About the event
What is UFC 333 Abu Dhabi?
UFC 333 is a numbered pay-per-view card, the format UFC uses for its biggest bouts and title fights. The main event is a UFC Featherweight Championship fight between Alexander Volkanovski and unbeaten contender Movsar Evloev. It will be Abu Dhabi's 24th UFC event, continuing a partnership that began in 2010 and is contracted with DCT Abu Dhabi until 2028.
Fight week usually brings open workouts, press conferences, ceremonial weigh-ins and fan activities around Yas Island, in addition to the event night itself. Sponsors, hotels and hospitality partners use this window to reach a large regional and international fan base, so fast turnaround of photos and short videos during fight week matters.
