UFC 330 fight card predictions: Expert picks, odds for Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Garry in Philadelphia

Islam Makhachev and Ian Machado Garry reignite the rivalry between Dagestan and Ireland. It may not have the bad blood of Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor, but UFC 330 certainly presents the two best welterweights on the planet.

Makhachev is on a historic run. Already the sport's top pound-for-pound fighter, every new fight is another opportunity to build his legacy. He started 2025 by breaking the lightweight title defense record and ended it by becoming a two-division champion.

On Saturday, he can extend his undefeated UFC streak to 17, breaking a record originally set by Anderson Silva 14 years ago. Garry doesn't plan to be a means to an end. The abundantly confident title challenger already considers himself a living great.

Equipped with nearly unbeatable skills and trained by BJJ legends Demian Maia and Charles Oliveira, Garry's potential to upset the champion should not be ignored.

At the same time, Robertson may have put together a more impressive run with a 7-2 run dating back to 2022.
