UFC 330: Makhachev and Dern set to defend titles in Philadelphia
Islam Makhachev faces Ian Machado Garry in the main event, while Mackenzie Dern takes on Gillian Robertson in the co-main card.
UFC 330 is scheduled to take place this Saturday at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, featuring two major championship bouts. The event will be broadcast live on Paramount+, which includes access to all UFC numbered events and Fight Nights as part of its subscription service.
In the main event, Islam Makhachev will defend his welterweight title against Ian Machado Garry. Makhachev previously held the lightweight championship, where he recorded four successful title defenses before moving up to the 170-pound division. He captured the welterweight gold by defeating Jack Della Maddalena via a five-round decision last November.
Garry entered the UFC in November 2021 with eight consecutive wins, bringing his record to 15-0 at the time. His undefeated streak ended in December 2024 when he suffered a decision loss to Shavkat Rakhmonov. Garry has since rebounded with two victories to earn this title shot.
The co-main event features Mackenzie Dern defending her women's strawweight title against Gillian Robertson. Dern secured the vacant belt by defeating Virna Jandiroba in October 2025, following a period of inconsistent results that included a 2-3 run. She has since recorded three consecutive wins.
Robertson enters the bout on a five-fight winning streak, presenting a significant challenge to Dern, who is making the first defence of her championship. The event represents a key moment in the careers of both titleholders as they look to solidify their standing in their respective divisions.
