The UFC stages two title fights in Abu Dhabi on Saturday. In the UFC 333 main event, Australian featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski defends his belt against Russian Movsar Evloev. In the co-main event, bantamweight champion Petr Yan meets Georgia's Merab Dvalishvili again. Preliminary bouts begin at 10 a.m. ET (1400 GMT), with the main card at 2 p.m. ET.

All four title fighters made weight at Friday's official weigh-in. Volkanovski came in at 144.5 pounds and Evloev at 145, according to Sherdog. Yan and Dvalishvili each weighed 135 pounds, the bantamweight limit.

The only fighter to miss weight was Brazil's Nicolle Caliari, who was 4.5 pounds over the strawweight limit. Her bout against Iasmin Lucindo will go ahead at a catchweight, according to media reports. Caliari will forfeit 30 percent of her purse.
