UFC 330 is taking shape ahead of the promotion’s eagerly anticipated return to Philadelphia.
On Wednesday, Dana White announced that Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Machado Garry will headline at the Xfinity Mobile Arena on August 15.
The UFC CEO also revealed that Mackenzie Dern‘s first strawweight title defense against Gillian Robertson will back up the welterweight main event.

Top flyweights set to collide at UFC 330
Valentina Shevchenko will have one eye on the third fight officially confirmed for UFC 330.
Top flyweights Erin Blanchfield and Jasmine Jasudavicius will face off in a potential title eliminator.
An impressive win could put Blanchfield or Jasudavicius in the conversation to be the opponent for Shevchenko’s next 125lb title defense.
Blanchfield has picked up back-to-back wins over Tracy Cortez and Rose Namajunas since suffering her first UFC loss against Manon Fiorot in March 2024.
The #4-ranked flyweight contender’s next opponent also fell short when she fought Fiorot last October.
Jasudavicius has rebounded from being knocked out in one round to beat Karine Silva and established herself at #6 in the 125lb rankings.
Have any other fights been linked to UFC 330?
Dana White and his matchmaking team still have a lot of work to do to build out UFC 330.
Besides the three fights discussed above, just two matchups have been linked to Islam Makhachev‘s latest card.
See below for the short but action-packed list of fights that are expected to go down at UFC 330.
