For the first main event of 2026, the Ultimate Fighting Championship travels back home to “Sin City” for UFC 324. The main event features American Justin Gaethje (26-5-0) battles English fighter Paddy Pimblett (23-3-0) in a marquee match for the interim lightweight title. It’s scheduled for five rounds.

UFC 324: Gaethje vs. Pimblett takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, Jan. 24. The early prelims start at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT, while the main card kicking off at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

Both fighters have been growing in the ranks of UFC and each will have a chance to finally win the UFC Lightweight Championship (if only temporarily). Current, champion Ilia Topuria is stepping away from fighting for the first half of the year due to personal reasons. It’s unclear if Topuria would return to the UFC. In the meantime, Gaethje and Pimblett have a shot at greatness in 2026.
