UFC 332 2026 adds Figueiredo-Talbott and Walker-Parkin bouts

Four bouts have been added to UFC 332, with Deiveson Figueiredo scheduled to meet Payton Talbott and Johnny Walker set for his heavyweight debut against Mick Parkin. The event is scheduled for October 3, 2026, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Figueiredo, a former UFC flyweight champion, will continue his run at bantamweight against Talbott. The Brazilian is 38 and has won only one of his last five fights, leaving him with a 25-7-1 record. His recent defeats include losses to Umar Nurmagomedov and Song Yadong, although his recent schedule has featured high-level opposition.

Talbott enters the contest at 11-1. His only professional defeat came against Raoni Barcelos, and he has since returned to winning ways against Felipe Lima and former two-division champion Henry Cejudo. The matchup places Figueiredo’s experience and recent struggles against a younger opponent with momentum from two consecutive victories.

Walker will move up to heavyweight after losing his most recent bout against Dominick Reyes. The Brazilian holds a 22-10 record with one no-contest and has recorded only one victory since May 2023, a stoppage of Zhang Mingyang. Parkin, an English fighter, is 10-1 and is also coming off the first loss of his career, suffered against Marcin Tybura.

The connections between the heavyweight fighters’ recent results extend to Reyes and Tybura. Reyes defeated Tybura in his own heavyweight debut after beating Walker, while Parkin’s first professional loss came against the same Tybura. Walker and Parkin will now meet as both seek to establish themselves in the division.

The UFC 332 lineup also includes Marvin Vettori against Ismail Naurdiev and Imanol Rodríguez against Alden Coria. No main event has been announced for the Salt Lake City card.
