UFC 330 Pre-Fight Press Conference Live Stream: Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Machado Garry

UFC 330 is just a few days away, and the event’s official pre-fight press conference is scheduled to go down tonight at the Xfinity Mobile Arena.

Following on a from a fairly low-profile UFC Vegas 120 event that kicked off August, the UFC makes its long-awaited return to Philadelphia, PA this week after nearly 10 years away.

The main event will see former UFC lightweight titleholder Islam Makhachev kick off his welterweight title reign against Ian Machado Garry, and UFC gold will also be on the line in the co-main event when Gillian Robertson challenges UFC Strawweight Champion Mackenzie Dern.

Islam Makhachev Could Make History at UFC 330

After dominating Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322 to bring his current win streak to 17 fights, Makhachev has the chance to surpass Anderson Silva’s record for consecutive UFC wins when he meets Machado Garry in Philadelphia.

The 34-year-old’s decision to move up a division came following a lengthy lightweight title reign that began in 2022 and saw him successfully defend his belt on four different occasions, with the last three wins all coming via finish.

Machado Garry will look to play spoiler at UFC 330, and the Irishman finds himself as a nearly 3-1 underdog on some books as he comes into his first UFC title fight following unanimous decisions over Carlos Prates and former welterweight titleholder Belal Muhammad.

Mackenzie Dern Opens UFC Title Reign Against Gillian Robertson

Although she didn’t previously hold a UFC belt in another division like Makhachev, Dern will also open her reign with the UFC strawweight title when she fights in the co-main event of UFC 330.

The 33-year-old is currently one victory shy of matching the four-fight win streak that stands as the best run of her UFC career, and she’s been out of action for nearly a year after winning the vacant strawweight belt against Virna Jandiroba at UFC 321.

Robertson comes into her first championship opportunity on the best stretch of her own UFC career, as the Canadian is unbeaten dating back to 2024 and won five-straight fights to secure her shot at UFC gold.
