In the main event, two-time UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski defends his title against the undefeated Movsar Evloev. Volkanovski is coming off of consecutive championship fight victories over Diego Lopes, while Evloev is 10-0 since making his UFC debut in 2019.

Ryan Harkness breaks down daily mixed martial arts (MMA) news, providing unique context to stories that only 15 years of obsessing over the sport can provide, having worked for FOX Sports, Yahoo!

Alexander Volkanovski is very confident coming into his featherweight title fight against Movsar Evloev at UFC 333. Volkanovski has been stumping for this matchup against the extremely tough but not very dynamic Evloev who has 10 wins in the UFC, all by decision. Evloev never hesitates to spam takedowns and go for a control-based win, something that might have worked against other opponents … but not Volkanovski, according to Volkanovski. “He better bring his very best game,” the Australian champ told MMA Junkie’s Farah Hannoun. “However he thinks he can win, come and do it. No disrespect to him, but I believe that where he’s so strong and so good with everyone else, I believe that’s not where he can beat me. Trying to out-grapple me for 25 minutes? I can’t see it.”“I believe that the only chance that any of these guys have is for them to catch me,” he continued.
