The official fight card for UFC 328: Chimaev vs. Strickland, scheduled for May 9, 2026, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, has been announced

Myktybek Orolbai defeated Chris Curtis by unanimous decision.
💬 Orolbai is now on a three-fight winning streak, while Curtis has a record of 1-3 in his last four bouts.

Dricus du Plessis believes Sean Strickland has "good chances" of defeating Khamzat Chimaev:
💬 "In the striking, Strickland is definitely better than Khamzat. It is incredibly difficult to keep him down on the ground; Strickland is much stronger than many think. I think he has very good chances in this fight."

The matchup between Aljamain Sterling and Youssef Zalal has been added to the UFC Fight Night card, scheduled for April 25.

The current fight card for UFC 327, taking place on April 12, is:

Aleks Volkanovski believes Charles Oliveira's performance might provoke the UFC to get rid of the BMF belt:
💬 "If we start fighting like that, don't be surprised if the BMF belt is taken away. We might not see it anymore. I'm not trying to offend anyone, I'm just saying it's losing its purpose. I'm not trying to throw shade at Charles, but the point of the BMF belt is to reward fighters who go out there and put on spectacular brawls."

Ronda Rousey called the UFC the worst place for fighters today:
💬 "The UFC used to be the best place in combat sports where you could make a living and get paid fairly, but that’s just not the case anymore. Now, it’s one of the worst places you could go. That’s why so many of their top athletes are leaving and looking for money elsewhere. That’s why their champions, like Valentina Shevchenko, are selling photos on OnlyFans, you know?"

O’Malley is impressed that Ilia Topuria managed to knock out Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira.
💬 "It’s crazy that Ilia knocked these guys out so easily. Imagine if he does the same thing to Gaethje. Four knockouts in a row: Alex Volkanovski, Max Holloway, Charles Oliveira, and Justin Gaethje

Ilia Topuria and Islam Makhachev traded barbs on social media:
Ilia Topuria:
"Islam has come up with an excuse. This time, it’s an injury. I always knew I’d be part of the event at the Sphere. Even when the UFC told me at one point they weren't counting on me for this event, I knew it was part of the negotiations. When they finally told me I’d be on the card and mentioned Islam, I didn't hesitate for a second and accepted the fight immediately. Although the fight wasn't officially confirmed yet, the card was set to be announced the next day. But when I woke up, I found out Islam 'got injured.' And then Justin Gaethje appeared. Once again, someone else will pay for Islam's avoidance. And their manager is problematic and unpleasant. Justin, see you there. I’m not the type to humiliate people. It’ll be quick. By the time you wake up, it’ll all be over." Islam Makhachev:
"We both know who is avoiding the fight here. You can mask your behavior with nasty tweets, but don't worry, one day you'll get what you asked for. And your manager doesn't need to ask for billions to fight me—we’ll do it for free."
