To say the 2026 kickoff event for the Ultimate Fighting Championship is stacked is becoming an understatement.
On the prelims of UFC 324, a major flyweight clash will play out as Alexa Grasso (16-5-1) faces Rose Namajunas (14-7). The organization announced this bout among many on Thursday, filling out a good portion of the first UFC event in 2026. It will be a numbered event but it will not air on pay-per-view, instead being placed on the Paramount+ platform and possibly CBS itself. The main card—of this event and all standard numbered shows going forward—will have a new start time of 9 p.
