What happened: Ariel Helwani, Petesy Carroll, Chuck Mindenhall, and Ben Fowlkes are live for the Uncrowned UFC 328 Post-Fight Show to recap a monumental night of action. The broadcast focuses on Sean Strickland's split-decision victory over Khamzat Chimaev and Joshua Van's successful flyweight title defense.

Why it matters: Strickland's win makes him a two-time champion and hands Chimaev his first career defeat, throwing the middleweight rankings into flux. The crew also examines the future of the flyweight division, where Helwani has already identified Alexandre Pantoja as Joshua Van's next likely challenger.

By the numbers: UFC 328 Results: Strickland def. Chimaev (SD; 48-47, 47-48, 48-47); Van def. Taira (TKO, R5); Volkov def. Cortes-Acosta (UD); Brady def. Buckley (UD). Venue: Prudential Center, Newark.

What to watch: The panel will outline the landscape for the next quarter of UFC title matchups. Discussion will also touch on the rising stock of Ateba Gautier after his latest power display.
