UFC 333 goes down tonight, Saturday, October 24, 2026, at Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, and Alexander Volkanovski is defending his featherweight championship against unbeaten Movsar Evloev in the main event. Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili meet in the co-main event for the bantamweight title, so there are two championship fights on the night. The early prelims start at 10 a.m. ET, the preliminary card follows at noon, and the main card gets going at 2 p.m. ET. People in the US can stream it on Paramount+, and UFC Fight Pass also has the early prelims.

Paramount+ Carries the Main Card With No Pay-Per-View Purchase Required

US viewers can watch through Paramount+, and nobody has to buy a pay-per-view. Because of this deal, UFC 333 won't get a CBS simulcast, according to Paramount+ viewing guide. The full lineup has 14 fights split over three sections of the card. Here's how the matchups are arranged:

• Main card: Alexander Volkanovski vs Movsar Evloev; Petr Yan vs Merab Dvalishvili; Lone'er Kavanagh vs Ramazan Temirov; Alexander Volkov vs Rizvan Kuniev; Aaron Pico vs Losene Keita.
• Preliminary card: Azamat Murzakanov vs Dominick Reyes; Nikita Krylov vs Abdul-Rakhman Yakhyaev; Abus Magomedov vs Cam Rowston; Grant Dawson vs Nurullo Aliev.
• Early prelims: Colby Thicknesse vs Asaf Chopurov; Abubakar Vagaev vs Jacob Malkoun; Bolaji Oki vs Daniel Santos; Kody Steele vs Noah Gugnon; Iasmin Lucindo vs Nicolle Caliari.

The early prelims are also on UFC Fight Pass, so that's another way to catch the opening fights.

Two Championship Fights Lead a Card Featuring 14 Matchups

Both title fights are set for five rounds, and every other bout is scheduled for three. Volkanovski comes into the headliner at 28-4, while Evloev is unbeaten at 20-0. Yan is 20-5 going into his bantamweight title defense against Dvalishvili, who stands at 21-5.

There was one change to the early prelims at official weigh-ins on October 23. Nicolle Caliari missed the 115-pound strawweight limit for her fight against Iasmin Lucindo. The bout stays on the card as a catchweight contest, which just means it's fought at an agreed weight instead of the division limit, and Caliari forfeits 30% of her purse as a penalty.

Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi hosts it all, with the two championship fights closing out the scheduled main card.
