Dana White criticizes Ian Garry's killer instinct after UFC 330 loss
Summary

Dana White expressed disappointment in Ian Garry's performance after his match against Islam Makhachev at UFC 330 on August 15, 2026. Despite a competitive fight, White believes Garry's display of sportsmanship, including hugging Makhachev in the final round, reflected a lack of 'killer instinct' necessary to win. With two judges scoring the fight in favor of Makhachev, White suggested Garry could have produced a more aggressive finish to change the outcome. The loss means Garry missed an opportunity to secure a title shot against Makhachev, who extended his undefeated streak, surpassing Anderson Silva's record.
