UFC 333 Results: Volkanovski Stops Evloev, Yan Retains

UFC 333 took place at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on October 24, 2026. Alexander Volkanovski stopped Movsar Evloev by strikes at 4:54 of the second round to retain the featherweight title. Evloev had success early, but Volkanovski’s right hand and follow-up strikes ended the main event.

Petr Yan retained the bantamweight championship in the co-main event, defeating former titleholder Merab Dvalishvili by unanimous decision. All three judges scored the five-round bout 48–47. Dvalishvili set a high pace early, while Yan rallied with stronger striking in the later rounds to secure the cards.

Other main-card results included Lone’er Kavanagh’s first-round stoppage of Ramazan Temirov, Alexander Volkov’s unanimous decision over Rizvan Kuniev and Aaron Pico’s first-round TKO of Losene Keita. The UFC’s official results list the times and outcomes for each bout, including Kavanagh at 4:28 and Pico at 1:14 of Round 1.

The two title fights ended differently: Volkanovski finished his challenger, while Yan went the full 25 minutes. The event therefore settled both championship matchups on the night, with the official record showing a featherweight TKO and a bantamweight decision. The results also gave the undercard finishers notable wins without changing either title. UFC published these results.
