Fans slam UFC 330 main card as background noise despite Makhachev clash

Fans criticized UFC 330’s five-fight main card in Philadelphia, with headliner Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Machado Garry drawing attention while the rest of the card—including Mackenzie Dern's title defense against Gillian Robertson—is seen as weak and lacking top-ranked contenders. Several fans labeled it the worst PPV in years, a sentiment echoed by Ronda Rousey’s remark that nonstop weekend events turn UFC cards into background noise, though the promotion’s major Paramount deal reduces emphasis on pay-per-views.

She cites MVP MMA’s Netflix event headlined by Rousey and Gina Carano that drew over 17 million viewers to argue the UFC missed a huge opportunity and that MVP could become a serious rival. Rousey also praises broader competition from promoters like Scott Coker and says she isn’t certain about returning to fighting, but hopes MVP continues staging big events and possibly involves Nate Diaz.
