"UFC 328 is official for Saturday, with all but a single fighter making weight on Friday in Newark, NJ. That lone fighter was Jeremy Stephens, coming in four pounds heavy for his lightweight fight with fellow veteran King Green. Not a good spot for "Lil Heathen" to find himself in, after being defeated by Mason Jones a year ago in his first fight back with the UFC."
"Khamzat Chimaev, putting his title on the line against ex-middleweight champ Sean Strickland, meanwhile, made weight last on Friday. He was on and off the scales quick, leading Strickland to claim that he hadn't made weight at all. The war of words between the two had hit a boiling point during Fight Week, leading to Chimaev throwing a kick at Strickland during the pair's first face-off on Thursday."
