UFC 332 Headliner Uncertain After Shevchenko Reportedly Injured

The reported withdrawal leaves the Oct. 3 Salt Lake City card without a confirmed main event, prompting an urgent search for a replacement.

Overview

Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that Brazilian site Ag. Fight said Valentina Shevchenko pulled out of the rumored title fight with Natalia Silva because of an injury.
The UFC and Shevchenko have not issued official confirmation, and the promotion still lists several undercard bouts for UFC 332 on its website.
Matchmakers are reportedly scrambling to find an alternate headliner with about one month to go, and commentators have suggested several short-notice options.
Fans reacted negatively to earlier reports that Silva would be elevated to a numbered-event main event, and sportsbooks already opened betting lines on the rumored matchups.
If the reported withdrawal is confirmed it could delay a title defense for Shevchenko and raise pressure on the UFC to deliver a higher-profile attraction for the Delta Center show; Silva’s rise and Shevchenko’s status as a long-time champion shape the card’s significance.
