A middleweight title fight will headline UFC 328.
UFC 328 arrives on Saturday night, live from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, as the promotion delivers another blockbuster pay-per-view in the Paramount+ era.
The UFC 328 card is headlined by a grudge match of the highest order, the UFC Middleweight Championship on the line as undefeated champion Khamzat Chimaev takes on former champion and bitter rival Sean Strickland.
Chimaev (15-0), fighting out of the United Arab Emirates by way of Chechnya, Russia, enters this title defence having already dethroned Dricus du Plessis, Robert Whittaker, and Kamaru Usman on his unbeaten run to the top.
Strickland (30-7), fighting out of Corona, California, looks to become a two-time middleweight champion by handing Chimaev the first loss of his career.
The co-main event at UFC 328 is equally compelling, with newly crowned UFC Flyweight Champion Joshua Van defending his belt for the first time against Japanese contender Tatsuro Taira.
The supporting card also features Alexander Volkov vs Waldo Cortes-Acosta in a heavyweight showdown, a welterweight clash between Sean Brady and Joaquin Buckley, and a lightweight bout between veterans Jim Miller and Jared Gordon.
Streaming on Paramount+ in the US and Sony LIV in India, here is everything you need to know about start times worldwide.
