  "account": "At UFC 332, knockouts dominated the night, with a total of 11 knockouts achieved, nine of which occurred in the first round. Payton Talbott, a rising bantamweight, delivered a first-round knockout against former two-time flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo. Following his impressive victory, Talbott expressed his ambition by calling out Sean O’Malley, the former bantamweight champion and current No. 3 contender in the division.\n\nThe main event at UFC 332 was the women's bantamweight title fight between Natalia Silva and Wang Cong. This was the first time in 14 such bouts that Silva did not face the Russian champion, Valentina Shevchenko. Shevchenko had to vacate the title after suffering a shoulder and back ligament injury that may keep her out for over a year. Despite criticism regarding the main event selection, Natalia Silva showcased her championship credentials by delivering a strong performance against Wang Cong.",
