UFC 328 live streams feature two titles up for grabs in the Octagon, with middleweights Khamzat Chimaev vs Sean Strickland headlining proceedings after a flyweight title tussle between Joshua Van vs Tatsuro Taira in the co-main event at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on Saturday night.
The impressive Chimaev remains unbeaten throughout his professional MMA career and makes the first defense of the UFC gold he won last August thanks to a unanimous points victory over Dricus du Plessis. With the often controversial 'Tarzan' Strickland having made his debut Octagon appearance more than 12 years ago, however, Chimaev comes up against a Californian fighter who has a wealth of know-how, tradecraft and experience of winning this championship before.
'The Fearless' Van is another star making his first title defense. There was an element of good fortune that saw him injure Alexandre Pantoja's arm at UFC 323 in just 26 seconds and take the Brazilian's flyweight strap. That won't bother Van, who became the second-youngest champion in UFC history in the process. Many fancy that Taira has a good shot to take the title following his devastating TKO of Brandon Moreno at the same event. In doing so he would create his own slice of history – Japan's first ever UFC champ.
Here's where to watch UFC 328 live streams online and from anywhere with a VPN – including a clever way to watch UFC 328 for just $1.
