After reigning
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> women\u2019s flyweight champion
\nValentina
\nShevchenko<\/a> had to vacate the title due to injury, Natalia
\nSilva<\/a> and Cong Wang<\/a>
\nduked it out for 125-pound supremacy in the main event of UFC
\n332<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was Silva who prevailed to finally see her lifelong dream come
\ntrue, as she outclassed Wang for five rounds, winning a rather
\nlopsided unanimous decision to hoist the belt in front of a sellout
\ncrowd inside the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n

Natalia Silva defeated Cong Wang at UFC 332 before Payton
\nTalbott stopped Deiveson Figueiredo<\/h2>\n

Silva (21-5-1) used her tremendous speed and confusing movement to
\nperplex \u201cThe Joker\u201d throughout, preventing Wang from landing many
\nimpactful strikes during their encounter. Even when Wang (10-2)
\nstepped on the gas late, it wasn\u2019t enough, and Silva weathered the
\nstorm. In the end, Silva was awarded the cageside judges\u2019 decision
\nvia tallies of 48-47 (twice) and 49-46, capping off what was an
\nexcellent and violent fight card.<\/p>\n

Payton
\nTalbott<\/a> made a statement loud and clear that he is ready to
\ntake on the top dogs of the bantamweight division, as he torched
\nformer two-time flyweight king Deiveson
\nFigueiredo<\/a> in the first round of the co-main event. Talbott
\n(12-1) sent the Brazilian to the canvas with a perfect straight
\nright to the face and proceeded to beat the living hell out of
\nFigueiredo (25-8-1) until referee Jason Herzog had no choice but to
\nrescue him. It didn\u2019t matter if Talbott landed rights or lefts, or
\nshots to the head and body; Figueiredo stood little chance of
\nsurviving. \u201cDaico\u201d bowed out at the 2:09 mark, and Talbott, coming
\noff a dominant win over multi-division champ and Olympic gold
\nmedalist Henry
\nCejudo<\/a>, called out Sean O\u2019Malley afterward.<\/p>\n

Esteban
\nRibovics<\/a> (17-3) wasn\u2019t fazed by longtime veteran and
\ncrowd-pleaser King Green<\/a>\u2019s
\nin-cage antics as he thumped him late in the opening round of their
\nlightweight encounter. Green (36-18-1, 1 NC) was talking plenty of
\ntrash and playing head games as soon as the fight began, but
\nRibovics stayed cool and eventually dropped him with a looping left
\nhook to the jaw. Green bounced back up, but \u201cEl Gringo\u201d planted
\nanother left hook on the jaw, sending him to the canvas again. The
\nArgentine finally closed the show by landing yet another left hook,
\none that felled the American for good as veteran third man Herb Dean<\/a> waved
\nit off. The end came at 4:08 of the round. Ribovics was deemed
\nineligible for post-fight bonuses, though, because he missed weight
\non Friday.<\/p>\n

In what was a scintillating affair, welterweight Roberto
\nSoldic<\/a> survived a shaky first round to storm back and batter
\nKalinn
\nWilliams<\/a> over the final two frames to earn a unanimous decision
\nwin. \u201cRobocop\u201d tore into Williams\u2019 head and body repeatedly with
\ncrisp punches and took the American down almost at will. Soldic
\n(22-4, 1 NC) had \u201cKhaos\u201d hurt and wobbly multiple times, but he
\ncouldn\u2019t put Williams (16-6) away and took home the nod via tallies
\nof 29-27 (twice) and 29-28.<\/p>\n

Roman
\nKopylov<\/a> was expected by many to be more of a showcase opponent
\nfor fellow middleweight and highly touted Ateba
\nAbega Gautier<\/a>. However, the Russian halted the buzz train by
\ndrubbing the Cameroonian knockout artist in the opening frame to
\nkick off the main card in stellar fashion. Kopylov (16-5) stuck his
\nfoe with a straight left to the face during an exchange, and the
\npunch rocked Gautier. Another shot followed, and as soon as Gautier
\n(11-2) hit the deck, Kopylov wasted no time unloading a stream of
\nhammerfists until referee Marc Goddard<\/a>
\nhad to stop the mugging. The end came officially at 3:12 of the
\nfirst.<\/p>\n

