UFC 324 Kickoff Signals a New Era, Even Without Harrison-Nunes
TL;DR
A roundtable on MMA Fighting argues UFC 324 is a strong January card that effectively kicks off the Paramount-era push, despite the Harrison-Nunes cancellation. The main event between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett is a marquee but won’t settle the undisputed lightweight crown, as Ilia Topuria and Arman Tsarukyan remain in the mix. The panel also highlights appealing co-mains like Sean O’Malley vs Song Yadong and the Cortes-Acosta vs Lewis pairing, framing the show as a vehicle to attract new fans to MMA while leaving room for title implications.
