The UFC has released the official poster for UFC 330, formally confirming Islam Makhachev versus Sean Brady Machado Garry as the main event of the August 15 card.
Makhachev enters the bout as the reigning welterweight champion and the top-ranked pound-for-pound fighter in the world. The 34-year-old Russian, who trains out of Eagles MMA, carries a record of 28-1-0 and brings a well-rounded, pressure-based game into every outing. Standing five-foot-ten with a 70-inch reach, the southpaw lands 2.63 significant strikes per minute at a striking accuracy of 58 percent, while also averaging 3.2 takedowns and 1.1 submission attempts per 15 minutes — a combination that makes him dangerous in virtually every phase of the fight.
The poster reveal represents a formal step in the promotional buildup toward what shapes up as a significant welterweight title defense for Makhachev.
