UFC 328 presser draws 210,000 live viewers, fifth-highest ever

The UFC 328 press conference featuring Khamzat Chimaev vs Sean Strickland attracted 210,000 live viewers on YouTube, making it the fifth most-watched UFC press conference in history. More significantly, it ranks as the most-viewed press conference ever that did not feature Conor McGregor. The viewership trailed only four McGregor events: UFC 229 vs Khabib (505,000), UFC 264 vs Poirier 3 (360,000), UFC 196 vs Diaz (360,000), and UFC 202 vs Diaz 2 (300,000). This exceptional viewership demonstrates the significant drawing power of the Chimaev-Strickland rivalry. The numbers suggest strong fan interest in the upcoming matchup despite neither fighter being McGregor.
