UFC president Dana White announced multiple main events on Thursday, including the blockbuster middleweight title fight between champion Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland headlining UFC 328 on May 9 in Newark. This matchup pits the unbeaten grappling phenom against the former champ's striking prowess, potentially reshaping the 185-pound division amid Chimaev's dominance. Additional bookings include Arnold Allen vs. Melquizael Costa headlining May 16 in Las Vegas, impacting featherweight rankings, and Song Yadong vs. Deiveson Figueiredo on May 30 in Macau for bantamweight momentum. Co-mains like Kyler Phillips vs. Charles Jourdain on April 18 in Winnipeg were also set. Expect title implications and rising stars to solidify the mid-2026 calendar.
