The MUST-WATCH live reaction to a historic weekend! We are LIVE right now breaking down EVERYTHING from UFC 324, where Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett delivered an instant classic. We're kicking off a massive new partnership with the legends at @allthesmoke and @atsfight, and we have a star-studded lineup to dissect it all. You get the insider perspective you can't find anywhere else, straight from the UFC's lead commentator and a former title contender.

How does Gaethje's win set up the lightweight division? Did Pimblett earn respect in defeat? What was it like for Alex Perez to get that huge knockout after a tough skid? Jon Anik, Kenny Florian, and coach Ray Longo bring a combined decades of Octagon-side experience to give you the definitive take on the weekend's biggest moments and what comes next.

We're also looking AHEAD to UFC 325: Volkanovski vs. Lopes II! Stick around for our Main-Event Challenge segment with @ianparkermma, where we break down the entire card and give you the insights you need before fight night.
