Ateba Gautier set for UFC 324 return

Ateba Gautier is scheduled to meet Andrey Pulyaev on the UFC 324 preliminary card this Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The 23-year-old middleweight arrives off a breakout rookie run featuring several early stoppages and is being billed as an unranked prospect with high upside.

Gautier has reportedly declared he is intensely motivated and expects to finish his opponent in this outing.

Pulyaev is viewed as a durable test who has gone the distance in prior fights, making this the toughest assignment of Gautier’s short UFC tenure so far.
