Brendan isn't holding back on this one: UFC 332's main event puts Natalia Silva against Cong Wang for the flyweight title on CBS, and he calls it flat-out the worst main event in MMA history — a stacked undercard wasted, a title fight nobody's asking for, and a direct message to the matchmakers about what that does to the promotion's biggest broadcast platform yet.

Also in this one: Dan Hooker's rough night in Paris against a hard-charging French prospect (and why call-outs to Max Holloway, Ilia Topuria and Paddy Pimblett are premature), the UFC quietly cutting Michael "Venom" Page from the rankings after a 6-1 run and what that says about how the promotion values excitement over winning, an insider report on a possible immediate Ilia Topuria–Justin Gaethje rematch, Tyron Woodley's scary moment after getting caught over the weekend, and a quick detour into the never-ending Anthony Joshua–Tyson Fury boxing saga.
