UFC 333: Alexander Volkanovski vs Movsar Evloev start time, undercard and how to watch fights this weekend

This weekend, Alexander Volkanovski and Petr Yan defend their titles in a major double-header at UFC 333.

In the main event in Abu Dhabi, Volkanovski puts his featherweight belt on the line against Movsar Evloev, who will bring an unbeaten record and tricky grappling style against the Australian icon.

At 38 years old, the well-rounded Volkanovski will hope not to have lost a step, as the slightest drop-off could cost him against a fighter known for close decisions.

In the co-main event, Yan fights Merab Dvalishvili for the third time, having avenged a loss to the Georgian by outpointing him with a masterful showing in December.

The bantamweight belt is up for grabs in that fight, just as it was in their second meeting, and a Yan victory could set up a great night for Russia if Evloev follows suit.
