Islam Makhachev puts his welterweight title on the line for the first time when he faces Ian Machado Garry in the main event of UFC 330 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. The Russian is currently on a 16-fight winning streak but will face a stern examination against a dangerous counter-striker with just one defeat to his name.
Here's how you can watch UFC 330 live streams from anywhere with a VPN.
UFC 330 is taking place on Saturday, August 15.
► Main card: 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT / 2 a.m. BST (Sun.) / 11 a.m. AEST (Sun.)
• U.S. stream — Paramount Plus / Walmart Plus trial
• Watch anywhere — Try Proton VPN
Rightfully recognized as one of the most feared welterweights on the planet, Makhachev has come a very long way since his sole defeat, by Adriano Martins. Beaten in just his second fight in the UFC, the Russian has since racked up 16 straight victories, a run that ties him with Anderson Silva for the longest win streak in company history.
Now the 34-year-old will be aiming to make the record his own and solidify his position as a pound-for-pound great. However, standing in his way is a hungry fighter who boasts an equally impressive record.
Machado Garry has won 10 of his 11 fights in the UFC, with his only loss coming against Shavkat Rakhmonov in December 2024. Since then he’s gained unanimous victories over Belal Muhammad and Carlos Prates, and is fully deserving of a title shot.
The Irishman is extremely skilled at using his tall frame and long reach to his advantage, but can be found lacking in the wrestling and grappling department. Something he will have to address if he hopes to shock Makhachev, who is a master of chain wrestling and Sambo.
