The UFC 328 press conference featuring Khamzat Chimaev versus Sean Strickland attracted 210,000 live viewers on YouTube. This viewership number ranks as the fifth-highest in UFC press conference history and the best for any event not featuring Conor McGregor. The only press conferences with higher live viewership were UFC 229 (Khabib vs McGregor with 505,000), UFC 264 (McGregor vs Poirier 3 with 360,000), UFC 196 (McGregor vs Diaz with 360,000), and UFC 202 (McGregor vs Diaz 2 with 300,000). This demonstrates significant fan interest in the Chimaev-Strickland matchup. The viewership indicates this is one of the most anticipated non-McGregor events in recent UFC history.
