Volkanovski Retains Featherweight Title at UFC 333
Alexander Volkanovski retained his featherweight title by stopping Movsar Evloev in the second round at UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Amarillo, TX, October 24, 2026 —
Alexander Volkanovski retained his featherweight title after stopping Movsar Evloev in the second round at UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The result established Volkanovski as the winner of the title bout and kept the featherweight championship in his possession. Evloev was stopped during the second round, according to the information provided. The specific method of stoppage was not stated.
The summary identifies Abu Dhabi as the event location but does not provide the date of the contest, the venue, or details about how the bout unfolded before it ended. It also does not include statements from either fighter, their teams, or the UFC, or provide additional information about the championship’s status beyond Volkanovski’s retention.
UFC 333 was the event at which the bout took place. No other fight results, attendance figures, or event details were provided, so the scope of the confirmed information is limited to the title outcome, the opponent, the round in which the bout ended, and the location.
Volkanovski’s second-round stoppage of Evloev therefore stands as the central reported development: he left the event still featherweight champion. Further details about the finish or the fighters’ responses were not included in the available summary.
