Summary
DraftKings lists welterweight champion Islam Makhachev as a -340 favorite against Ian Machado Garry at UFC 330, with Garry a +270 underdog ahead of Saturday’s main event in Philadelphia.
Most published picks back Makhachev despite warnings that Garry’s length, movement and takedown defense could make this his toughest recent matchup; Tom Aspinall still sided with the champion.
Makhachev enters on a 16-fight winning streak after winning the lightweight belt in 2022, defending it four times and then taking the welterweight title from Jack Della Maddalena by unanimous decision.
The Aug. 15 card at Xfinity Mobile Arena starts with early prelims at 5:30 p.m. ET, prelims at 7 p.m. and the main card at 9 p.m. on Paramount.
