UFC 324 Fight Previews
Paddy Pimblett Next Fight: vs. Justin Gaethje for Interim Lightweight Title
Paddy Pimblett's next fight is the biggest of his career—a five-round main event against Justin Gaethje for the interim UFC lightweight championship. The Liverpool native (23-3) enters on a nine-fight winning streak, including seven straight UFC victories. His most recent win came via submission over Michael Chandler at UFC 314.
Pimblett has predicted an early finish, claiming the UFC fight won't go past the third round. He plans to keep the fight standing initially before implementing his elite grappling, telling media he's confident his unorthodox style will pose problems for the veteran.
At 37 years old, Justin "The Highlight" Gaethje (26-5) is making what could be his final push for undisputed UFC gold. The former interim champion previously held the belt after defeating Tony Ferguson in 2020 but has fallen short in two undisputed title fights against Khabib Nurmagomedov and Charles Oliveira.
Gaethje remains one of the most violent fighters in UFC history, earning performance bonuses in 12 of his 14 Octagon appearances. He's just $50,000 away from becoming the second UFC fighter to earn $1 million in post-fight bonuses. A win puts him directly in line to face undisputed lightweight champion Ilia Topuria, who has indicated a spring return.
Sean O'Malley vs. Song Yadong – Bantamweight Bout
Former bantamweight champion Sean "Suga" O'Malley (18-3) is looking to snap a two-fight losing streak after dropping back-to-back bouts to Merab Dvalishvili. Despite the setbacks, O'Malley remains one of MMA's biggest draws and holds a controversial split decision victory over current bantamweight champion Petr Yan.
Song Yadong (22-8) has quietly climbed the rankings with a 3-1 record in his last four UFC fights. The Chinese power puncher defeated former two-division champion Henry Cejudo in February 2025 and sees this as his opportunity to break into title contention. A win over a former champion on this UFC card could be career-defining.
Umar Nurmagomedov vs. Deiveson Figueiredo – Bantamweight Bout
This prelim headliner is a potential title eliminator. Umar Nurmagomedov (19-1), the #1 ranked bantamweight, bounced back from his first career loss with a dominant victory over Mario Bautista in October. Former two-time flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo (25-5-1) has revitalized his career at 135 pounds and is making one more push for championship gold at age 37.
Waldo Cortes-Acosta vs. Derrick Lewis – Heavyweight Bout
Undefeated Dominican heavyweight Waldo Cortes-Acosta (10-0) brings back-to-back first-round finishes into this clash against knockout legend Derrick Lewis (28-12). Lewis blitzed Tallison Teixeira in just 35 seconds last July. This heavyweight collision could end in a flash.
Natalia Silva vs. Rose Namajunas – Women's Flyweight Bout
Natalia Silva (17-5) enters with a perfect 7-0 UFC record and a seven-fight winning streak, putting her on the doorstep of flyweight title contention. Former two-time strawweight champion Rose "Thug Rose" Namajunas (12-6) has won three of her last four fights since moving to 125 pounds.
UFC 324 Card Changes
The UFC 324 card was originally scheduled to feature a women's bantamweight championship co-main event between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes—which would have marked Nunes' return from retirement. However, Harrison withdrew after being diagnosed with herniated discs in her neck requiring surgery. The fight is expected to be rescheduled.
