The UFC opens up its Paramount+ broadcast era in Las Vegas next month, and the women’s MMA GOAT is making her return.
UFC 324 (Paramount+) takes place Jan. 24 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. An interim lightweight title is on the line at the top of the card, and the women’s bantamweight belt is up for grabs right before that in a co-feature that really ought to be the headliner.

Women’s 135-pound champion Kayla Harrison (19-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC), a two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo and two-time PFL champion, will welcome UFC Hall of Famer Amanda Nunes (23-5 MMA, 16-2 UFC) out of retirement after nearly three years.
Nunes, a former two-division champ at 135 pounds and featherweight, is considered the greatest women’s fighter in MMA history, but two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time PFL $1 million winner Harrison is a 2-1 betting favorite.
Ahead of the bout, which arguably is the biggest fight in women’s MMA history, check out a marathon featuring full fights from Harrison and Nunes. You’ll see Harrison’s UFC debut win over ex-champ Holly Holm, her win over Ketlen Vieira, and her destructive and dominant win over Julianna Peña to win the title earlier this year.
Plus, see former double-champ Nunes’ full wins over Cris Cyborg to win the featherweight title; Miesha Tate to win the bantamweight title; a defense against flyweight champ Valentina Shevchenko; and wins over Holm and Irene Aldana.
