The UFC is finally back for their first card of 2026 and the first card of their Paramount+ broadcast deal. It’s a good show, worth investing the time to watch it, with a main event that pits the aging slugger against the more youthful grappler. All the fights on the main portion are solid and should appeal to a wide range of fans—even without the Nunes-Harrison title bout. Now, let’s take a look at all the fights from the main card and the rest of the alternative stats.UFC 324 Main Card* Justin Gaethje vs. Paddy Pimblett 155 lbs* Sean O’Malley vs. Song Yadong 135 lbs* Waldo Cortes-Acosta vs. Derrick Lewis 265 lbs* Natalia Silva vs. Rose Namajunas 125 lbs* Arnold Allen vs. Jean Silva 145 lbsUFC 324 Alternative Facts* Ranked Fights: 7* Ranked Fighters: 15* Fighters coming off losses: 7* Contender Series Alumni: 8* TUF Alumni: 3* Road to UFC Alumni: 0* Debut: 1Make sure to tune in immediately after this Saturday’s fights for breakdowns and analysis on our 6th Round Post-Fight Show.
