UFC 324: Gaethje vs. Pimblett Early Full Card Preview and Predictions

UFC 324: Gaethje vs. Pimblett is the UFC's first card in 2026, and is the first UFC card under the new Paramount+ streaming partnership. This is a very strong card with 14 fights booked, featuring highly ranked contenders as well as upcoming prospects the UFC is looking to build. Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett will compete for the interim UFC lightweight title while current champion Ilia Topuria is sidelined, and one the greatest fighters of all time, Amanda Nunes returns to face the current bantamweight champion Kayla Harisson. Notable names such as Sean O'Malley, Umar Nurmagomedov, Derrick Lewis, and Jean Silva make up the strong supporting card. The UFC is certainly looking to start strong in 2026.
