Khamzat Chimaev Kicks Sean Strickland at UFC 328 Press Conference
- Tensions between middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland boiled over Thursday when Chimaev kicked Strickland during a promotional stare-down ahead of UFC 328 in Newark, New Jersey.

- With UFC security and Newark police on stage, Chimaev and Strickland stared each other down briefly before the physical altercation occurred, despite UFC CEO Dana White standing between them.
- Strickland appeared to avoid injury during the incident, though it remains unclear whether the New Jersey Athletic Control Board will seek to punish Chimaev.
- Chimaev and Strickland will finally lock horns inside the Octagon at the Prudential Center this Saturday to settle their long-standing grudge match for the 185-pound belt.
