The time for talk is almost over. Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland have had one of the ugliest builds in MMA history. On Saturday, they'll settle matters at UFC 328. The winner gets bragging rights and the UFC middleweight title.
There's a chaotic energy when Chimaev and Strickland are in the same room. Thursday's press conference was madness. The crowd response was deafening as Saturday's headliners hurled insults at each other. UFC CEO Dana White, armed to the teeth with security, allowed them to face off. Even the police presence couldn't stop Chimaev from sneaking in a kick.

In the co-main event, Joshua Van makes his first flyweight title defense against Tatsuro Taira. There's more significance to the fight than just the title. Van and Taira are the two youngest fighters in the flyweight top 15, signaling a shift in the division. Van, the second youngest champion in UFC history, has naysayers after winning the title by injury. Japan has a rich martial arts history, but the country has never produced a UFC champion. Taira is hours away from being the first.
