The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns with UFC 328, scheduled for May 10 in Newark, New Jersey. The event features a stacked card with championship bouts and exciting matchups across multiple weight classes.
In the main event, middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev will put his title on the line against former champion Sean Strickland. Chimaev, who represents the United Arab Emirates, captured the belt in his last outing by defeating South African contender Dricus du Plessis via unanimous decision. Strickland earned his shot at the gold by knocking out Anthony Hernandez in his most recent performance.
The co-main event showcases another championship clash as flyweight titleholder Joshua Van defends his belt against Japanese challenger Taturo Taira. Both fighters will look to make a statement in their respective divisions.
Fans can catch all the action through multiple broadcast options. The live telecast will air on Russian television channels Match TV and Match Fighter. International viewers can stream the event through the UFC Fight Pass digital platform.
The main card is set to begin at 4:00 AM Moscow time, making it a late-night event for Russian audiences. Preliminary bouts will likely start earlier, with the full fight card expected to deliver several hours of high-level mixed martial arts competition.
This event continues the UFC's tradition of delivering championship-caliber matchups in major markets. Newark has previously hosted significant UFC events, and the promotion expects another memorable night of fights at this venue.
