Here's what you need to know to watch UFC 324 on Paramount+ – the promotion’s debut on its new broadcast platform.
UFC commentator Jon Anik has said he feels that the promotion’s fight cards are “way too long”, as the company enters a new broadcast era. Saturday will see the UFC stream live on Paramount+ for the first time ever, following the mixed martial arts giant’s split from ESPN at the end of 2025.
“I think our biggest challenge is the fact that our events are way too long and we should have 10 or 11 fights instead of 15,” Anik said. “Even if you want to make this broadcast five or six hours instead of eight, I’d be OK with it, but we ask a lot of our fans, eight hours times 41 Saturdays.
UFC commentator Jon Anik reveals one thing he would change in the current UFC events if he had the option. He suggested Dana White to make some changes for better performance.
Thompson (17-9-1 MMA, 12-9-1 UFC), who turns 43 next month, doesn't have a fight scheduled yet, but has been keeping himself in shape in the meantime. He hasn't competed since a controversial decision loss to Gabriel Bonfim in July, his third-straight loss.
This week, the UFC surprised fans by announcing that former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya will make his comeback against Joe Pyfer during the promotion’s fifth trip to Seattle. The card also features a women’s flyweight showdown between Alexa Grasso and Maycee Barber.
