UFC 330 - Makhachev-GarryCredit: GettyThe UFC 330 main card isn't necessarily blowing fans away on paper, but the main event features one of the sport's most dominant champions, Islam Makhachev against the mercurial but talented Ian Machado Garry. After what we saw Justin Gaethje do to Ilia Topuria, we have to wonder if 2026 is the year for upsets? Also, UFC 330 has already lost a fight with the Erin Blanchfield Jasmine Jasudavicius fight falling off. Here's your one-stop shop for all things UFC 330.

To put it plainly, Garry’s takedown defense must be at a supreme level if he’s going to have a chance in this one. He’ll have a brief window in stand-up, but the moment he lands anything or appears to have any advantage on the feet, the champion, whom Demetrious Johnson called a “Nasty Monster” will look for the takedown. If Garry gets taken down, he's got to get up. If Makhachev can maintain top control, this will get ugly.Belal Muhammad went the full fifteen with Garry in November and failed on all seven takedown attempts, out of the same camp as the champion.What's The Co-Main Event And Is It A Good Fight?Dern-Robertson is perhaps the least-celebrated world title fight so far this year. However, it could be a Fight-of-the-Night candidate. Dern and Robertson are both superb grapplers which means this one could wind up being decided in kickboxing. Who has the edge in that area, maybe the challenger, but we'll see. Don't sleep on this one.Robertson told UFC.com she finds her TKO in the third or fourth round.How Many Ranked Fighters Are On The Card?It's strange to see so few ranked fighters on a numbered UFC event, but the only fighters on the card with a number next to their name are the main and co-main eventers.Four ranked fighters, eleven fights. The Meta rankings return the same four names, and UFC 331 is the contrast.
