UFC 324: Justin Gaethje vs. Paddy Pimblett headline first Paramount+ card
Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett headline the UFC’s first card on Paramount+ this Saturday. Both fighters are fan favorites, though their rankings might not typically warrant a main event. Gaethje, ranked fourth, faces fifth-ranked challenger Pimblett for the interim lightweight title. Reigning champion Ilia Topuria is on leave and other top challengers are unavailable. This could be Gaethje’s final fight, and he enters as the underdog. Pimblett, competing in his first title bout, is eager to add Gaethje’s name to his resume. The event marks a new era for the UFC, now streaming on Paramount+.
