Multiple potential fighter confrontations expected during UFC 328 week

Beyond the main event between Sean Strickland and Khamzat Chimaev, several potential confrontations may occur during UFC 328 fight week. Josh Hoquitt, who called out Alex Pereira, is likely to attempt provocation at the press conference where they will both be present. A meeting between Ilia Topuria and Arman Tsarukyan is also very probable, as the White House event press conference will take place right before the UFC 328 ceremonial weigh-ins, and Tsarukyan will be accompanying Chimaev. Security is expected to be on high alert given these potential encounters.
