UFC 328 press conference video

UFC 328 held its pre-fight press conference on Thursday, May 7, 2026, marking the first time middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev and challenger Sean Strickland appeared in close proximity ahead of their title fight. Due to the well-documented volatility between the two fighters, the UFC hired extra security and kept them separated from normal pre-fight activities. Chimaev is making his first title defense after defeating Dricus du Plessis in August 2025, while Strickland is competing in his fourth title bout.
