PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - AUGUST 13: UFC President and CEO Dana White expressed his distaste for Ian Machado Garry's actions ahead of the fifth and final round of his fight against Islam Makhachev at UFC 330. Makhachev emerged victorious in a unanimous decision at the Xfinity Mobile Arena, Philadelphia, on August 15, 2026.

White criticized Garry for shaking hands and embracing Makhachev before the final round, stating that coming out in the fifth round with a flying knee or a finish attempt would have been more appropriate.
