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.

In the co-main event, Joshua Van will defend the flyweight championship against Tatsuro Taira. Van became champion in December when Alexandre Pantoja suffered an arm injury less than 30 seconds into their UFC 323 bout. While an unsatisfying way to become champion, Van has the opportunity to establish himself as a "true champion" against a dangerous opponent in Taira.
