The promotion has expanded one of the year's biggest events, adding several matchups to a card already headlined by two title fights.

UFC 330 is continuing to take shape ahead of its Aug. 15 event in Philadelphia. Already featuring two championship bouts, with Islam Makhachev defending the welterweight title against Ian Machado Garry and Mackenzie Dern putting her strawweight belt on the line against Gillian Robertson, the promotion has now added several new fights across multiple weight classes.

New Bouts Added to UFC 330 Aug. 15 in Philadelphia

Welterweight veteran Neil Magny, who holds the UFC record for the most wins and most appearances in the division, is set to return against submission specialist Ramiz Brahimaj. Also at welterweight, former ranked contender Geoff Neal will face Chidi Njokuani, while Jeremiah Wells is scheduled to meet Myktybek Orolbai.

At lightweight, former top-10 contender Jalin Turner will square off with Kaue Fernandes. The Brazilian enters the matchup riding a three-fight winning streak and will look to continue his momentum against one of the division's most experienced competitors.

UFC 330's Other Notable Matchups

The updated lineup also includes several compelling fights. After moving up to middleweight and submitting Kelvin Gastelum, Vicente Luque returns to face Tresean Gore.

Veteran Edson Barboza will attempt to snap a three-fight losing streak when he meets Esteban Ribovics. The Argentine is also coming off a defeat and will be looking to rebound.

In the women's flyweight division, Erin Blanchfield will try to earn her third consecutive victory when she takes on Jasmine Jasudavicius. With both fighters currently ranked among the division's contenders, the matchup could play a significant role in the title picture.
