Nothing new for The Champ 👑 @AlexVolkanovski weighs in at 144.5 lbs! @VisitAbuDhabi | @InAbuDhabi | #InAbuDhabi [ #UFC333 | LIVE OCT 24 at 2pmET on @ParamountPlus ] https://t.co/JsoLPWZSAt— UFC (@ufc) October 23, 2026
Two Ultimate Fighting Championship title fights are now official following the UFC 333 weigh-ins.
The UFC pay-per-view, which takes place in Abu Dhabi, is headlined by a featherweight championship bout between Alexander Volkanovski and Movsar Evloev. Both men made weight, as did the co-main event rematch between champion Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili, who are fighting for a third time. All other fighters also made weight, with the exception of Nicolle Caliari, who came in 4.5 pounds overweight for her strawweight fight against Iasmin Lucindo. The fight will move forward with Caliari being fined a percentage of her purse.
Alexander Volkanovski looks to add another title defense to his impressive legacy inside the Octagon. After defeating Diego Lopes twice in a row to claim and defend the once-vacant title, the 38-year-old Volkanovski (28-4) has shown that he's still operating at a world-class level. "The Great" looks to extend his win streak to three and stepped on the scale weighing 144.5 pounds.
Meanwhile, Evloev (20-0) will look to cause an upset for the biggest win of his career. The undefeated Russian is 10-0 inside the Octagon and most recently beat Lerone Murphy, Aljamain Sterling, Arnold Allen and Lopes. Just 32, the American Top Team product will look to prove he's the future of the featherweight division. Evloev weighed 145 pounds on the dot.
UFC 333 will air in its entirety on Paramount+. The prelims begin at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT, while the main card kicks off at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT.
