UFC 333 is set to take place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on Saturday evening, offering a convenient viewing time for the Israeli audience. The event will be broadcast live on 5STARS starting at 9:15 PM, following a soccer match. This marks a significant return of multiple championship bouts to a single UFC event, a rarity in recent times.
The main event will see Alexander Volkanovski defend his featherweight title against the undefeated Russian contender Movsar Evloev. Volkanovski returns to the octagon after an eight-month hiatus, having previously won the belt in April 2025 when Ilia Topuria vacated it to move up a weight class. Since then, Volkanovski has secured two victories against Diego Lopez and now faces his toughest challenge in Evloev, who boasts a perfect 20-0 record.
In addition to the main event, the co-main event will feature Petr Yan defending his bantamweight championship. Yan will face former champion Merab Dvalishvili for the third time in their careers, having defeated Dvalishvili in their last encounter to win the title.
The stacked card also includes notable fighters such as rising star Lounir Kabano, the heavyweight Alexander Volkov, and an intriguing matchup between Aaron Pico and Lutsian Kaita, which will open the main card proceedings in Abu Dhabi. Preliminary fights will also showcase talent like Dominick Reyes and Nikita Krylov, promising a full night of action without the need for extremely early wake-up calls for viewers in Israel.
