Complete UFC 324 results – The first of the calendar year also marks the first event on the promotion’s new broadcast home, Paramount+.
In the main event, Justin Gaethje meets Paddy Pimblett for the promotion’s interim lightweight title.

One fight was lost from the card yesterday when Cameron Smotherman passed out on stage after successfully weighing in for his fight against Ricky Turcios.
Today, just hours before the event’s start, Michael Johnson vs. Alexander Hernandez was also removed from the card. No reason was given for the cancellation, but it was speculated that sportsbooks were flagging “irregular betting patterns” for the matchup.
