All four fighters in the title bouts made weight on Friday for UFC 333. Alexander Volkanovski weighed 144.5 pounds. Movsar Evloev weighed 145. Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili each weighed 135.
Nicolle Caliari weighed 120.5 pounds. The strawweight limit is 116. Iasmin Lucindo weighed 115. Caliari forfeits 30 percent of her purse. The bout is still on.
The event page lists early prelims at 10 a.m. Eastern, prelims at noon, and the main card at 2 p.m. Eastern on Saturday, Oct. 24, on Paramount+. Early prelims are also on UFC Fight Pass. The arena is Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.
Why it matters (Estimate). Saturday's card has its weights. The strawweight bout proceeds with a purse penalty. This note does not pick a winner. (Estimate.)
Those times were checked Oct. 23, 2026, on the event page. The weigh-in article's introduction is not the source for the clock.
