Paddy Pimblett Trolls Arman Tsarukyan After UFC 324 Interim Title Fight Announcement, 'Ahalkalakets' Responds

The interim lightweight title fight will keep the division active while undisputed champion Ilia Topuria takes personal leave, with a unification bout planned later this year.

  • On Jan. 24, Justin Gaethje will meet Paddy Pimblett in the interim title main event at T-Mobile Arena, Dana White announced during Thursday's NFL broadcast.
  • With Topuria remaining the undisputed champion, the UFC implemented an interim title after he wrote 'I won't be fighting in the first quarter of next year' on X.
  • The UFC packed the main card with former champions and high-profile matchups, including Kayla Harrison defending her title against Amanda Nunes, who is returning from retirement.
  • Winning UFC 324 positions the victor for a unification with Ilia Topuria later this year, and Gaethje had said he would likely retire if not booked a title fight, raising stakes.
  • Under the new $7.7 billion deal, UFC 324 launches the promotion's domestic partnership with Paramount+, letting U.S. and Latin American fans watch marquee events exclusively with no pay-per-view charge.
