UFC 330: Makhachev vs. Garry - Live Results and Highlights

UFC 330 is set to take place in Philadelphia, featuring a compelling 12-bout fight card. The main event will see Islam Makhachev defend his welterweight title against Ian Machado Garry.

Makhachev, with a professional MMA record of 28-1, aims for his first successful welterweight title defense. He secured the championship in November at UFC 322 with a decisive unanimous decision victory over Jack Della Maddalena. The Russian fighter enters this bout on a remarkable 16-fight winning streak, with notable wins against Renato Moicano, Dustin Poirier, and Alex Volkanovski.

Ian Machado Garry (17-1 MMA) makes his return to the Octagon for the first time since his unanimous decision win against former champion Belal Muhammad in November. Prior to that, 'The Future' impressed with a victory over Carlos Prates.

The co-main event of UFC 330 will feature a women's strawweight title fight between Mackenzie Dern and Gillian Robertson.

Dern (16-5 MMA) is competing for the first time since winning the vacant strawweight world title in October at UFC 321. She has won her last three Octagon appearances, including a submission victory over Amanda Ribas.

Gillian Robertson (17-8 MMA) will be participating in her first UFC title fight, carrying a five-fight winning streak. 'The Savage' most recently secured a unanimous decision win against Amanda Lemos in March. Before that, she achieved a second-round TKO victory over Marina Rodriguez.

The UFC 330 main card also includes a lightweight bout between Jalin Turner and Kauê Fernandes.

Turner (15-9 MMA) is returning after a first-round TKO win against Edson Barboza at UFC 323 in December. This victory ended a two-fight losing streak for 'The Tarantula,' who had previously been stopped by Renato Moicano and Ignacio Bahamondes.

Kauê Fernandes (11-2 MMA) enters this fight on a three-bout winning streak, with his last win a first-round TKO against Harry Hardwick in September. The Brazilian has a 3-1 record since joining the UFC in November 2023.

Opening the main card will be a lightweight clash between Edson Barboza and Esteban Ribovics.

Barboza (24-14 MMA) seeks to end a three-fight losing streak. The veteran, aged 40, has most recently lost to Jalin Turner, Drakkar Klose, and Lerone Murphy. His last victory was in October 2023, when he defeated Sodiq Yusuff in a Fight of the Night performance.

Esteban Ribovics (15-3 MMA) last competed in April, suffering a submission loss to Mateusz Gamrot. Before that, 'El Gringo' earned a unanimous decision win over Elves Brener.
