation.

Natalia Silva's case as the favorite

Silva is 8-0 in the UFC, a mark both CBS Sports and RotoWire confirm, with RotoWire's DFS preview calling her "a perfect 8-0 in the UFC, including victories over former champions Rose Namajunas, Alexa Grasso and Jessica Andrade." CBS Sports lists the same three names among her recent wins.

RotoWire also flags a pattern worth knowing before kickoff: "all six of her decision wins with the UFC have been of the unanimous variety," though the site adds a caveat that her tendency to let fights go to the scorecards is a long-term risk. That hedge is part of why RotoWire's own pick leaned Silva "without any real conviction," not a blowout call.

Wang Cong's path as the underdog

Cong's route to this title shot has been uneven by the numbers each outlet reports. Per CBS Sports, she opened her UFC run 1-1 before winning four straight fights, though two of those four came at catchweight rather than flyweight. Per Yahoo Sports, her broader record stands at 10-1, with her only loss coming against Gabriella Fernandes in 2024.

Those two data points describe different windows (UFC-only play-by-play versus her full record), and neither outlet reconciled them into one number, so treat the record as directionally strong rather than a single clean stat. What is consistent across both reports is the four-fight win streak and the one loss already on the books.

UFC 332 betting and DFS impact

In DraftKings salary terms, RotoWire's UFC 332 DFS preview sets Silva at $8,700 and Cong at $7,500, and the site's final pick is Silva. The co-main event is priced even more lopsided: Payton Talbott is -625 and Deiveson Figueiredo is +455 on DraftKings as of Thursday, Oct. 1, per CBS Sports and Yahoo Sports, which implies roughly an 86 percent win probability for Talbott (625 divided by 625 plus 100).

RotoWire's reasoning for fading Figueiredo is blunt: "He's lost four of his last five fights and has just a single victory dating back to August 2024." The site's Talbott pick ($8,900 salary) leans on physical tools over any flashy read, with the preview noting "all I think Talbott has to do to win this fight is just not make any major mistakes."

On the undercard, CBS Sports has Esteban Ribovics (-250) favored over King Green (+205) at lightweight and Roberto Soldic (-325) favored over Khaos Williams (+260) at welterweight. RotoWire's DFS card also lists a middleweight pairing of Ateba Gautier and Roman Kopylov, per Yahoo Sports, with RotoWire pricing Soldic at $9,200 and citing his 18 knockout finishes in 21 career wins as the reason to roster him. Among the salaries RotoWire lists, Talbott ($8,900) and Soldic ($9,200) carry the highest prices.

If you are building same-game parlays around the main event, the Silva moneyline alone already prices in her decision-win tendency, so adding a "fight goes to decision" leg on top of backing Silva reduces the payout without changing much about what the market already expects from her fights.

What to watch next

Fight week starts with media day and official weigh-ins ahead of Saturday's card, where both Silva and Cong need to hit the 125-pound flyweight limit, a detail worth confirming before betting since Cong has recently competed at catchweight. Watch for any line movement on Silva and Talbott between now and Saturday's 8 p.m. ET main card on CBS, since both are already short favorites with room to shorten further on public money. CBS Sports' full UFC 332 card breakdown has the rest of the lineup and will carry any weigh-in updates.

Beyond fight night, Shevchenko's timeline back from injury is the bigger storyline for the division. CBS Sports has not reported a return date, only that she is out for the foreseeable future, so whoever leaves Delta Center with the belt Saturday will hold it into an uncertain stretch for the division's biggest name.
