Jose Ochoa Wins UFC 328 Opener And Gets On-Air 'Yes' To Proposal

The on-air moment underscored a rebound win for the 25-year-old.

Overview

  • Ochoa, who opened UFC 328 on Saturday in Newark, beat Clayton Carpenter by a lopsided unanimous decision at the Prudential Center.
  • The victory moved his professional record to 9-2 and evened his UFC mark at 2-2.
  • During his post-fight interview with commentator Joe Rogan, he held up a ring and proposed in Portuguese through a translator.
  • He later told MMA Fighting that his girlfriend, who was in Brazil during the broadcast, accepted the proposal.
  • Post-fight interviews in the UFC often produce unscripted personal moments, and proposals have appeared before with mixed outcomes across the sport.
