"“I'm pissed... I should be the main event of Philly... I have no interest if I'm not the main event,” Pyfer told Ariel Helwani. “Where I train, where I come from, I think I should be the main event at Philly. We have so many Philly fighters, and you got potentially a Russian and Irish dude. Don't make sense to me... I would do the co-main. That makes sense maybe... 60 days left, no contact.”"
"Pyfer (16-3) was born in Philadelphia and has trained there at Balance Studios to this day. Coming off a huge win in the main event of UFC Seattle against Israel Adesanya, Pyfer expects to be the main event in his hometown. However, rumors are circulating that Islam Makhachev could put his welterweight title on the line against Ian Garry in the main event at UFC 330."

UFC 330 is scheduled for August 15 at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Joe Pyfer, born in Philadelphia and still training at Balance Studios, is coming off a major main-event win over Israel Adesanya in Seattle. Pyfer expects to be the main event in his hometown, but rumors suggest Islam Makhachev could defend his welterweight title against Ian Garry in the main event. Pyfer says he would accept the co-main event but is frustrated by the possibility of not being the headline. He also notes a lack of communication from the UFC with about two months remaining before the event.
