Following the controversial UFC 328 main event, media scorecards revealed a near-even split on the outcome. Thirteen of 24 journalists surveyed scored the fight in favor of Khamzat Chimaev, while the remaining 11 sided with the official judges who awarded the victory to Sean Strickland. The close media scoring reflects the competitive nature of the bout and suggests reasonable minds could differ on the outcome. The divided opinion among media members highlights the difficulty judges faced in scoring what was evidently a very close contest between the two middleweights.
