Gaethje ties Fight of the Night record

Justin Gaethje tied the UFC record for Fight of the Night awards with his showing at UFC 324 on Jan. 25, 2026.

He now reportedly has 10 Fight of the Night honors and 15 post-fight bonuses in 15 UFC appearances, matching Dustin Poirier and Edson Barboza.

Gaethje achieved the mark while winning the interim lightweight title in the UFC 324 main event against Paddy Pimblett.

He is expected to await champion Ilia Topuria's return, reportedly scheduled between April and July, for a unification bout.

Exact timing and opponent confirmations are being discussed and will be announced later.
