UFC 323 will mark the end of the pay-per-view era as the promotion’s deal with ESPN in America makes way for Paramount + starting next year, and they’re delivering a big night of fights in Las Vegas.
The T-Mobile Arena will play host to both Saturday’s event and UFC 324 on January 24, and overall there will be four title fights across those nights of action. We kick off with a double header this weekend.
In the main event, Merab Dvalishvili is making a record-breaking fourth defence of his bantamweight title in a year against Petr Yan. Then in our co-main event, Joshua Van continues his lightning ascent through the ranks to challenge the seemingly unbeatable flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja.
The next three undercard fights all feature former champions as Henry Cejudo, Brandon Moreno and Jan Blachowicz all return for their latest efforts inside the octagon.

UFC 323 Betting Preview and Best Bets
With all of the world title pedigree on this card, there is no doubt that you can be waking up on Sunday morning much richer with the right picks..
The first one that jumps off the page to us is Jalin Turner vs Edson Barboza on the prelim card. Two exciting strikers who are well able to find a finish, for sure. But stylistically, these two really cancel one another out and that price of 14/5 on the fight to go the distance seems too good to pass up, even if it is just an outside punt.
Also, even with one eye it would seem that Henry Cejudo should be expected to get the better of Payton Talbott. However, we have the former two-weight champion priced at 21/10, which appears to be tremendous value as the Olympic champion attempts to end his career on a high against the fast-rising youngster. Talbott couldn’t handle the intense grappling and pace of Raoni Barcelos, and even at this late stage of his career you’d have to think Cejudo is superior to that level.
Pantoja v Van is sure to be exciting, but we aren’t sure which is the better price between winner by decision and winner by KO, TKO or DQ. The first one is just over evens at 5/4, while the latter is 3/1. They both seem good value, but these are flyweights so you can never be sure of a stoppage.
The main event isn’t going to make you rich, unless the weight cut gets to Merab Dvalishvili after four efforts at it this year. Petr Yan couldn’t get it done the first time, and at 31/10 there doesn’t seem to be much confidence that he does it this time around. Let’s see, though, and have a look at the 3/1 on the fight to go under 4.5 rounds.
