One of the most intense rivalries in MMA today will look to be settled in the octagon when the UFC heads to New Jersey on May 9 for UFC 328.
The main event will see Khamzat Chimaev defend the UFC middleweight title against former champion Sean Strickland.
Chimaev (15-0) is one of the most dangerous fighters competing today. The Chechen blew minds in 2020 due to his aggressive style. He had a rocket ship on his back early on. However, health issues following a COVID-19 infection affected his career.
“Borz” managed to overcome those issues and beat Dricus du Plessis at UFC 319 to win the UFC middleweight title. He patiently waited for his first assignment as champion and finally got his man.

Strickland (30-7) beat Israel Adesanya in 2023 for the middleweight title. He’s since gone 2-2 in his last four fights, breaking down Anthony Hernandez in February. The controversial fighter is close to holding top striking records in the middleweight division.
There has been plenty of tension between the former sparring partners. Strickland is not shy in calling Chimaev every name in the book. A tense press conference is expected, and fight night is expected to result in a unique atmosphere.
