Tim Edwards Sat, October 24, 2026 at 12:19 PM UTC · 3 min read About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live THIS MORNING (Sat., Oct. 24, 2026) with UFC 333 taking place at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, streaming exclusively live on Paramount+ . The main event is Alexander Volkanovski vs. Movsar Evloev for the UFC Featherweight title. The co-main is Petr Yan vs. Merab Dvalishvili 3 for the UFC Bantamweight title.
UFC 333 is a banger card with two extremely high level title fights for our main and co-main events. The main event sees Alexander Volkanovski perhaps taking on his toughest test to date, in the undefeated Movsar Evloev . Evloev is peaking right now and might be the best pure wrestler Volkanovski has ever fought. You can't count Volkanovski out of anything, though. The Australian has shown that his fight IQ and elite well-rounded skillset can beat anyone (who isn't named Islam Makhachev).
The co-main is a rubber match between Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili and an immediate rematch of what went down last December, when Yan fought a perfect fight and spoiled Dvalishvili's attempt to make history with four title defences in a calendar year. Dvalishvili had the first laugh, against Yan, when he beat him in 2023. Will he also have the last laugh or will Yan prove his perfect fight is the norm and not a fluke?
Rounding out the main card is Lone'er Kavanagh vs. Ramazan Temirov , Alexander Volkov vs. Rizvan Kuniev and Aaron Pico vs. Losene Keita .
