upcoming UFC
UFC 328
Sat, May 9, 2026 · Prudential Center, Newark, NJ
NOTES
Chimaev vs Strickland headlines; Taira vs Van flyweight title co-main (moved from UFC 327 due to Van injury). Taira 18-1, 10 subs — most grappling-dependent title challenger in years. Sean Brady (BJJ black belt, pressure grappler) vs Joaquin Buckley (KO artist) moved up from UFC Vegas 116 — classic grappler vs striker stylistic clash. UPDATE Apr 18: Jan Blachowicz OUT (torn meniscus sparring) of Bogdan Guskov rematch on featured prelim — UFC offered slot to Polish LHW Iwo Baraniewski. Camp footage leaked Apr 14 shows Chimaev dominating top-5 Brendan Allen on the ground; Strickland-camp "snitch" called sparring between the two "wasn't competitive." Expected grappling-heavy fight.
