Quick read
Dana White announced several major fights that will anchor the UFC’s early 2026 schedule, including Justin Gaethje vs. Paddy Pimblett for an interim lightweight title and Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes for the women’s bantamweight championship. The card also includes Sean O’Malley vs. Song Yadong, Alexa Grasso vs. Rose Namajunas, Arnold Allen vs. Jean Silva, Derrick Lewis vs. Waldo Cortes-Acosta, and Umar Nurmagomedov vs. Deiveson Figueiredo. The announcement matters because it clarifies the title picture at lightweight and women’s bantamweight while giving multiple divisional contenders a clear path forward. UFC 324 is scheduled for January 24 in Las Vegas, with UFC 325 following a week later in Sydney.[5]
