The UFC’s partnership with new broadcast platforms always brings excitement and uncertainty. How will the promotion adapt its scheduling and matchmaking? Which fighters will headline these landmark events? Paramount’s involvement represents a significant shift in how the world’s premier MMA organization reaches its audience. January cards typically set the tone for the entire year ahead and UFC 324 would be a massive statement event for this new broadcasting era. <\/p>
The Las Vegas card currently sits almost empty with only one scheduled fight between Nikita Krylov and Modestas Bukauskas. That’s about to change in a big way if recent reports prove accurate. UFC 324 gets a major update as Ariel Helwani reveals crucial details about the January card, potentially featuring one of the biggest women’s fights in promotional history as the Paramount era officially begins.<\/p>
Helwani dropped the news on his podcast Monday, stating that Amanda Nunes vs Kayla Harrison for the women’s bantamweight title is being targeted as the main event for an upcoming UFC card. He specifically mentioned January as the timeframe, which would be UFC<\/a> 324 in Las Vegas. <\/p> “It sounds as of now that [the Ilia Topuria] fight isn’t scheduled for January. What I’m hearing the plan is, front runner – Kayla vs Amanda. Could they do both? Sure. But I’m not hearing that that’s a part of the mix.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
