Despite the cancellation of the fight between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes for the UFC bantamweight title as the co-main event, we have the matchup between Sean O'Malley and Yadong Song moving up the card.

That will join the main headline of the event, with Justin Gaethje taking on Paddy Pimblett, with the winner being crowned the interim UFC lightweight champion.

  • Justin Gaethje (26-5) vs Paddy Pimblett (23-3)

UFC 324: Betting Preview

At Sportsbet, we're all about trying to help you find potential value - so, here are our top UFC 324 betting predictions for the biggest fights on the card:

  • Justin Gaethje vs Paddy Pimblett: We predict that Pimblett will win this fight, with a submission victory offering good value.
  • Sean O'Malley vs Yadong Song: With O'Malley the favourite, we do think he will win. However, we believe that this fight could go down to a decision in the American's favour.
  • Waldo Cortes-Acosta vs Derrick Lewis: We think Cortes-Acosta is most likely to be the winner of this fight, having made a huge impression last year. We like the value that is being shown in the 'Waldo Cortes-Acosta by KO/TKO' market.
  • Natalia Silva vs Rose Namajunas: We think Namajunas is seriously underrated heading into this fight. She has plenty of experience and has been at the top before. Silva has been impressive, but we like Namajunas in this one.
