On Saturday, October 24, Paramount+ will present UFC® 333: Volkanovski vs. Evloev live from Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The 14-fight card is headlined by two UFC title fights and streams live and free with a Paramount+ subscription. Because the event takes place in Abu Dhabi, fans in the U.S. can catch the action earlier than usual, with the early prelims kicking off at 10 a.m. ET and the main card beginning at 2 p.m. ET. Highlights for the event include:
- Main event: Two-time UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski (28-4) puts his title on the line against the division's unbeaten No. 1-ranked contender, Movsar Evloev (20-0), who is 10-0 in the UFC with wins over Lerone Murphy, Aljamain Sterling, Arnold Allen and Diego Lopes. It is Evloev's first UFC title opportunity.
- Co-main event: Bantamweight champion Petr Yan (20-5) defends his title against former champion Merab Dvalishvili (21-5) in the third chapter of their rivalry. Dvalishvili won the first meeting in 2023, and Yan won the rematch at UFC 323 in December 2025 to reclaim the belt, leaving the series tied 1-1.
- The main card also features a flyweight matchup between Contender Series graduate Lone'er Kavanagh (10-2) and Ramazan Temirov (20-2); a heavyweight showdown between Alexander Volkov (40-11) and Rizvan Kuniev (15-3-1); and a featherweight bout between Aaron Pico (14-5) and Losene Keita (17-2).
