UFC 328 on Paramount+: Where to watch Khamzat Chimaev vs. Sean Strickland, plus everything you need to know
Complete schedule and viewing information so you can watch UFC 328 live in New Jersey on Saturday across Paramount+ and CBS
Another stacked UFC pay-per-view is set for Saturday when UFC 328 goes down from Newark, New Jersey. In the main event, Khamzat Chimaev will defend his middleweight championship against former champ Sean Strickland.
Chimaev dominated Dricus du Plessis at UFC 319 to win the title. Now, he puts the belt on the line against Strickland, who shocked the world by defeating Israel Adesanya to win the belt at UFC 293 before dropping it against du Plessis four months later.
Thursday's press conference delivered on lofty expectations for insanity as the two hurled insults at each other for 30 minutes before it all culminated in a heated face off where Chimaev actually kicked Strickland, leading to the two immediately being pulled off stage by security and law enforcement.

On Friday, UFC didn't even allow for the whiff of shenanigans between the two. Typically the final face off between the fighters takes place, but as soon as Chimaev hit the stage and jumped off the scale, he was ushered back by multiple security guards who would not let him get within 10 feet of Strickland as the American continued to hurl insults over the microphone.
Be sure to keep up with all the action on Saturday with our live coverage of UFC 328, including round-by-round scoring and updated fight results throughout the night!
The rest of the undercard is sure to feature plenty of great action inside the Prudential Center. The fight of most note sees Joshua Van look to make the first defense of his flyweight title when he takes on Tatsuro Taira in the co-main event. Van won the title in December when champion Alexandre Pantoja suffered a brutal elbow injury moments into their fight, which resulted in a TKO win for Van. Now, Van can prove any doubters wrong with a win over Taira, who enters with an 8-1 record in UFC at just 26 years old.
Here's how you can catch all the action on Saturday night from Newark, New Jersey.
