UFC 330 goes down this Saturday from Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Two title fights top the card, with Ian Machado Garry challenging for Islam Makhachev's welterweight title and Mackenzie Dern defending the women's strawweight championship against Gillian Robertson. Makhachev, the pupil of former lightweight champion and UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov, has built one of the best resumes of the modern era.
A win on Saturday not only marks the first defense of his second divisional title, but it would break the record for most consecutive UFC victories held by Anderson Silva at 16. The native of Dagestan has been a wrecking ball to the elite of the sport, taking out Alexander Volkanovski twice as well as Charles Oliveira. He earned the welterweight crown with a dominant showing against Jack Della Maddalena.
Garry burst onto the UFC scene in November 2021, winning eight consecutive fights to run his career record to 15-0. Garry then suffered the first loss of his professional career when he dropped a December 2024 decision to Shavkat Rakhmonov. Garry has since rebounded with a pair of wins to receive a shot at the belt. red event and UFC Fight Night is included with your subscription!
Plans start as low as $8.99/month or $89.99/year! Dern is also making the first defense of her title. Dern defeated Virna Jandiroba in October 2025, capturing the vacant championship after a turbulent career full of ups and downs.
Robertson also had some rocky moments early in her UFC career, but she enters Saturday riding a five-fight winning streak that has earned her an opportunity to capture UFC gold for the first time in her career.
