Welterweight champion Islam Makhachev will defend his title against top contender Ian Machado Garry at UFC 330 on Aug. 15, the promotion announced Wednesday.
Gillian Robertson will challenge strawweight champion Mackenzie Dern in the co-main event at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.
Makhachev (28-1) is set to defend the 170-pound division title for the first time since scoring a unanimous decision win over Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322 in November 2025. The 34-year-old previously held the lightweight title, successfully defending the belt in four consecutive matches before moving up in weight class. The UFC’s top-ranked pound-for-pound fighter has won 16 straight bouts dating back to his lone defeat in 2015.
