Paramount+ and UFC announce their first live collaboration with UFC 324, offering exclusive access to all marquee events.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow, the UFC co-creator and Combate Global CEO praised Dana White as the greatest promoter of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Ahead of UFC 324, its Paramount debut, the promotion revealed a new numbered event main card start time of 9 p.m. ET, a one-hour shift forward from its long-standing pay-per-view main card start time of 10 p.m. ET.

UFC 324 will be the first of 13 marquee numbered events next year, and will be headlined by former interim UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje, who will battle Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett. The co-main event has Kayla Harrison putting her UFC women’s bantamweight champion on the line against UFC Hall of Famer Amanda Nunes.

This afternoon, the official UFC Brazil account accidentally shared an announcement that UFC 324 had added a third title fight. It was to be for the BMF belt, currently held by Max Holloway, with Charles Oliveira the challenger.

Amanda Nunes' coach Din Thomas isn't upset with the UFC Hall of Famer's return being the UFC 324 co-main event.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and Paramount+ will kick off their billion-dollar programming partnership in just a few weeks — which includes a handful of events on CBS — but the promotion has yet to reveal the lineup for its first fight card under the new deal.
