UFC 324 broadcast team announced for Paramount+ debut

Joe Rogan and a host of familiar faces are on hand for the UFC’s Paramount kickoff.

UFC 324, the promotion’s first event to air live on the Paramount+ streaming service, sees Rogan, Jon Anik, and Daniel Cormier manning the cageside commentary desk next Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This has been the go-to crew for the UFC’s major shows for several years, with Rogan occasionally stepping aside for select shows, and the first numbered event of 2026 is no different.

The broadcast team information was announced Thursday via a press release.

Analyzing the action at the host desk are former UFC champions Michael Bisping, Dominick Cruz, and Chris Weidman, with veteran CBS broadcaster Kate Scott joining the show for the first time. Scott is a veteran of several sports programs, including coverage of numerous notable boxing events.

Megan Olivi continues in her role as roaming reporter, with coach Din Thomas on hand to provide breakdowns between rounds.

And, of course, Bruce Buffer will be standing in the cage to announce the competing fighters.

UFC 324 is headlined by an interim lightweight title fight between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett. The co-main event features former bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley in a pivotal fight with Song Yadong. That bout was elevated up the card following the postponement of a highly anticipated clash between bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison and the returning Amanda Nunes, which was removed from the Jan. 24 lineup when Harrison announced she was withdrawing to undergo neck surgery.
