The UFC opens up its Paramount+ broadcast in Las Vegas next month, and a former champion will take on a perennial title contender in the featured slot on the main card.
UFC 324 (Paramount+) takes place Jan. 24 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. An interim lightweight title is on the line at the top of the card, and the women’s bantamweight belt is up for grabs right before that.

In a key men’s fight at 135 pounds, though, former champ Sean O’Malley (18-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) will take on Yadong Song (22-8-1 MMA, 11-3-1 UFC) in a bout that will keep one of them in the title picture at bantamweight and send the other back into the pack.
The fight still is about five weeks out, but ahead of the potential slobberknocker, take a look at some of the best performances from O’Malley (his title win over Aljamain Sterling, KOs of Eddie Wineland and Kris Moutinho, and new champ Petr Yan) and Song (Marlon Moraes, Felipe Arantes, Marlon Vera and Ricky Simon) above.
