- Islam Makhachev surpassed Anderson Silva's mark for the longest winning streak in UFC history with his 17th consecutive victory, taking a unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 48-47) over Ian Machado Garry in the UFC 330 main event in Philadelphia on Saturday.
- Makhachev nearly finished Garry with a head kick off a clinch separation in Round 2, then leaned on grappling and wrestling to control the final three rounds and secure the decision on all three judges' scorecards.
- Mackenzie Dern made her first successful defense of the 115-pound title in the co-main event, overwhelming Gillian Robertson with grappling for a unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 48-47).
- The undercard produced multiple stoppages, including Jalin Turner's first-round TKO of Kauê Fernandes, Dustin Stoltzfus's second-round rear-naked choke of Mansur Abdul-Malik, and Esteban Ribovics's second-round TKO of Edson Barboza.
- Veteran Neil Magny added another finish with a second-round TKO of Ramiz Brahimaj, while Charles Johnson scored a second-round Scottish twister submission of Eduardo Chapolin.
- The lone blemish on Makhachev's UFC resume remains a first-round flash knockout loss to Adriano Martins in his promotional debut — every fight since, across 17 bouts, has been a win.
Why it matters: Makhachev's 17th straight UFC win — passing Anderson Silva — strengthens his claim in the pound-for-pound and all-time GOAT debate, an angle CBS Sports' pre-event coverage explicitly flagged. For Garry, the loss stings but going the distance after absorbing a Round 2 head kick signals he can hang at championship level.
