Who wins in the main event of UFC 328 on May 9?

Sean Strickland and Khamzat Chimaev finally get the chance to settle their bitter feud at Prudential Center, can the American beat the champ?

jeromeynwahector974mo ago

Call it what u want he puts up a big show before the fight im gonna kill him blah blah blah then proceeds to hug opponent dont make as if u gona fight yet u play huggy bear lmao

harvey.leonard4mo ago

Think the same can be said for Strickland in a different way. Before the Hernandez fight he was pretty much known for talking a big game and then point-fighting

reyokss4mo ago

Chimaev defnitely.No doubt whatsoever ever.Nit a chance in hell.This is a committed fighter who through Ddp around like a rag doll.Come on.im South African I know we had a great champion but Chimaev fight I realized the the levels are different.

tecwzrd4mo ago

Must be snowing in hell now.

kyle.dimond4mo ago

DDP was able to get takedowns on Sean as well. Different matchup of course but still, concerning

pvadodaria5mo ago

I don't care who wins, but just please don't turn this into Kape vs Mokaev 2.0.

henryosorio5575mo ago

i think it maybe closer than everyone thinks. Strickland has cardio for days. So what happens when K.C gets tired of all those takedowns? Strickland might have a bigger chance than expected ?

kyle.dimond4mo ago

It's just whether Strickland can survive the early rounds and make Chimaev work enough to be actually be able to capitalize in those later rounds by making him tired.

tcrispy3335mo ago

He will Borz the crowd with his crucifix hold. Hopefully Sean will get the belt again 🤞

moearzani5mo ago

No brainer. Zendebad Chechnya

rwilson414zz5mo ago

Chim will tie him a knot.

vpmkcnnd595mo ago

Calling what Strickland does basic is not wrong but it’s dismissive of an extremely effective style that Sean does better than any other UFC fighter today. Khamzat is basic af. He has one move. Take down and slap and tickle his opponent until time runs out. The strike stat with DDP was a joke. Khamzat the best holder downer in the UFC but wait 4 Gable!

jsmith2010755mo ago

I would like to see Sean win however khamzat is just to dominating on the ground. His wrestling is just so good that it is over for sean

vpmkcnnd595mo ago

Your take is as boring and lacking in style and risk as Chimaev’s vanilla fight plan. I’m bored by both of you which seems mean to say and well… yes it is a little mean. So?

cloveless5565mo ago

Strickland will surprise as underdog

jdzavrat5mo ago

Khamzat, in whatever way he chooses.

pvadodaria5mo ago

On the feet, he's like a fish on land, so its not going to go his way on the feet. Similarly, If Sean gets on the ground, he's also like a fish out of the water, so both fighters weaknesses are the opponents strengths.

dbhagat5mo ago

Khamzat will destroy him.

vpmkcnnd595mo ago

If by destroy you mean hold down while boring everyone to tears then yes he will destroy him🙄

wrongstrong1015mo ago

Sean Strickland is a beast chimaev is a monster. I'm actually very worried for Sean in this fight if khamzat makes weight

vpmkcnnd595mo ago

Why He doesn’t cause damage almost ever. Whittaker was a fluke. He wins decisions without hurting anyone

workinghard00095mo ago

Can someone please help me get a hold of the ufc. I would like to talk to Dana White about helping donate some help for my ex's wife I know we're not together but she's the mother of my children and she's trying to fight cancer. Am not asking for a hand out I'll even fight for it like fighting against a old bully for a trust fun thing. Am not sure how to do

vpmkcnnd595mo ago

Seek out their social media links and send DMs. You need a hook and a better pitch. Desperation isn’t gonna cut it. Millions die from Cancer so why is she special? Seriously that’s what u need to find a hook. Pathos is powerful good luck god bless

szalasrob5mo ago

I thinking it's going to go the distance and an upset, Strickland.

pvadodaria5mo ago

Strickland, since Khamzat might just miss weight he has a bad record with weight misses.

trentsr.starr5mo ago

Not at MW, at WW he did. He's not that big that he'll miss 185.

madpaddy315mo ago

All the people moaning about fighters that wrestle 🤔, it's literally in the name.. Mixed martial arts, MMA without ground fighting is called Boxing, if you don't like ground fighting then you're not an MMA fan simple as that...

devmike5mo ago

Looks like a quick night for both of them, Strickland isn't even close to as rounded as Whittaker who only lasted 20s in the ring with that animal Borz.

