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 sixth 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:
Sean Strickland starts his weight cut while recapping the eventful press conference; Khamzat Chimaev sheds of his last few pounds surrounded by his entourage; Alexander Volkov enjoys being a heavyweight with a steak dinner; Sean Brady hits the sauna while his daughter watches; Khamzat gets to enjoy his pasta time; UFC fighters face off one last time at Ceremonial Weigh-Ins
