This month, pound-for-pound No 1 Islam Makhachev defends his welterweight title against Ian Machado Garry in the main event of UFC 330.
The bout marks Makhachev’s first defence of the belt, which he won by dominating and outpointing Jack Della Maddalena in November, after giving up the lightweight belt following a record-breaking four successful defences.
And the Russian, 34, faces an intriguing test against the divisive Machado Garry, 28, who enters the fight with just one professional loss to his name.
The Irishman bounced back from that narrow points defeat by Shavkat Rakhmonov with wins over ex-champ Belal Muhammad and Carlos Prates, and he enters UFC 330 full of confidence.
The co-main event pits women’s strawweight champion Mackenzie Dern against Gillian Robertson, as Dern defends the belt for the first time, having been upgraded from interim-title holder. In October, during Zhilei Zhang’s reign atop the division, Dern outpointed Virna Jandiroba to win the interim strap, before Zhang moved up in weight and gave up her title.
