UFC 330 Start Time, Full Fight Card and How to Watch Makhachev vs. Machado Garry

UFC 330 lands tonight, Saturday, August 15, 2026, at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, marking the promotion’s first numbered event in the city since UFC 133 back in 2011.

Topping the bill is a welterweight title fight between pound-for-pound champion Islam Makhachev and Ian Machado Garry.

Makhachev, who moved up from lightweight, will make history with a win by moving past Anderson Silva to own the longest win streak in the UFC. Garry has an impressive resume with notable wins over Belal Muhammad, Michael Page and Carlos Prates.

Main Card Headlined by Two Championship Fights

In the co-headliner, women’s strawweight champion Mackenzie Dern puts her belt on the line against Gillian Robertson, who is on a five-fight win streak.

Beyond the championship bouts, the main card features a lightweight clash between Edson Barboza and Esteban Ribovics, a middleweight bout pitting Mansur Abdul-Malik against Dustin Stoltzfus, and Jalin Turner taking on Kauê Fernandes.

The preliminary card adds several notable names, including veteran welterweight Neil Magny against Ramiz Brahimaj and Vicente Luque squaring off with Tresean Gore, while the early prelims open the night’s action.

When the Fights Start

All of UFC 330 fights will stream on Paramount+ with the early prelims set to begin at 5:30 p.m. ET, followed by the preliminary card at 7 p.m. ET, with the main card kicking off at 9 p.m. ET.

Given the depth of the 13-plus fight lineup, the Makhachev-Garry main event isn’t expected to begin until close to midnight ET, so fans planning to watch live should be ready for a long night.

For those outside the U.S., the timing shifts considerably as viewers in the UK and Ireland can expect the main event to get underway at around 2.AM main event kicking off at 5.AM, while fans on the West Coast will see the card start in the late afternoon.

Can Ian Garry Upset Islam Makhachev?

Machado Garry’s personal life may come under constant attack from trolls online but his MMA skills are not up for debate. He is a well-rounded fighter, who is well aware he needs to keep the fight standing and avoid Makhachev’s elite grappling.

Whether he will succeed is what we will find out on Saturday night. What annoys MMA fans in Garry is exactly what makes him hard to beat. He is good at controlling distance, limiting risks and is one of the best fighters defensively in the UFC.

Makhachev is well-rounded himself, with an advantage in grappling. It will likely be a technical matchup with Makhachev getting the edge over the Irish star in a decision victory.
