Description

The UFC returns to the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, for a massive championship doubleheader. The primary challenge for undefeated middleweight champion Khamzat "Borz" Chimaev is making his first title defense against the unorthodox and durable former champion Sean Strickland. The objective for Chimaev is to extend his perfect 15-0 record and prove his dominance over the 185-pound division, while the goal for Strickland is to reclaim the gold by handing the champion his first career defeat.

Strategically, the goal for Chimaev is to utilize his elite wrestling and "mauling" style to neutralize Strickland’s volume striking and world-class jab. The tactical focus for Strickland centers on his defensive grappling and relentless cardio, aiming to drag the champion into deep water during the championship rounds. In the co-main event, the mission for newly-crowned flyweight king Joshua Van is to defend his title against the surging Japanese star Tatsuro Taira. With a card featuring veterans like Jim Miller and heavy hitters like Alexander Volkov, the ultimate goal of the night is to solidify the hierarchy of the middleweight and flyweight divisions.
