Reservation under certain conditions

If Ian Machado Garry or Islam Makhachev are unable to fight at UFC 330 , Michael Morales fulfilled his obligation as the immediate reserve for the title fight.

A scare on the scale.

MMA veteran Edson Barboza was surprised at the UFC 330 weigh-in . Despite making weight backstage, the Brazilian needed a screen when he stepped on the scale in front of the cameras. Despite the scare, the athlete fulfilled his obligation, as usual, and is confirmed to face Esteban Ribovics in the opening fight of the main card, which could be his last in MMA.
