UFC 332 purses draw backlash after finish-heavy Salt Lake City card

Four $100K bonuses issued, no Fight of Night

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated 3h1 min read

What happened: Payout figures tied to UFC 332 circulated after the Delta Center card and drew criticism from fans over base pay. The 10-bout card closed with Natalia Silva's five-round decision over Wang Cong. Eight other bouts ended by KO or TKO, with seven finishes inside the opening round.

Why it matters: The contrast between early stoppages and listed base pay put fighter compensation back in focus. The card issued four $100,000 Performance bonuses and no Fight of the Night award. Bonus outcomes now carry added weight for lower-card fighters seeking to offset show money.

By the numbers: Eight KO/TKO finishes on 10 bouts; seven in Round 1. Fastest finish at 0:23. Four $100,000 Performance bonuses awarded, zero Fight of the Night awards. Main event went R5 5:00 to decision.

What to watch: Commission purses and compliance payouts will clarify final totals. Next bonus selections will show how the stoppage-heavy night affects awards.
