Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Machado Garry at UFC 330, winning a unanimous decision to secure a welterweight title defense and extend his winning streak to 17 straight fights. Multiple outlets report the bout goes to a full five rounds.
The victory also sets a UFC record for consecutive wins. Several sources say Makhachev surpasses Anderson Silva’s previous 16-fight streak, with Yahoo Sports noting the record is shared with Silva before the fight and then taken alone afterward. NDTV and other accounts describe the matchup as competitive and not consistently one-sided, with NDTV including specific scorecards (49-46, 48-47) indicating how judges scored the rounds.
Across coverage, the main differences are emphasis and detail: some outlets focus on the record-setting achievement and consistency, while others highlight that Garry provides a challenging, close contest leading to a unanimous decision rather than a finish.
