A detailed analysis praised the UFC 328 press conference between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland for finally delivering meaningful emotion after years of typically bland UFC press events. The analyst noted that Chimaev appeared more fired up than at any time since his fight with Gilbert Burns, actually out-talking the typically vocal Strickland. Security personnel in body armor with weapons were present, adding to the intensity. Strickland was credited for saying to Chimaev's face what he had previously only stated in interviews. Despite the heated exchanges, the analyst remains skeptical of Strickland's chances, suggesting that any discussion of his victory depends more on hypothetical Chimaev failures than Strickland's own skills.
