Overview
- Islam Makhachev defeated Ian Machado Garry by unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 48-47) to retain the UFC welterweight title and extend his UFC winning streak to 17, surpassing Anderson Silva.
- The fight on Saturday was competitive, with Garry landing significant strikes and making Makhachev bleed while the champion used takedowns and top control to secure the decision.
- Mackenzie Dern retained the women's strawweight title by unanimous decision in the co-main, recording her first successful defense with dominant grappling over Gillian Robertson.
- The card produced several decisive finishes including Jalin Turner’s 39-second KO and Esteban Ribovics’ TKO of Edson Barboza, who announced his retirement, and the UFC awarded four $100,000 performance bonuses.
- Makhachev’s new sole-record streak reshapes the 170-pound picture by confirming his hold on the division and creating near-term matchmaking questions about how he matches up with top welterweights such as Michael Morales or Carlos Prates.
