A pair of championship bouts headline UFC 333 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi. In the main event, one of the greatest featherweights in MMA history will be in action when Alexander Volkanovski defends his 145-pound championship against undefeated top contender Movsar Evloev.
Volkanovski kicked off his second reign as champion after winning a vacant title fight with Diego Lopes last year. The two went into an immediate rematch earlier this year, which Volkanovski won again. Now, he takes on Evloev, who finally gets his crack at gold after building a 20-0 record overall and a 10-0 mark in the UFC. He has yet to score a finish in the UFC ranks, but a win on Saturday will make it all worth it in the end.

In the co-main event, Petr Yan will defend the UFC bantamweight championship against former champ Merab Dvalishvili. Dvalishvili won their 2023 meeting, but Yan got even in their rematch this past December, capturing the belt in the process.
