UFC 330: Makhachev Holds Welterweight Title in Close Decision

Islam Makhachev defended his welterweight title at UFC 330 in Philadelphia, winning a unanimous decision against Ian Machado Garry. Garry forced Makhachev to work for seven takedowns and bloodied the champion's face. After the fight, UFC President Dana White criticized Garry for shaking Makhachev's hand before the final round. "That stuff drives me crazy," White said. "You come out in that fifth round with a flying knee or something crazy and you're trying to finish the fight." One judge scored the bout 48-47 for Makhachev. The card also featured Edson Barboza's retirement and Mackenzie Dern's first strawweight title defense.
