UFC 333 goes down on Saturday in Abu Dhabi, and the card is absolutely loaded with evenly matched fights. Among those fantastically matched bouts are the two title fights atop the card.
In the main event, Alexander Volkanovski will look to continue his second reign as featherweight champion when he faces top contender Movsar Evloev. Evloev brings a perfect 20-0 professional record to the Octagon against a legend who has looked ageless in his second run with the title.

The co-main event features the third bout between bantamweight champion Petr Yan and former champ Merab Dvalishvili. Dvalishvili beat Yan in 2023, two fights before claiming the championship. The loss to Dvalishvili was Yan's third straight loss and seemed to mark the end of Yan's time as an elite bantamweight just years after he'd been champion.
Instead, Yan won three in a row to earn a rematch with Dvalishvili, this time pulling off an impressive win to capture the championship for a second time.
The undercard for Saturday is about as evenly matched as could get, and most feature rising contenders looking to make a statement. Rising flyweight finishers collide in a featured bout when Lone'er Kavangh takes on Ramazan Temirov. Kavanagh turned heads earlier this year when he scored a knockout of former champion Brandon Moreno. Temirov is coming off a brutal finish of former title challenger Steve Erceg in July. Plus, heavyweight title contender Alexander Volkov looks to turn away another challenger in fellow countryman Rizvan Kuniev. And rising featherweights Aaron Pico and Losene Keita open the main card in a fight sure to produce fireworks.
