The UFC is back in the Middle East for UFC 333, its 10th numbered event of the calendar year, and two title fights are at the top of the bill.
The popular "Embedded" fight week video series is here to document what's happening behind the scenes. UFC 333 (Paramount+) takes place Saturday at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.
In the main event, two-time featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski (28-4 MMA, 15-3 UFC) puts his title on the line against unbeaten challenger Movsar Evloev (20-0 MMA, 10-0 UFC). In the co-feature, two-time bantamweight champ Petr Yan (20-5 MMA, 12-4 UFC) takes on ex-titleholder Merab Dvalishvili (21-5 MMA, 14-3 UFC) in a trilogy rematch.
The fourth episode of "Embedded" follows the featured fighters while they get ready for fight week. Here is the UFC's description of the episode from YouTube:
"Alexander Volkanovski shows he can’t slow down; Grant Dawson has lunch; Lone’er Kavanagh trains; Fighters check in for UFC 333; Merab Dvalishvili gets in some training; Alexander Volkanovski hosts a big feast for the team; Movsar Evloev trains and enjoys the moment."
