The UFC is back on the East Coast for UFC 328, its fifth numbered event of the calendar year, and two titles are on the line in New Jersey.
The popular "Embedded" fight week video series is here to document what's happening behind the scenes. UFC 328 (Paramount+) takes place Saturday at Prudential Center in Newark.
The headliner is a middleweight title fight between champion Khamzat Chimaev (15-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) and ex-champ Sean Strickland (30-7 MMA, 17-7 UFC). There have been threats of violence between the two that fall outside the realm of cagefighting, which has added intrigue to the week.
In the co-feature, Joshua Van (16-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) puts his flyweight title on the line for the first time, and he's an underdog against challenger Tatsuro Taira (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC).
The fifth episode of "Embedded" follows the featured fighters while they get ready for fight week. Here is the UFC's description of the episode from YouTube:
"Khamzat Chimaev reveals his favorite fight camp meal; Sean Strickland explores the New Jersey wilderness with his wife; Waldo Cortes-Acosta reminisces on his MLB days at the batting cages; Tatsuro Taira makes final preparations with his family’s support; Joshua Van shows off his outfit for the UFC 328 Press Conference; main and co-main athletes take the stage with fiery words and explosive faceoffs."
