UFC returns to Salt Lake City for fourth numbered event since
2022
UFC 332 will be the fourth numbered event held in Utah since 2022.
It will serve as one of two numbered events in October, a rare
occurrence in the UFC calendar, with UFC 333 already scheduled for
Oct. 24 in Abu Dhabi. No bouts have been announced for the card
yet.
UFC events in Salt Lake City over the past few years have delivered
some of the most memorable in-cage moments. The promotion’s
previous numbered event in the Utah capital was UFC 307
in October 2024, where Alex
Pereira defended his light heavyweight championship against
Khalil
Rountree in a back-and-forth clash.
Justin
Gaethje’s BMF title-winning knockout of Dustin
Poirier and Leon
Edwards’ late knockout of Kamaru
Usman to win the welterweight title closed out the two previous
numbered events in Salt Lake City before UFC 307.
