The highly anticipated UFC flyweight championship bout between current titleholder Joshua Van and challenger Tatsuro Taira has been officially rescheduled. Originally slated for UFC 327 on April 11 in Miami, the thrilling encounter will now unfold at UFC 328 on May 9 in New Jersey.
This major event, UFC 328, is set to be headlined by a compelling UFC middleweight title clash, featuring champion Khamzat Chimaev defending his belt against former champion Sean Strickland. The card will take place in Newark.
While the specific reason for the postponement remains undisclosed by the promotion, the relatively quick rescheduling from April to May is generally seen as a positive development for fans eager to witness this championship showdown.
Joshua Van secured the flyweight championship in December, stepping up after an injury sidelined then-champion Alexandre Pantoja during their clash. The upcoming encounter with Tatsuro Taira will mark Van’s inaugural defense of his newly acquired title.
