Las Vegas is gearing up for an electrifying UFC night as the organization embarks on its fresh Paramount+/CBS chapter. UFC CEO Dana White revealed during the NFL Thanksgiving halftime that Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett will clash for the interim Lightweight championship at UFC 324, taking place at the T-Mobile Arena.
Gaethje Seeks Another Interim Title
Known as “Highlight,” Gaethje (26-5) is putting retirement speculations on hold for now, riding a comeback wave after a knockout loss to Max Holloway at UFC 300. As a two-time title contender, Gaethje holds a record of 3-1 in his last four fights, previously winning the interim belt in 2020 against Tony Ferguson. This encounter offers him a prime opportunity to enhance his legacy.
Pimblett Targets His First UFC Championship
Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett (23-3) is rising in the title ranks, having just claimed victory with a third-round stoppage over Michael Chandler. Boasting an undefeated UFC record of 7-0, with a recent win over Tony Ferguson, Pimblett is ready for his inaugural championship bout. Although fans have often called for a fight with Topuria, the spotlight this time belongs to Pimblett and Gaethje.
Women’s Bantamweight Showdown: Harrison vs. Nunes
The co-main event will feature a thrilling encounter in the women’s Bantamweight division, with reigning champion Kayla Harrison (19-1) taking on former champion Amanda Nunes (23-5). Harrison has been a force in the division, recently winning against Julianna Pena via submission. Nunes, returning from retirement, seeks to secure a third Bantamweight title in her illustrious career.
Exciting Fights on the UFC 324 Card
UFC 324 also promises engaging fights with Sean O’Malley squaring off against Song Yadong, Waldo Acosta-Cortez facing Derrick Lewis, and Jean Silva competing against Arnold Allen. Combining upcoming talent with seasoned fighters, this event guarantees a night filled with energy in Las Vegas.
The new era kicks off with high stakes, exciting matchups, and narratives that could redefine the UFC landscape in 2026. Fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be a remarkable start to the year.
