UFC 333: Volkanovski and Evloev Headline the Featherweight Title Fight in Abu Dhabi

Alexander Volkanovski and Movsar Evloev meet in the main event of UFC 333, a featherweight championship bout, on Saturday 24 October. The fight takes place at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Volkanovski is in his second reign as featherweight champion, according to ESPN. Evloev, 32, comes in with an undefeated professional record of 20 wins and no losses, as ESPN's preview noted.

The main event walkouts, the moment the fighters enter the arena, are expected at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time, or 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The night is a long one. The earliest fights, known as the early prelims, start at 10 a.m. Eastern (7 a.m. Pacific). The prelims, the next set of bouts before the main card, begin at 12 p.m. Eastern (9 a.m. Pacific). The main card starts at 2 p.m. Eastern, based on UFC's official schedule.

Early on the card, Kody Steele beat Noah Gugnon by first-round knockout, according to UFC's own video report. A knockout ends a fight when one fighter is unable to continue.

Where to watch matters for fans in many countries. UFC 333 is shown exclusively on Paramount+, which means no other streaming service carries it in the United States. The Hollywood Reporter says Paramount+ does not offer a free trial directly through its own website, so people who want to sign up will pay for a subscription from the start.

There are other routes in. DirecTV's Entertainment, Choice and Ultimate packages each include three months of Paramount+ at no extra cost. DirecTV also offers a five-day free trial on its plans, so a new customer can watch the event without paying for the first five days.

Anyone planning to watch should check the start times in their own time zone. The schedule runs from the early morning to the evening, and times can shift for the broadcast window. For the fighters, the night is the result of weeks of training and travel, and the people who run the card will be working through all of it from the first bout to the last.
