UFC 330 Results: Makhachev and Dern Defend Titles
UFC 330 took place at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia on August 15, 2026. Islam Makhachev defended the welterweight title with a unanimous decision over Ian Machado Garry. The judges scored the five-round main event 49–46, 49–46 and 48–47 for Makhachev, who controlled key stretches with wrestling and grappling.
Mackenzie Dern also retained a championship in the co-main event, defeating Gillian Robertson by unanimous decision. The scorecards were 49–46, 49–46 and 48–47. Robertson had more success late, but Dern had built the advantage over the earlier rounds and secured the official verdict.
The completed card changed the focus of the original fight-week roundup. Makhachev’s medal from the USA Sambo Federation and the fighters’ pre-fight comments were part of the buildup; the results are the lasting record. UFC’s official recap lists both title bouts as decisions and provides the judges’ scores.
Makhachev’s win extended his UFC winning streak and preserved his welterweight title. Dern made the first successful defense of her strawweight championship. Both fights went the full distance, in contrast to several earlier main-card bouts that ended by stoppage. The event took place in Philadelphia, not at the UFC’s Las Vegas venue, and the official UFC page identifies the arena and date.
