UFC 328 live results: Khamzat Chimaev vs. Sean Strickland updates, round-by-round scoring and highlights

Uncrowned has UFC 328 live results, round-by-round updates, highlights and start time for the Khamzat Chimaev vs. Sean Strickland fight card on Saturday night at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. In a heated grudge match, UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev makes the first defense of his belt against former champion Sean Strickland in the night’s five-round main event. Flyweight champion Joshua Van puts his title on the line against Tatsuro Taira in the evening’s co-headliner.

Chimaev (15-0) vs. Strickland (30-7) has had quite the eventful lead-up. The two middleweights have been at odds since their relationship turned soured following a brief stretch as sparring partners at Las Vegas’ Xtreme Couture gym. That animosity has ratcheted up tenfold since UFC 328’s headliner was booked, leading to Chimaev kicking Strickland this week following a fiery, expletive-laden pre-fight press conference.

Chimaev, 32, is Uncrowned’s No. 3 pound-for-pound fighter and one of the most dominant fighters in the sport. A terrifying pace-setter with perhaps the best wrestling in the 185-pound division, “The Wolf” has won all nine of his UFC appearances across two weight classes, culminating in his dominant title win over Dricus du Plessis in August.

Strickland, 35, lost his UFC middleweight title to du Plessis in 2025 but rebounded this past February with a third-round stoppage of Anthony Hernandez.

In the co-headliner, Van (16-2) and Taira (18-1) are set to make history as the first UFC title bout contested between two Asian male fighters, as well as the title bout with the youngest combined age between both competitors; Van is 24, while Taira is 26.

UFC 328’s preliminary card starts at 5 p.m. ET on Paramount+. The main card begins live at 9 p.m. ET on Paramount+, free for all subscribers.
