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.

- 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.
