The UFC is back in Newark, New Jersey, for UFC 328. The UFC’s last appearance at the Prudential Center came in June 2025. One of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, Khamzat Chimaev, is defending his UFC Middleweight Championship against former title holder Sean Strickland in the Main Event. The second championship fight on this card is Joshua Van vs. Tatsuro Taira for the 125-pound title.

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Chimaev is a -500 favorite while the former champion is a +380 underdog. In the co-main event, the challenger is a -155 favorite, while the champion is a +130 underdog.

I will be updating this live blog throughout the UFC 328 Main Card.
