Ateba Gautier is set to face rebooked opponent Ozzy Diaz on the UFC 328 prelims at Prudential Center in Newark, a matchup that gives Gautier a chance to keep building a streak that has already reached double figures in sight.
The event is branded Chimaev vs Strickland, and Gautier’s bout sits alongside a main card that also lists Ateba Gautier vs Osman Diaz as a middleweight fight, a detail that underscores how much of the card is being built around familiar names and repeat pairings. UFC 328 will also feature Khamzat Chimaev vs Sean Strickland in a middleweight bout, Alexander Volkov vs Waldo-Cortes Acosta in heavyweight, Sean Brady vs Joaquin Buckley at welterweight, King Green vs Jeremy Stephens at lightweight, Joel Alvarez vs Yaroslav Amosov at welterweight, Grant Dawson vs Mateusz Rebecki at lightweight, Jim Miller vs Jared Gordon at lightweight, Roman Kopylov vs Marco Tulio at middleweight and Pat Sabatini vs William Gomis at featherweight.
For viewers in the UK, TNT Sports will carry the card, with streaming available through the TNT Sports website and HBO Max. In the USA, Paramount will air the event, with streaming available via Paramount+ and UFC Fight Pass.
The rebooking matters because it restores a bout the source presents as having been reshuffled before fight night, and it lands on a card that is already dense with ranked-style matchups and veterans. That leaves Gautier with a straightforward task: handle Diaz, preserve the run, and leave Newark still heading in the right direction.
