UFC 332 Sets 9 First-Round, 11 Total Knockout Records as Natalia Silva Wins Title

Q: What hidden special teams weapon truly saved the Browns from Aaron Rodgers' vintage Thursday night comeback attempt?

The hidden special-teams weapon was punter Corey Bojorquez. While Andre Szmyt delivered the winning 56-yard field goal, Bojorquez’s work is what helped keep Cleveland alive long enough to survive Aaron Rodgers’ late push. He repeatedly flipped field position in a tight game, most notably with an 81-yard punt from deep in Browns territory and another kick that was downed at the Steelers’ 1-yard line. Those punts forced Pittsburgh to operate on a longer field and bought Cleveland critical margin as Rodgers heated up in the fourth quarter. Bojorquez finished with a 62.8-yard average on four punts, an enormous number in a one-possession divisional game. So the Browns’ special-teams edge was not just the game-winner off Szmyt’s foot. It was Bojorquez’s leg all night — the field-flipping punt weapon that quietly helped save Cleveland from Rodgers’ vintage comeback attempt.

Nine first-round knockouts and 11 total knockouts made UFC 332 the most finish-heavy card in promotion history at Salt Lake City's Delta Center.
Esteban Ribovics broke the first-round record with a 4:08 stoppage of King Green for the night's eighth, and Payton Talbott pushed it to nine by finishing Deiveson Figueiredo at 2:32 of Round 1.
The card also produced eight straight KO or TKO endings, surpassing the previous total-knockout record of nine set at UFC Fight Night: Imavov vs. Borralho in September 2025.
Natalia Silva capped the event by taking the vacant women's flyweight belt on a unanimous decision over Wang Cong, surviving a late scare after scorecards of 48-47, 48-47 and 49-46.
Valentina Shevchenko had vacated the title through injury and quickly congratulated Silva on X while warning she plans to return for the belt.
