Eric Nolan stopped his opponent with a third-round knockout at UFC 332 on Saturday, October 3, 2026. The card is airing live on Paramount+ and CBS.
Nolan, 29, now has a notable finish to add to an 8-5 professional record. The orthodox fighter stands six-foot-two and carries a 74-inch reach, a frame that gives him room to operate at range. His striking numbers show where his game lives: he lands 3.14 significant strikes per minute at 39 percent accuracy. He does not lean on grappling, averaging no takedowns and no submission attempts per 15 minutes, so his wins are built on what he does standing.
That profile fits the way this fight ended. A knockout in the third round suggests Nolan stayed patient and found the finish after the bout had worn on. For a fighter whose offense comes almost entirely from striking, an ending like this is the clearest way to make a statement on a major card.
Why it matters
- Nolan's record sits at 8-5, so a knockout win on a UFC pay-per-view card helps him build momentum after a mixed run of results.
- His striking-only approach, with no takedown or submission output, makes knockouts his most direct route to a victory.
- UFC 332 is being broadcast live on Paramount+ and CBS, putting the finish in front of a wide audience.
The finish adds another highlight to a card that is still under way.
