Looks like UFC 327 wasn’t an isolated incident
.Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is two weeks away from its upcoming UFC 328 event, scheduled for Sat., May 9, 2026 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The “Chimaev vs. Strickland” fight card (see it here) will be topped by the middleweight title fight pitting current 185-pound champion Khamzat Chimaev against ex-division titleholder Sean Strickland.
Doesn’t sound like fans are landing on “The Rock.”
Here’s a recent screenshot from Ticketmaster:
The cheapest seat in the worst section is $386.
UFC 328 will also feature flyweight champion Joshua Van defending his title against top contender Tatsuro Taira. Elsewhere on the card, Alexander Volkov and Waldo Cortes-Acosta hook ‘em up in heavyweight action. In addition, Sean Brady locks horns with Joaquin Buckley to stay alive in the 170-pound title chase.
Are those matchups enough to command several hundred dollars in today’s economy?
Not according to these troubling figures.
