On the sixth episode of UFC 328 "Embedded," take a look at Khamzat Chimaev's weight cut before his controversial weigh-in.

UFC 328 is here, and the action is heating up both inside and outside the Octagon. The latest episode of the popular "Embedded" fight week series gives fans an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the final preparations before Saturday's massive event at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

All eyes are on the main event: a middleweight title clash between champion Khamzat Chimaev (15-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) and former champ Sean Strickland (30-7 MMA, 17-7 UFC). The tension has been palpable all week, with threats of violence spilling beyond typical fight promotion—adding an extra layer of drama to an already anticipated showdown.

In Episode 6, viewers get a rare glimpse into Chimaev's weight cut, which has been a topic of controversy leading up to his weigh-in. The footage shows the undefeated star shedding his last few pounds surrounded by his entourage, followed by a well-earned pasta meal. Meanwhile, Strickland kicks off his own weight cut while recapping the explosive press conference that had fans buzzing.

But the episode isn't just about the headliners. In the co-main event, flyweight champion Joshua Van (16-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) prepares to defend his title for the first time against underdog challenger Tatsuro Taira (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC). Heavyweight contender Alexander Volkov enjoys a steak dinner—a perk of fighting in a heavier division—while welterweight Sean Brady hits the sauna with his daughter watching nearby.

The episode culminates with the ceremonial weigh-ins, where fighters face off one last time before Saturday's bouts. It's the perfect appetizer for what promises to be a thrilling night of fights.

Whether you're tracking Chimaev's weight cut or just soaking in the fight week vibes, this episode captures the intensity and camaraderie that makes UFC events unforgettable. Don't miss the action—gear up for fight night with the latest in performance apparel and show your support for your favorite fighters.
