The fight unfolded in Philadelphia at Xfinity Mobile Arena, with Makhachev claiming his 17th consecutive win in the promotion. The match began with Makhachev initiating the action early, showcasing his aggressive stance and effortlessly controlling Machado Garry, who tried to adapt to the situation. The high kick landed by Makhachev in Round 2 proved to be decisive, as it dropped Machado Garry and put him in a vulnerable position momentarily. Machado Garry responded with notable effort in Round 3, landing a strong high kick that left Makhachev with a minor eye issue, while also successfully defending against a deep single-leg attempt. The fourth round witnessed a tactical standoff, with both fighters exchanging blows and Machado Garry attempting a takedown before being pushed to the fence. Ultimately, Makhachev managed to secure the back control, maintaining it throughout the remainder of the contest. This victory marked Makhachev's second successful title defense at welterweight and further solidified his status as UFC's premier fighter.",
