UFC 328 start time, undercard and how to watch fight tonight

Khamzat Chimaev’s grudge match with Sean Strickland follows Joshua Van’s title defence versus Tatsuro Taira
UFC 328 culminates in a title-fight double-header tonight, as Khamzat Chimaev and Joshua Van defend their belts in Newark, New Jersey .

In the main event, Chimaev puts the middleweight title on the line for the first time, taking on former champion Sean Strickland after a tense build-up , which spilled over into violence at Thursday’s press conference .

The unbeaten Chimaev is a comfortable favourite here, having dominated Dricus Du Plessis to win the belt in August, after “DDP” twice outpointed Strickland.

And in the co-main event, Van makes his first defence of the flyweight strap, as he defends it against Tatsuro Taira – five months after winning the belt in unique circumstances, when Alexandre Pantoja suffered an injury early into their fight.

The early prelims will begin at 10pm BST (2pm PT / 4pm CT / 5pm ET), with the regular prelims following at 12am BST on Sunday (4pm PT / 6pm CT / 7pm ET on Saturday).

The main card will ensue at 2am BST on Sunday (6pm PT / 8pm CT / 9pm ET on Saturday).

In the UK , the main card will air live on TNT Sports and is also accessible via HBO Max, EE TV, Virgin Media, Amazon Prime Video, and Sky Sports; beforehand, the early and regular prelims will stream live on UFC Fight Pass.

In the US , Paramount+ will stream the action.
