Islam Makhachev puts his UFC welterweight title on the line against Ian Machado Garry at UFC 330. The event takes place at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday, and streams live on Paramount+.
Makhachev vs. Machado Garry is another chapter in the Dagestan vs. Ireland rivalry. However, there is no personal animosity between them like there was when Khabib Nurmagomedov faced Conor McGregor.
Makhachev enters the main event aiming to make his first successful welterweight title defense. He won the title after earning a dominant unanimous decision win victory over Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322.
Machado Garry, meanwhile, has plenty of momentum behind him. He enters the main event after two straight unanimous decision wins over Carlos Prates and former welterweight champion Belal Muhammad.
Despite competing primarily at lightweight, Makhachev enters as the betting favorite to retain his title.
