UFC 330 is set to light up the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, tonight, Saturday, August 15, featuring a stacked lineup of must-watch matchups. The event serves as the UFC’s seventh numbered card of 2026 and the promotion’s sixth visit to the “City of Brotherly Love”, as well as its first return since a Fight Night event in March 2019.
The UFC 330 card is headlined by a championship doubleheader. In the main event, reigning welterweight champion Islam Makhachev will make his first defense of his title against Ian Machado Garry. Meanwhile, the co-main event will see strawweight champion Mackenzie Dern make her first title defense against surging veteran Gillian Robertson.
UFC 330: What Walkout Songs Do Islam Makhachev And Ian Machado Garry Use?
Fighter walkouts remain one of the most anticipated parts of any MMA event. Long before the cage door shuts, the atmosphere inside the arena begins to build, with entrance music blasting through the venue as fans get to their feet to welcome the fighters.
Here’s a closer look at the walkout songs that several UFC 330 fighters have chosen for their previous Octagon appearances.
Sporting an impressive 17-1 UFC record, Islam Makhachev heads into UFC 330 set to make the first defense of his welterweight title. Makhachev captured the 170-pound championship with a dominant unanimous decision win over Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322 last November. Another victory could also see him surpass UFC Hall of Famer Anderson Silva’s record of 16 consecutive wins inside the Octagon.
Makhachev has also stayed consistent with his walkout music, choosing a track that reflects his Dagestani roots. The 34-year-old typically makes his way to the Octagon to the infectious beats of “Dreams” by DJ Nariman.
Meanwhile, Ian Machado Garry brings a strong 10-1 UFC record into the matchup, riding a wave of momentum after securing a commanding unanimous decision victory over Belal Muhammad at UFC Qatar last November.
When it comes to his Octagon entrance, “The Future” has maintained a familiar tradition, frequently making his walk to the cage to the iconic “Layla” by Eric Clapton. The choice is particularly personal for Garry, with the track sharing its name with his wife.

With an 11-5 UFC record, Mackenzie Dern will look to kick off her strawweight title reign on a high note at UFC 330. The 33-year-old Brazilian-American captured the 115-pound championship with a unanimous decision victory over Virna Jandiroba at UFC 321 last October.
For her walkout entrance, Dern has consistently opted for “Hippie Sabotage” by Righteous, with the atmospheric electronic track becoming a familiar part of her walkout routine.
Meanwhile, Gillian Robertson enters the bout with a 14-6 promotional record and riding an impressive five-fight winning streak. The 31-year-old Canadian was last in action at UFC Vegas 114 in March, where she secured a decision victory over former title challenger Amanda Lemos.
For her Octagon walkout, “The Savage” has made “P.I.M.P.” by 50 Cent her signature entrance track, with the iconic hip-hop anthem becoming a familiar part of her fight-night routine.
