MMA Fighting previews UFC 324 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, headlined by Justin Gaethje vs. Paddy Pimblett for the interim lightweight title, with co-main Sean O'Malley vs. Song Yadong, plus a full main-card, prelims, and early prelims lineup; it also notes a weigh-in incident that led to the cancellation of Turcios vs. Smotherman and confirms MMA Fighting will provide results and live blogs.
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.
