The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s first card of 2026—and of the Paramount era—comes with an impressive amount of depth on the UFC 324 prelims this Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The clear highlight takes the featured slot, as Umar Nurmagomedov could earn another bantamweight title shot with a win against Deiveson Figueiredo in a fight that should combine extremely high stakes with some entertaining action. Beyond that, there are some engaging crossroads fights, led by light heavyweight Nikita Krylov and flyweight Alex Perez looking to hold serve against Modestas Bukauskas and Charles Johnson.
