Multiple potential confrontations expected during UFC 328 fight week

Multiple fighter confrontations are anticipated throughout fight week beyond the main event between Strickland and Chimaev. Josh Hawkit, who has called out Alex Pereira, is likely to try provoking Pereira during the week since they will cross paths at the press conference. A meeting between Ilia Topuria and Arman Tsarukyan is also very probable, as the White House event press conference will occur just before the UFC 328 face-offs, and Tsarukyan will be with Khamzat Chimaev's team. Security is expected to be on high alert for these potential interactions.
