UFC 324 live streams will see the much-anticipated Justin Gaethje vs Paddy Pimblett match in the main event slot at the T-Mobile Arena, as the two battle it out in Las Vegas for the interim Lightweight Championship in current no. 1 Ilia Topuria's absence – and there's a sneaky way to watch UFC 324 for free.

This weekend's main card also sees two of UFC's best bantamweights – Sean O'Malley and Song Yadong – return to the Octagon after long layoffs to stake their claim to challenge for Petr Yan's recently re-acquired title. While Natália Silva vs Rose Namajunas headlines the women's action.

With Paramount Plus picking up the coverage for the first time in the US, here's where to watch UFC 324 live streams online and from anywhere with a VPN.
