Kate Scott lands new job with UFC alongside Joe Rogan for debut event with broadcaster
Kate Scott has joined forces with the UFC and is set for her first broadcast with Dana White’s promotion.
Scott, known for her work as a CBS Sports presenter covering the UEFA Champions League, will host the broadcast desk for UFC 324 on January 24.
She also worked for Netflix on Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson, but is now set for her debut in MMA’s biggest promotion at UFC 324, which takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The 44-year-old joins former UFC champions Michael Bisping, Dominick Cruz and Chris Weidman on the desk.
UFC 324 is the promotion’s first card of 2026 and its inaugural show as part of its whopping $7.7billion broadcast deal with CBS and Paramount+.
Joe Rogan, Jon Anik and former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier all remain on the commentary booth, just like the ESPN days, for the Las Vegas card.

Who is fighting at UFC 324?
UFC 324 is headlined by an interim lightweight title fight between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett.
Gaethje has recognised it’s his last chance at winning undisputed gold, while Pimblett wants to hold his first title by earning his eighth consecutive UFC win.
Both men have been promised a fight with undisputed lightweight champion Ilia Topuria, who is currently sidelined dealing with a personal matter, should they come out on top.
The co-main event was scheduled to be a women’s spectacle between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes for the bantamweight title, until just this week.
On Wednesday, it was confirmed that Harrison had withdrawn from the bout due to a neck injury.
She later provided an update from hospital and couldn’t hold back her emotions when apologising to her opponent, fans, the UFC and more.
Harrison’s pullout meant Sean O’Malley‘s fight with Song Yadong was promoted to the chief support act.
Also on the main card, former UFC champion Rose Namajunas faces Natalia Silva, Waldo Cortes-Acosta fights Derrick Lewis at heavyweight, and Arnold Allen takes on Jean Silva in a battle of the top-ranked featherweights.
US fans can watch the event on Paramount+ as part of their regular subscription.
Fans in the UK and Ireland can catch it on TNT Sports Box Office for £19.99.
