The anticipation builds as the highly-awaited UFC 324 event unfolds on Saturday from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The highlight of the night is a fierce preliminary lightweight clash between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett as both fighters aim for supremacy in the competitive 155-pound weight class.
Beginning this Saturday, only a Paramount+ subscription is required to catch all the thrilling action. A notable adjustment this time is the main card, which will start at 9 PM ET, an hour earlier than usual, pushing the early prelims to 5 PM ET and prelims to 7 PM ET.
Follow live updates on UFC 324: Justin Gaethje vs. Paddy Pimblett as this marks Paramount+’s official debut for UFC events.
Gaethje is celebrated for being an exhilarating action fighter with a track record of 14 performance bonuses due to his knack for knockouts. He has previously held the interim title, failing to unify with the reigning champion during his last attempt.
“I’m the underdog, and my opponent is filled with confidence,” Gaethje declared. “In this game, you better be perfect, and I’m prepared to capitalize on any mistakes.”
On the other hand, Pimblett arrives with a perfect 7-0 record since joining the UFC in 2021. With five stoppages to his name, he faces perhaps his biggest challenge yet as he continues his rapid rise through the ranks.
The main card will host several former champions and promising contenders, starting with Jean Silva versus Arnold Allen in a featherweight bout. Silva, overcoming a tough loss to Diego Lopes, remains a formidable competitor in the 145-pound division.
Former strawweight champion Rose Namajunas is set to duke it out against Natalia Silva, while heavyweights Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Derrick Lewis are also on the card. The co-main event features Sean O’Malley seeking redemption against the formidable Song Yadong.
