More than seven years after making his UFC debut, undefeated featherweight Movsar Evloev finally has his title shot. The 32-year-old has had to be far more patient than most, so it's somewhat fitting that his long-awaited moment in the spotlight is a double-edged sword. Alexander Volkanovski is an idol to Evloev, and should he lose his crown this weekend "The Great" might never set foot in the Octagon again.
Here's how you can watch UFC 333 live streams from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for just $1.
UFC 333 is taking place on Saturday, October 24.
► Main card: 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT / 7 p.m. BST / 5 a.m. AEDT (Sun.)
• U.S. stream — Paramount Plus via $1 Walmart Plus trial
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free
After losing to Islam Makhachev three years ago and being condemned to the first back-to-back defeats of his career by Ilia Topuria, Volkanovski could easily have called it a day. Instead, at the ripe old age of 38 the former rugby league player is about to embark on the second defense of his second reign.
The first came just eight months ago, when Volkanovski beat Diego Lopes by unanimous decision, 10 months after defeating the Brazilian to regain the featherweight belt in the first place.
The UFC's neglect of Evloev is almost certainly down to his soft-spoken temperament and grappling prowess, but while the 32-year-old has been nothing but respectful to Volkanovski — even inviting his opponent to fire up the grill together — during his majority-decision victory over Lerone Murphy seven months ago he let his fists do the talking.
That's a dangerous strategy against a striker of Volkanovski's caliber, but that fact he's headlining UFC 333 at all illustrates just how much style-points matter.
