FanDuel Offers $250 Bonus for New UFC 332 Bettors on $5 Wager

Q: With women's UFC fights hitting a decade low in 2026, is tonight's historic free-TV title clash a revival or a final curtain call?

It looks more like a test case for revival than a final curtain call. The warning signs are real. Women’s fights account for just 56 of 415 UFC bouts in 2026, a decade low at 13%, and 83% of those fights have been pushed to prelims. Before Saturday, there had been no women’s UFC headliner this year, no women’s title fight since late 2025, and no women-led numbered event since Amanda Nunes vs. Irene Aldana in 2023. That supports the view that women’s MMA in the UFC is in a visible lull, not a healthy cycle. But UFC 332 also offers evidence against writing an obituary. Natalia Silva enters 8-0 in the UFC on a 14-fight overall streak, with wins over Jessica Andrade, Alexa Grasso and Rose Namajunas. Wang Cong brings elite striking metrics, a four-fight UFC win streak and significance for the Chinese market. This is not a nostalgia main event built on old names; it is a title fight between two active contenders with credible momentum. The free-TV platform matters as much as the matchup. A vacant title bout airing on CBS and Paramount+ without pay-per-view gives women’s MMA a broad audience at a time when visibility has been shrinking. If Silva and Wang deliver the high-level striking fight many expect, UFC 332 could strengthen the case for more women’s headliners and title fights. So tonight is not proof of a comeback by itself. It is a rare opportunity: a live audition for whether the UFC will reinvest in its women’s divisions or let the downturn harden into a longer decline.
