UFC 333: Volkanovski vs. Evloev Pre-Fight Press Conference Live Stream & Replay

UFC 333 is just a few days away, and the event’s official pre-fight press conference is scheduled to go down today.

Following a return to Edmonton last Saturday, the UFC heads back to Abu Dhabi this weekend for a massive card featuring two title fights at the top of the bill.

The main event will see Alexander Volkanovski attempt to defend his featherweight belt against undefeated challenger Movsar Evloev, and in the co-main event Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili meet in a trilogy bout with Yan’s bantamweight title on the line.

Will Either Title Change Hands at UFC 333?

After successfully defending the featherweight belt on five occasions, Volkanovski relinquished his title at UFC 298 when he was knocked out by Ilia Topuria.

“The Great” defeated Diego Lopes to win the division’s vacant belt after Topuria moved up to lightweight, and Volkanovski also defended it when he and Lopes met in a rematch at UFC 325 earlier this year.

The first meeting between Yan and Dvalishvili back in 2023 saw “The Machine” take a unanimous decision over the Russian en route to the bantamweight belt, which he defended three times before Yan unseated him in their rematch at UFC 323 and became a two-time bantamweight champion.

UFC 333 Main Card is Loaded With Important Fights

The UFC 333 main card also includes a pivotal flyweight bout between top-ranked contender Lone’er Kavanagh and Ramazan Temirov, who is coming off a brutal first-round knockout of former title challenger Steve Erceg in July.

The next challenger for the heavyweight belt after UFC 334 might also be decided in Abu Dhabi, as Alexander Volkov will try and secure a long-awaited UFC title shot when he takes on Rizvan Kuniev.
