Summary
All 24 fighters made weight for Saturday’s UFC 330 in Philadelphia, officially locking in two title bouts led by Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Machado Garry at 170 pounds.
Makhachev and Garry both hit 170 for the main event, while strawweight champion Mackenzie Dern and challenger Gillian Robertson both came in at 115.
A 17th straight victory would give Makhachev the longest winning streak in UFC history, breaking Anderson Silva’s record, while also making him one of the few fighters to defend titles in two divisions.
Michael Morales also weighed 170 as the backup for the main event, and Chidi Njokuani was the only scare—initially 171.5 before making 171 on a second attempt for his non-title bout.
After every fighter cleared weigh-ins and a late replacement reshaped one bout, which hidden storyline could steal UFC 330 in Philadelphia?
With Mackenzie Dern and Gillian Robertson both on weight, will UFC 330’s co-main become a grappling chess match or a breakout title statement?
Does Islam Makhachev’s successful weigh-in set up a legacy-defining welterweight defense, or is Ian Machado Garry the style threat that changes everything?
