Islam Makhachev defeated Ian Machado Garry by unanimous decision at UFC 330 on Aug. 15, 2026, at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, with judges scoring the bout 49-46, 49-46 and 48-47 in his favor. Makhachev nearly finished Garry in round two with a clean head kick after Garry dropped his hands following a clinch separation, but Garry survived. After that moment, Makhachev shifted to a grappling-heavy gameplan, repeatedly taking Garry down and controlling him on the mat through rounds three, four and five rather than pressing for a finish. Garry absorbed the damage and avoided being stopped, denying Makhachev the finish that would have ended the fight inside the distance.
The win extended Makhachev's UFC winning streak and made him one of a small group of fighters to defend titles in two divisions, but the bout went the full 25 minutes. Predict Six's community had voted unanimously that Makhachev would finish Garry inside the distance; the fight instead reached the judges' scorecards, so the question resolved no.