Imanol
\nRodriguez<\/a> capped off a spectacular preliminary card by
\nvanquishing Alden Coria<\/a>
\nin the first with a crippling teep to the gut. Rodriguez climbed to
\n8-0 with his impressive showing, peppering Coria (13-4, 1 NC) with
\npunches courtesy of his blistering hand speed, but it was a
\nperfectly timed teep that finished the contest. Rodriguez dug his
\ntoes deep into \u201cCobra\u2019s\u201d belly, eliciting a scream from the
\nHouston-based fighter, and when he crumbled to the canvas, referee
\nJason Herzog interposed, stopping it at the 3:11 mark.<\/p>\n

There is a ton of buzz swirling around rising middleweight Damian
\nPinas<\/a>, and he proved again today why: crushing one-punch power.
\nPinas (11-1) torched Russian Andrey
\nPulyaev<\/a> with a perfect right uppercut to the jaw, sending
\nPulyaev (10-6) crashing to the canvas in a lifeless heap. All it
\ntook was 75 seconds for Pinas to electrify the Salt Lake City
\ncrowd; he proclaimed that he wants a top-10 middleweight next.<\/p>\n

Featherweight contender Marcus
\nMcGhee<\/a> had no problem with late replacement Anthony
\nRomero<\/a>, as he took him out with just two seconds remaining in
\nthe opening stanza. McGhee (12-2) dropped \u201cThe Bully\u201d with a jab
\nand then closed the show by hammering him with punch after punch
\nagainst the cage until referee Tyler
\nTomlinson<\/a> intervened. Romero dipped to 7-3, 1 NC.<\/p>\n

Former New York Jets player Anthony
\nWint<\/a> soared to 9-0 by dismantling fellow heavyweight Lucas
\nArmand<\/a> in just 23 seconds. Wint charged at Arman (6-1), forced
\nhim into the cage and then unloaded a tidal wave of punches until
\nhis opponent dropped to the canvas and had to be rescued by referee
\nMike Beltran.<\/p>\n

Fan favorite Johnny
\nWalker<\/a> was successful in his heavyweight debut, as the popular
\nBrazilian detonated his left knee on Mick
\nParkin<\/a>\u2019s jaw, ending their tussle in spectacular fashion.
\nWalker (23-10, 1 NC) got the Englishman in a Thai plum and then
\nuncorked a perfect knee, sending Parkin (10-2) to the canvas, out
\ncold and flat on his back at 3:35 of the first.<\/p>\n

Unbeaten welterweight contender Jacobe
\nSmith<\/a> took another step toward greatness as he obliterated
\nBruce
\nWhitehead<\/a> (8-3) in just 92 seconds. After scoring a powerful
\nslam, Smith (13-0) unloaded punches to the dome before knocking
\n\u201cThe Goose\u201d out.<\/p>\n

Alexander
\nHernandez<\/a> scored the biggest win of his career as he stopped
\nformer lightweight world champion Rafael dos
\nAnjos<\/a> in the second round. After rocking Dos Anjos late in the
\nfirst and then again early in the second, Hernandez clubbed him
\nwith a right hook to the head and finished the Brazilian with
\nfollow-up punches moments later. Referee Mike Beltran had to pull
\nHernandez (19-9) off, ending the beating at 3:12 of the second. Dos
\nAnjos fell to 31-18.<\/p>\n

Middleweight contender Ismail
\nNaurdiev<\/a> turned in a workmanlike performance and out-hustled
\nMarvin
\nVettori<\/a> (19-11-1) over three rounds, winning a unanimous
\ndecision. All three cageside judges saw it 29-28 for Naurdiev, who
\nimproved to 26-8.<\/p>\n

New Jersey\u2019s Eric Nolan<\/a>
\nplayed the role of spoiler as he vanquished longtime veteran
\nCourt
\nMcGee<\/a> in his farewell bout, stopping \u201cThe Crusher\u201d in the third
\nround. After a competitive battle, Nolan (9-5) rocked McGee with
\npunches to the head and then unloaded dozens of follow-up shots
\nuntil McGee (23-15) crumbled to the canvas, prompting referee Jason
\nHerzog to rescue him. The end came officially at 3:26 of the frame. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
