The UFC is back on the East Coast for UFC 328, its fifth numbered event of the calendar year, and two titles are on the line in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

The popular “Embedded” fight week video series is here to document what’s happening behind the scenes. UFC 328 (Paramount+) takes place Saturday at Prudential Center in\u00a0Newark.<\/p>\n

The headliner is a middleweight title fight between champion Khamzat Chimaev<\/a> (15-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) and ex-champ Sean Strickland<\/a> (30-7 MMA, 17-7 UFC). There have been threats of violence between the two that fall outside the realm of cagefighting, which has added intrigue to the week.<\/p>\n

In the co-feature, Joshua Van<\/a> (16-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) puts his flyweight title on the line for the first time, and he’s an underdog against challenger Tatsuro Taira (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC).<\/p>\n

The\u00a0fourth episode of “Embedded” follows the featured fighters while they get ready for fight week. Here is the UFC’s description of the episode from YouTube:<\/p>\n

“Joshua Van arrives in Las Vegas for UFC 328 Fight Week; Athletes make their check in rounds at the fighter hotel; Khamzat Chimaev walks the streets of New Jersey; Tatsuro Taira gets in some rounds in the dungeon; Grant Dawson goes face to face with his wife in the arcade; Jared Gordon preps for his fight against veteran Jim Miller; Sean Strickland gets in a late night sparring session.”<\/p>\n
