Tonight’s UFC 330 headline bout is sure to be cracker as Islam Makhachev defends his welterweight crown for the first time, against Ian Machado Garry. Pound-for-pound king Makhachev is one win from a 17th straight UFC victory, a record, but Irishman Garry is desperate to live up to his nickname The Future.
Makhachev hasn’t lost since a first-round knockout by Adriano Martins in October 2015 and in that 16-fight winning run the Dagestan 34-year-old has established himself as one of the most fearsome opponents in the UFC. Makhachev became the 11th two-weight champion in UFC history last time out with a fifth-round stoppage of Jack Della Maddalena in which his grappling ability was again to the fore.
Machado Garry has rebuilt impressively after losing a grapple-heavy bout to Shavkat Rakhmonov in December 2024, scoring back-to-back victories against Carlos Prates and Belal Muhammad. The 28-year-old was competitive in that sole defeat on his resume, and has rightly talked up his excellent striking in the build-up, but facing Makhachev’s grappling is another question entirely. He’ll start as a wide underdog, but that’s just how the Irishman likes it.
That’s the main event of a stacked card in which Mackenzie Dern defends her women’s straightweight crown against Gillian Robertson.
Here’s where to watch UFC 330 live streams online and from anywhere with a VPN – including a clever way to watch UFC 330 for just $1.
How to watch UFC 330 live stream in the US
Exclusive US coverage of the full UFC 330 event is on Paramount Plus. It’s being headlined by Conor McGregor vs Max Holloway 2, which is expected to start at around 11pm ET / 8pm PT.
