UFC 330 Results 2026: Makhachev Breaks UFC Win Record

Islam Makhachev is now the only fighter in UFC history with 17 straight wins inside the promotion, and he got there the least glamorous way available: a five round decision. The UFC 330 results from Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia on Saturday night pushed him past Anderson Silva, whose 16 fight run had stood as the benchmark for more than a decade. The record was effectively locked by the middle rounds, but the way Makhachev banked it is the part that should reshape how you price his next appearance.

UFC 330 results: how Makhachev got to 17

Makhachev opened by taking Garry down in the first round, then spent most of the round welded to Ian Machado Garry against the fence. Round two was the closest he came to a finish. He dropped Garry with a head kick and rode top position for the balance of the round.

Then the fight changed shape. Garry took over the third and fourth on the feet as the champion's output visibly dropped. Makhachev still kept hitting takedowns in the fourth, but he could not hold Garry down. He closed the fifth by taking Garry down, taking the back and locking a body triangle.

The official cards read 49-46, 49-46, 48-47 for Makhachev. That is a wider result than most people watching had it.

In the co-main, Mackenzie Dern completed her first strawweight title defense, beating Gillian Robertson by unanimous decision on identical scores of 49-46, 49-46, 48-47. Dern's grappling smothered the first four rounds. Robertson had her best round in the fifth, the only round she clearly banked.

The numbers behind the cards

The interesting split is between the judges and the press row. Sherdog's live round scoring gave Garry the third and the fourth, arriving at 48-47 Makhachev. Two of the three official judges gave Makhachev four rounds. That is a gap between media consensus and the cage side cards, and it is the kind of gap that matters when you are laying a number on a grappler who controls without doing damage.

The rest of the card was violent. Eight of the twelve bouts ended inside the distance, per UFC's official UFC 330 card. Jalin Turner needed 39 seconds to knock out Kaue Fernandes. Dustin Stoltzfus submitted Mansur Abdul-Malik with a rear naked choke at 4:25 of round two. Esteban Ribovics stopped Edson Barboza on strikes at 1:32 of the second. On the early prelims, Jeremiah Wells choked out Myktybek Orolbai at 1:24 of round three.

The Barboza stoppage carried more weight than the rest of the undercard. He laid his gloves down in the Octagon afterwards, retiring on the spot after a career that ran seventeen years and made him one of the most recognisable lightweights of his era. That is the second story out of Philadelphia, and for a lot of people watching it was the one that landed hardest.

Betting and DFS impact

Scored against the pre fight board, favorites went 8-4 on the night. Makhachev was priced at minus-360 with Machado Garry at plus-285 on DraftKings as of fight day, 15 August, and Dern was minus-205 against Robertson at plus-170 on the same board. Both chalk title picks cashed, and neither did it inside the distance.

The money was in the dogs, and most of it was on the undercard. Stoltzfus and Wells both entered as substantial underdogs and both finished their favored opponents. Neil Magny and Chidi Njokuani also won as plus money. Prices in that range moved meaningfully across books, so the exact number you got depended on where you shopped, but the direction was the same everywhere: the short side lost repeatedly.

The broader read for anyone modeling UFC lines: the heaviest favorites on this card went 1-2, and that bracket is where bankrolls quietly bleed. Our AI sports picks hub grades every fight the same way regardless of price, which is exactly the discipline this card rewarded. If you want the pre fight read we published before any of this happened, the UFC 330 predictions breakdown is still up. Size your positions before the walkouts, not after.

What to watch next

Makhachev moves to 29-1 overall and owns the streak outright at 17. The open question is whether the welterweight division has anyone who can force him into a fifth round of real danger, because rounds three and four suggested a version of him that fades against volume kickers. Machado Garry falls to 17-2 and, at 28, has time to rebuild the case.

Dern is now the reference point at 115 pounds with a defense on the books. Robertson showed she can survive five rounds against elite grappling but not reverse it.

For anyone tracking these fights week to week, Chad runs the model on every card. The pattern from Philadelphia is worth carrying forward: control based favorites are winning, but not covering the method props people keep buying.
