UFC 333: Alexander Volkanovski vs. Movsar Evloev, main card predictions

UFC 333, set for March 20, 2026, in London, United Kingdom, promises to be an exciting event with a talented lineup of fighters. In the main event, featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski will defend his title against No. 1 contender Movsar Evloev. Evloev, a Russian fighter with excellent wrestling and top control, boasts a perfect record of 20-0. Hailing from the first UFC Edmonton card of 2026, which featured a series of upsets and highlight-reel knockouts, UFC 333 is shaping up to be the best card of the year.

In the co-main event, Petr Yan will face Merab Dvalishvili in a trilogy fight. Both fighters have dominated their past encounters, with Dvalishvili's forward pressure and relentless takedown attempts a factor to consider. Now that Dvalishvili has had a break, he should be well-rested for the rematch. While Yan's performance in their last fight was impressive, especially with his body shots, he will likely face a more prepared opponent this time around. If the fight doesn't go down on the mat, Yan should have the advantage.

Other notable fights on the card include Lone'er Kavanaugh vs. Ramazan Temirov, Alexander Volkov vs. Rizvan Kuniev, and Aaron Pico vs. Losene Keita.
