evaluations confirmed minor fractures to both his orbital bone and
nose.

in the orbital but we live to fight another day,†Bashi wrote on
Instagram along with a photo of his injuries. “Thank you so much to
all my family, fans, and team for all the love and support, love
and appreciate you all! Time to rest a little bit and get straight
back to work, I love this game and I love what I do I'll be back
soon.â€
Bashi earned a UFC contract through
Dana White's Contender Series in 2024 and is now 1-2 inside the
Octagon, with his losses coming against Delgado and Christian
Rodriguez.

While neither fighter is primarily known for wrestling, both bring
considerable grappling and combat sports experience into the
matchup.
Pyfer, 29, has since established himself as one of the UFC’s most
promising middleweight contenders. A
Dana White's Contender Series signee, Pyfer has won four
straight fights and owns a 7-1 record since joining the UFC in
2022. Most recently, he finished former UFC champ Israel
Adesanya earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Rockhold is looking to register his first victory under
the RAF banner. The 41-year-old made his promotional debut in
January, losing to Colby
Covington. He has remained active across several combat sports
since leaving the UFC in 2022, competing in bare-knuckle boxing,
karate, jiu jitsu and boxing.

Carlos Prates predicts big upset in UFC 330 headliner between Islam Makhachev and Ian Machado Garry
Published
7 hours agoon
August 10, 2026Carlos Prates believes that Islam Makhachev will be leaving Philadelphia without the UFC Welterweight Championship.
Makhachev's 170-pound gold will be at stake when he collides with Ian Machado Garry in the UFC 330 main event on Saturday. It'll be Garry's first UFC title fight and his first pay-per-view headliner. “The Future†will serve as Makhachev's first welterweight title challenger.
The champion will enter as a clear betting favorite, but Garry insists he will stun the MMA world by putting the top pound-for-pound MMA fighter to sleep. While Prates isn't going as far as to predict a finish for Garry, he does feel “The Future†has what it takes to pull off the upset win.
In a clip posted on UFC's X page, Prates shared his pick for the underdog Garry to pull it off.
“UFC 330, Ian Garry is gonna beat Makhachev by decision,†Prates said. “I don't know if unanimous decision or split decision, but it's gonna be a decision.â€
Prates has shared the Octagon with Garry and he nearly pulled off a come-from-behind victory. The Fighting Nerds standout ended up dropping a unanimous decision, and he actually became quite chummy with “The Future†once their fight wrapped up. Garry has envisioned facing Prates in a rematch with the UFC Welterweight Championship on the line.
In order for Garry to see his vision through, he'll need to become just the second man to defeat Makhachev in pro MMA competition. The reigning 170-pound titleholder hasn't been beaten since suffering an upset knockout loss back in 2015. The hiccup didn't deter Makhachev, who eventually broke the record for the most successful UFC lightweight title defenses before he moved up.
