Main event: Khamzat Chimaev

Khamzat Chimaev, UFC 328 media workout interview

Record: 15-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC
Opponent: Sean Strickland (30-7 MMA, 17-7 UFC)
Division: Middleweight
Key wins: Dricus du Plessis, Robert Whittaker, Kamaru Usman, Kevin Holland, Gilbert Burns, Li Jingliang, Gerald Meerschaert
Misc.: Chimaev’s first title defense, some are predicting, will be a miracle to take place given the heat between him and Strickland at commit-actual-murder-with-a-gun levels. But let’s pretend it’ll go off without a hitch. It’ll be Chimaev’s first defense of the strap after he dominated Dricus du Plessis at UFC 319 to win it. The Chechnyan has seven post-fight bonuses in his nine walks to the cage in the UFC.

Main event: Sean Strickland

Sean Strickland, UFC 328 media workout interview

Record: 30-7 MMA, 17-7 UFC
Opponent: Khamzat Chimaev (15-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC)
Division: Middleweight
Key wins: Anthony Hernandez, Paulo Costa, Israel Adesanya, Nassourdine Imavov, Jack Hermansson, Brendan Allen
Misc.: After he upset Adesanya to win the middleweight title, Strickland lost it in his first attempted defense to Dricus du Plessis. He rebounded with a win over Paula Costa and got a rematch with DDP, but lost another decision. It probably should’ve taken him longer to get another crack at the belt, but his dominant win over Hernandez in February and the heat the UFC brass knew he’d generate with Chimaev made him a hard-to-resist choice for another title shot.

Co-main event: Joshua Van

Joshua Van, UFC 323

Record: 16-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC
Opponent: Tatsuro Taira (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC)
Division: Flyweight
Key wins: Alexandre Pantoja, Brandon Royval, Bruno Silva
Misc.: Van’s first title defense after his win over Pantoja won’t come in a rematch with the ex-champ, who suffered an injury 26 seconds into their fight that caused his loss. Instead, he gets Taira who will have the rare

Record: 18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC
Opponent: Joshua Van (16-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC)
Division: Flyweight
Key wins: Brandon Moreno, Park Hyun-sung, Alex Perez
Misc.: Taira was on the cusp of a title shot once before and dropped a split decision to Brandon Royval. But 2025 was a big bounce-back year when he submitted Park Hyun-sung in August, then knocked out former champ Brandon Moreno at UFC 323 in December. With Alexandre Pantoja not ready to return for a rematch with Van, Taira was a more-than-deserving challenger choice.
