UFC’s First Paramount+ Fight Card to Feature Paddy Pimblett, vs. Justin Gaethje, Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes

The UFC has unveiled the fight card for their first ever event on Paramount+.

UFC 324, scheduled for Jan. 24, 2026 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, will be headlined by a fight between lightweight powerhouses Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett (23-3-0) and former UFC interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje (26-5-0) in an interim UFC lightweight title fight. The bout will determine who will face current UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria later in 2026.

In the co-main event, UFC women’s bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison (19-1-0) puts her title on the line against UFC Hall of Famer and former two-division champion Amanda Nunes (23-5-0).

“Saturday, January 24th in Las Vegas kicks off this incredible partnership with Paramount,” said UFC president and CEO Dana White. “I am so excited for UFC fans that our first card has six current and former champions, including the long-awaited return of the greatest female fighter of all time – which is definitely the biggest women’s fight ever. Also, in the main event we have Justin Gaethje versus Paddy Pimblett for the interim lightweight title to see who will face Ilia Topuria later this year on Paramount+. This card is absolutely stacked – every fight is a must-see. This deal is such a huge win for fans with no more pay-per-view. I look forward to 2026 being our best year ever.”

Additonal fights on the card include former UFC men’s bantamweight champion “Suga” Sean O’Malley (18-3-0) vs. Song “Kung Fu Kid” Yadong (22-8-1) as well as Waldo Cortes Acosta (16-2) vs. Derrick Lewis.
