    Watch the UFC 328: Khamzat Chimaev vs. Sean Strickland Weigh-Ins

    We are now just one day shy of UFC 328, which will see the highly intense middleweight title fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland. Get the latest from all of today’s weigh-ins in New Jersey here with MMANews!

    This will be the first title defense for Chimaev, who has been seemingly unstoppable since he arrived in the UFC in 2020. Chimaev defeated Dricus Du Plessis to win the middleweight title at UFC 319 last August.

    Strickland comes into this title fight off his finish of Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez at UFC Houston three months ago. Strickland upset Israel Adesanya for the middleweight title at UFC 293 but dropped the belt to Du Plessis at UFC 297. Strickland lost again to DDP in a championship rematch at UFC 312.

    The co-main event will also have gold at stake when Joshua Van defends the UFC flyweight championship against Tatsuro Taira.

    Van had a memorable 2025, culminating in him defeating Alexandre Pantoja via injury to become the champion at UFC 323 this past December. The one-loss Taira, meanwhile, earned this title shot by finishing former champion Brandon Moreno at UFC 323.

    We’re 24 hours away from UFC 322, and MMA News is here to bring you the video from the ceremonial weigh-ins for the card!

    UFC 322 takes place on November 15 from Madison Square Garden in New York City.

    The main event will see Jack Della Maddalena defend the UFC welterweight championship against Islam Makhachev. This marks JDM’s first title defense since defeating Belal Muhammad for the gold at UFC 315. Makachev moves up to welterweight after a run as lightweight champion, which began with a win over Charles Oliveira and contained successful defenses against Alexander Volkanovski, Dustin Poirier, and Renato Moicano.

    The co-main event will see the top two UFC female fighters in action, as Valentina Shevchenko defends the UFC women’s flyweight championship against Weili Zhang. Shevchenko, in her second run as champion of the division she has dominated since 2018, retained the championship against Manon Fiorot at UFC 315. Zhang, meanwhile, moves up to 125 after two title runs at strawweight. Her second reign began with a win over Carla Esparza and saw defenses against Amanda Lemos, Yan Xiaonan, and Tatiana Suarez.

    The rest of the main card sees welterweight action between Sean Brady and Michael Morales, a welterweight showdown featuring former champion Leon Edwards and rising contender Carlos Prates, and a lightweight battle that sees Beneil Dariush pitted against Benoit Saint-Denis.

    Though Dariush missed weight for his fight, all bouts appear ready to move forward to UFC 321!

    The ceremonial weigh-ins present the last opportunity for opponents to face off before they meet inside the Octagon. Check them out below via the UFC’s official YouTube channel!

    UFC 322: Jack Della Maddalena vs. Islam Makhachev Full Weigh-In Results: One Main Card Fighter Misses Weight

    We are just one day away from UFC 322, and we’ve got the official weigh-in results for you here at MMA News.

    UFC 322 takes place from Madison Square Garden in New York City, featuring a number of noteworthy names topped off with two highly anticipated title fights.

    The main event will see Jack Della Maddalena defend the UFC welterweight championship against Islam Makhachev.

    This will mark JDM’s first title defense since capturing the gold with a decision win over Belal Muhammad at UFC 315 in May. Della Maddalena has won 18 fights in a row and has a perfect Octagon record, having not dropped a fight since losing his first two pro outings.

    The one-loss Makhachev is the former UFC lightweight champion. He defeated Charles Oliveira for the title at UFC 280 and has since retained the belt against Alexander Volkanovski, Dustin Poirier, and Renato Moicano. He vacated the belt to move up to 170.

    The co-main event will see the top two UFC pound-for-pound female fighters clash, as Valentina Shevchenko puts the women’s flyweight title on the line against Weili Zhang.

    Shevchenko has been a mainstay in the division since moving there from bantamweight in 2018, becoming a two-time champion in the process. After losing and regaining the gold in her trilogy with Alexa Grasso, Shevchenko retained the title against Manon Fiorot at UFC 315. Zhang is a two-time former strawweight champion. Her second reign began at UFC 281, and she went on to retain against Amanda Lemos, Yan Xiaonan, and Tatiana Suarez.

    The rest of the main card sees welterweight contenders Sean Brady and Michael Morales in battle, as well as former welterweight champion Leon Edwards being putting up against Carlos Prates and lightweight action featuring Beneil Dariush and Benoit Saint-Denis.

    UFC 320: Magomed Ankalaev vs. Alex Pereira 2 Full Weigh-In Results: One Fighter Misses Weight

    We are just one day away from UFC 320, and we’ve got the official weigh-in results for you here at MMA News.

    UFC 320 takes place from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring a number of noteworthy names topped off with two title fights.

    The main event will feature a light heavyweight championship rematch between Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira. The two first met at UFC 313 in March, with Ankalaev completely stopping Pereira’s offense over 25 minutes to win the belt.

    Ankalaev has won three straight and has not suffered a loss since dropping his UFC debut against Paul Craig in March 2018.

    Pereira originally won the light heavyweight title by defeating Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295. He retained the gold three times, defeating Jamahal Hill at UFC 300, Prochazka in a short-notice rematch at UFC 303, and Khalil Rountree Jr. at UFC 307.

    Gold will also be on the line in the co-main event, as Merab Dvalishvili defends the bantamweight title against Cory Sandhagen. Dvalishvili won the belt at Noche UFC 2: UFC 306 in September 2024, defeating Sean O’Malley by decision. He retained the belt against Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 311 in January and against O’Malley in a rematch at UFC 316 in June. Sandhagen has won four of his last five, earning this title shot with his finish of Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC Des Moines in May.

    The main card will also feature Prochazka and Rountree Jr. in another light heavyweight clash, a featherweight fight featuring Josh Emmett and Youssef Zalal, and a middleweight matchup that sees Abus Magomedov take on Joe Pyfer.
