The octagon is set for an explosive night as UFC 328 descends upon the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, streaming exclusively on Paramount+. This Saturday, May 9, 2026, fight fans are in for a treat with what's shaping up to be the most stacked card of the Paramount+ era.
In the main event, all eyes are on the middleweight championship as Khamzat Chimaev takes on Sean Strickland. Chimaev, one of the sport's most electrifying talents, has shown flashes of dominance that could redefine the division. Strickland, fresh off a masterclass performance in his last outing, is known for rising to the occasion when the stakes are highest. While Chimaev enters as the heavy favorite, Strickland has proven he can flip the script when it counts.
The co-main event features a flyweight title clash as Joshua Van defends his belt against Tatsuro Taira. Van's championship reign began under unusual circumstances after former champion Alexandre Pantoja suffered a freak injury early in their fight. Taira, coming off a dominant win over Brandon Moreno, is favored thanks to his world-class grappling that could pose serious problems for Van.
The main card is loaded with must-see matchups. Alexander Volkov faces Waldo Cortes-Acosta in a heavyweight showdown that could produce the next title contender, once the division's political landscape settles. King Green takes on Jeremy Stephens in what promises to be a striking clinic, while Sean Brady battles Joaquin Buckley in a welterweight clash that could shake up the rankings.
But the action doesn't stop there. The preliminary card is stacked with fan favorites and rising stars. Jim Miller, the UFC's all-time wins leader, steps into the octagon against Jared Gordon. Grant Dawson looks to continue his climb against Mateusz Rebecki, while Joel Alvarez and Yaroslav Amosov collide in a lightweight bout that could steal the show. Ateba Gautier rounds out the prelims against Ozzy Diaz.
The late preliminary fights kick off at 7 p.m. ET, with the main card following later in the evening. All the action streams exclusively on Paramount+, so grab your gear, settle in, and get ready for a night of unforgettable fights.