angmaraboli6mo ago

Strickland

conniekme6mo ago

I don't like watching chimaev s fight, he like man handling too much

madpaddy315mo ago

🤣😂🤣

markfilmore6mo ago

I would like to see chimaev do more on the feet fighting...but sadly he will wrestle poor Shawn for 5 rounds...like Oliveira did Max.

arocco69815mo ago

Fighter’s are a lot more cautious these days. They would rather win in a boring fight than take risks making it a very exciting fight but losing. I get a champ not risking but even new guys play it 2 safe

danpeacock6mo ago

I think Strickland can do it!

harvey.leonard5mo ago

What is his route to victory?

hsultani8946mo ago

Just khamza chimaev the wolf🐺

bcsboomstick19745mo ago

Wolves cause damage. They bite they don’t lay on their pray and not take chances

augustinejtrujillo6mo ago

I'm hoping Sean Strickland, but I am not putting money on it.

bcsboomstick19745mo ago

You should. Strickland will win you $330 for a $100 bet. . He’s an experienced fighter with championship pedigree. The moment won’t be to big for him. It’s one of the best value bets you’ll ever see in a championship fight. Besides wouldn’t it be great to be the guy that bet on Sean and won?! How good does that look?! Calling everyone casuals and idiots! I’m

markfilmore6mo ago

Facts lol, it would be good if chameav doesn't wrestle him for most of the fight

adamsbezerra16mo ago

Hamzat

johnmcaulay1416mo ago

Never count out Sean Strickland , these two guys have been fighting each other sparring and Sean‘s not scared of Khamzat there’s a reason why Borz hasn’t defended his title. Just saying!

dr.cheyno5mo ago

Yeah, if Strickland can actually survive Khamzats take downs (Which is a big if) you could see Strickland's cardio coming into play. Khamzat has gassed himself out a few times in the past.

asi.solutions.stl6mo ago

Hopefully Khamzat. Strickland needs to disappear.

blizzowjoe6mo ago

For a small fee I know someone who knows someone who works off donations 😁

kufandadatendai186mo ago

Strickland will shock you again 🤞🏾

arocco69815mo ago

I have a weird feeling you are right, I had the same similar weird feeling that Holyfield would beat Tyson in their first fight, then again I had a feeling Tyson was going to destroy him in the rematch.(I guess in a way I was right Tyson did literally remove a piece of Holyfield’s body 🤷‍♂️ just don’t place any bets on my feelings when it comes to sports.

jamie.theodosi6mo ago

Strickland has almost 0% chance of winning this fight. He simply only has a chance if he somehow keeps it on the feet and gasses Khamzat out, which isn't happening.

tylerbaumbaugh6mo ago

Chimaev 3rd submission.

billjemanuel6mo ago

The Boogie Man aka Borz

philosopher11306mo ago

Borz sadly wins this the same way as all his other fights. Shoot for the TD within the first 2 seconds & then keep the fight there no matter what. Also, DDP needs to shut up. Dude is coping HARD. Saying how Borz is only “10% better in mma” & that he’d win the rematch after he literally dominated DDP in every way for every minute of that fight 😂

harvey.leonard6mo ago

Big fan of DDP but I feel the same. We see it far too often. Once dominated like he was, I wish they'd just stay quiet and wait to prove themselves in the cage rather than making wild claims like that.

rickyrockits6mo ago

Strickland rd 4 tko

harvey.leonard6mo ago

Bold prediction

2001elvispresley6mo ago

Strickland round 2 🦁

harvey.leonard6mo ago

I will have to re-think everything I know about MMA if Strickland is the one to KO Chimaev, and in the first two rounds no less

mykalhenry6mo ago

Decision at best if he can win at all. Round 2? Cut it out...

jamie.theodosi6mo ago

Chimaev without a shadow of a doubt

kyle.dimond6mo ago

Chimaev but I'm nowhere near as sure as I thought I would be.

billjemanuel6mo ago

Chimaev. Strickland is all talk, Borz will toss his ass around the ring like a rag doll.

harvey.leonard6mo ago

I can't remember the last time I predicted Strickland to win a fight. Proved me wrong in Houston, but Chimaev has this

jassyptvftw6mo ago

Chimaev💪🏾🔥

harvey.leonard6mo ago

Decision or finish?
