Islam Makhachev will defend his lightweight title against challenger Ian Machado Garry in the main event of UFC 330, taking place at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. While many consider Garry an underdog, former BMF champion Jorge Masvidal believes Makhachev can potentially overcome the challenger. Masvidal emphasizes the importance of footwork and avoiding the middle of the cage, urging Garry to stay on his toes and target Makhachev's chest with his powerful hand.
Masvidal warns that if Garry gets caught with a leg takedown early on, it could pose a significant issue for him. He believes the fight will start with close competition, but as it progresses, Makhachev's wrestling skills will likely give him the upper hand. Masvidal predicts Makhachev will secure the victory through a choke or takedown, stating that he is the clear favorite for the win.
