The break was worth it for fans as UFC 324 delivered exactly what fans waited for. The prelim card was full of knockouts. However, fans saw the same in the main event as well, as Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett showed everyone a brawl and a breathtaking performance. The full five rounds were full of knockdowns and heavy blows.

After the full five rounds, Gaethje defeated ‘The Baddy’ brutally via unanimous decision. The performance was so epic that the UFC commentator couldn’t stop praising both fighters. From the very first round, it was a war. As Gaethje won the fight, he can now fight for the lightweight title against Ilia Topuria.

Sean O’Malley finally came into the winning zone after two years. He defeated Song Yadong by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). Yadong took O’Malley down, but not much was done. But fans saw a classic ‘Suga’ performance in the third round.

Meanwhile, the heavyweight star Waldo Cortes-Acosta defeated Derrick Lewis by TKO. During the first round, both fighters were looking for a clean shot but couldn’t connect. However, during Round 2, Lewis slipped and fell to the ground, and Acosta grabbed the opportunity and finished in style.

The flyweight clash between elite contenders Natalia Silva and Rose Namajunas was a close fight. However, Silva defeated Namajunas by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). Meanwhile, the featherweight star Jean Silva bounced back from his previous loss in a dominant way as he defeated Arnold Allen by unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28).
