Philadelphia is hosting UFC 330 tonight, a 12-bout event headlined by a welterweight title fight between Islam Makhachev and Ian Machado Garry.
Makhachev (28-1 MMA) is set to make his first welterweight title defense. He claimed the 170lb championship in November at UFC 322 with a decisive unanimous decision over Jack Della Maddalena. The Russian fighter boasts a 16-fight winning streak, with previous victories against notable opponents like Renato Moicano, Dustin Poirier, and Alex Volkanovski.
Ian Machado Garry (17-1 MMA) returns to the Octagon for the first time since his unanimous decision win against former champion Belal Muhammad in Qatar last November. Before that, 'The Future' secured an impressive victory over Carlos Prates.
The co-main event at UFC 330 features a women's strawweight title bout 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. The BJJ specialist has won her last three fights, including a submission victory over Amanda Ribas.
Gillian Robertson (17-8 MMA) enters her first UFC title fight on a five-fight winning streak. 'The Savage' most recently won a unanimous decision against Amanda Lemos in March. Prior to that, the Canadian fighter achieved a second-round TKO against Marina Rodriguez.
Also on the UFC 330 main card is a lightweight bout between Jalin Turner and Kauê Fernandes.
