Paddy Pimblett vs. Justin Gaethje: Full card details

The main card on UFC 324 features a total of five fights, featuring the likes of Paddy Pimblett, Sean O’Malley, Waldo Cortes Acosta, and Jean Silva, among others. 

Main Card

• Interim Lightweight Championship (5 rounds): Justin Gaethje vs. Paddy Pimblett
• Bantamweight: Sean O’Malley vs. Song Yadong
• Heavyweight: Waldo Cortes Acosta vs. Derrick Lewis
• Women’s Flyweight: Natalia Silva vs. Rose Namajunas
• Featherweight: Arnold Allen vs. Jean Silva

Notably, Deiveson Figueiredo came in overweight during weigh-ins, tipping the scale at 138.5 pounds—2.5 pounds over the limit for his fight against Umar Nurmagomedov. Something similar happened to Alex Perez, who came in 2.5 pounds above the flyweight limit, for his fight against Charles Johnson. Both fights are still moving forward, as planned. 

But they were fined 25% of their purses. Yet the most drastic scene came when bantamweight prospect Cameron Smotherman collapsed moments after weighing in for his fight against Ricky Turcios. The 28-year-old was taken to the hospital, and his fight was immediately cancelled. 

Prelims

• Bantamweight (or catchweight due to weight miss): Umar Nurmagomedov vs. Deiveson Figueiredo
• Middleweight: Ateba Gautier vs. Andrey Pulyaev
• Light Heavyweight: Nikita Krylov vs. Modestas Bukauskas
• Flyweight (or catchweight due to weight miss): Alex Perez vs. Charles Johnson

Early Prelims

• Lightweight: Michael Johnson vs. Alexander Hernandez
• Heavyweight: Josh Hokit vs. Denzel Freeman
• Welterweight: Adam Fugitt vs. Ty Miller

Despite the hiccups, that’s a pretty decent card for 2026’s first UFC event, as the promotion steps into its Paramount era. Will you tune it?
