📺 Is UFC 324 on PPV?

For the first time in over four years, you don't need to have pay-per-view to see a numbered UFC card. 

Paramount+ will have all the action, from the early prelims at 5 p.m. ET all the way through 9 p.m. ET. No pay-per-view needed.

🎤 What the pros are saying

The pros have spoken out on our main event, with some big names as split as fans will be.

Frequent Gaethje opponent Dustin Poirier has backed the veteran fighter to pick up the strap on Saturday, and he's joined by other UFC fighters such as Dan Hooker and Khalil Rountree. It's a big lean into Gaethje's experience paying off.

However, Pimblett isn't without his supporters. Ilia Topuria, the current lightweight title holder who isn't fighting for the first half of the year, and Sean O'Malley (who is also fighting on this card) have both backed "the Baddy" to get the job done.
