BTL | Gaethje vs. Pimblett, UFC 324; Plus, Who Will Conor McGregor Fight At the White House?

The UFC is finally back!

This Saturday, the world's leading MMA promotion returns from a six-week hiatus, kicking off 2026 with UFC 324. Headlined by an interim lightweight title fight between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett, UFC 324 is the first event of the UFC's new Paramount broadcast deal, and sets the tone for the next era of MMA. So, of course, No Bets Barred is here to break it all down.

This week, host Jed Meshew is joined by Morning Kombat's Luke Noseda to discuss UFC 324, and predict the year-end champions for 2026. Topics discussed include whether Paddy Pimblett can complete his UFC title journey, how much Justin Gaethje has left in the tank, if Sean O'Malley will get a title shot with a win over Song Yadong, if Jean Silva is also fighting for a title shot, the start of a brand new Climb, and more.

Tune in for episode 146 of No Bets Barred.
