UFC boss Dana White has given his thoughts on the recent press conference antics of the always unpredictable Josh Hokit. Ever since his electric win over Curtis Blaydes, Josh Hokit has been talked about as one of the most interesting rising stars in heavyweight mixed martial arts. He made such an impression, in fact, that Dana White immediately booked him a fight against Derrick Lewis at the UFC Freedom 250 card next month.

The UFC was in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday for a solid UFC 328 fight card that saw two titles on the line. The main event saw Khamzat Chimaev defending his middleweight title against Sean Strickland. The co-main event saw Joshua Van putting his flyweight title on the line against Tatsuro Taira. In the end, it was Strickland who edged out a split decision to pull off a massive upset. Van, meanwhile, scored a TKO win over Taira to defend his flyweight title for the first time. Following UFC 328, here is what I think should be next for the stars of the event.

UFC legend Nate Diaz had a lot to say about Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland after their feud turned 180 degrees at UFC 328. Sean Strickland handed then-UFC middleweight champ Khamzat Chimaev his first-career defeat in an instant classic last Saturday at UFC 328. After months of bad blood boiling between Chimaev and Strickland, the two middleweights were cordial on fight night, despite being just hours removed from hurling personal insults at each other at the pre-fight press conference.

UFC flyweight contender Tatsuro Taira issued a lengthy statement after being on the wrong end of an instant classic at UFC 328. UFC flyweight champion Joshua Van and rising star Tatsuro Taira might’ve been the co-main event at UFC 328, but they both performed as if everything was on the line inside the Octagon.

UFC welterweight contender Sean Brady claims he was confronted by the promotional brass over suspicious betting ahead of UFC 328. One of the highlights of UFC 328 featured welterweight contender Sean Brady returning to the win column with a lopsided win over Joaquin Buckley on the main card. Brady, who returned to the Octagon for the first time since a knockout loss to Michael Morales at UFC 322, smothered Buckley with his elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and shut down the KO artist’s offense on the feet.

It’s safe to say that Cris Cyborg wants to do everything she can to help former rival Gina Carano defeat Ronda Rousey in their upcoming fight. We’re just days away from UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey’s return to the cage after a 10-year hiatus against Gina Carano in a Most Valuable Promotions headliner. Rousey hasn’t fought since suffering back-to-back losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes in the UFC, and seemed destined to never appear in Mixed Martial Arts again.

UFC welterweight contender Sean Brady was left befuddled by Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland’s sportsmanship at UFC 328 after their beef. The UFC 328 grudge match between Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland didn’t disappoint last Saturday in Newark. In a five-round war, Strickland earned a narrow split decision win to reclaim the middleweight throne and hand Chimaev his first-career loss in Mixed Martial Arts.

Joe Rogan wonders if Khamzat Chimaev may have hindered his performance by overbulking. Chimaev was expecting to turn in another dominant showing in the UFC 328 main event, but that didn’t happen. Sean Strickland had an answer for Chimaev’s grappling past the opening frame, and he made the clash in Newark a standup affair. The highly competitive title fight went the distance and Strickland was awarded the unanimous decision win and the UFC middleweight title.

Sean Brady is throwing his name in the hat as a potential opponent for Carlos Prates. Both Brady and Prates are coming off big wins. Brady earned a dominant unanimous decision over Joaquin Buckley at UFC 328 this past Saturday. Prates stopped former UFC Welterweight Champion Jack Della Maddalena in the UFC Perth headliner.

Nassourdine Imavov didn’t expect Sean Strickland to pull off the upset over Khamzat Chimaev. Strickland entered the Prudential Center in Newark this past Saturday in hopes of becoming a two-time UFC Middleweight Champion. He achieved his goal thanks to his solid takedown defense and relentless pace in the standup. While Chimaev also kept up with Strickland throughout the fight, two of the three judges saw the fight in favor of the challenger. Strickland captured the 185-pound gold via split decision.
