UFC 324, headlined by Justin Gaethje vs. Paddy Pimblett for the interim lightweight title on January 24, 2026, in Las Vegas, pits the veteran brawler against the rising star in a clash for lightweight supremacy, with a stacked card featuring Sean O'Malley vs. Song Yadong and Derrick Lewis vs. Waldo Cortes-Acosta. Originally set with a women's championship, injuries shifted the co-main to O'Malley vs. Yadong, with this event kicking off the new Paramount+ era for UFC broadcasts in the U.S., moving away from traditional PPV.
