UFC 328 on Paramount+: Where to watch Khamzat Chimaev vs. Sean Strickland, plus everything you need to know
Complete schedule and viewing information so you can watch UFC 328 live in New Jersey on Saturday across Paramount+ and CBS
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.
Thursday's press conference delivered on lofty expectations for insanity as the two hurled insults at each other for 30 minutes before it all culminated in a heated face off where Chimaev actually kicked Strickland, leading to the two immediately being pulled off stage by security and law enforcement.

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.
Also on Saturday night, a pivotal heavyweight contest is scheduled when veteran Alexander Volkov takes on rising contender Waldo Cortes-Acosta. Volkov has won five of his last six with the lone defeat coming by split decision to Ciryl Gane in December 2024 in a fight many believed he had done enough to win. Now, he looks to turn back the challenge of Cortes-Acosta, who enters on a three-fight win streak with all three coming by knockout.
Here's how you can catch all the action on Saturday night from Newark, New Jersey.
