Ex-MMA champion who ended Khabib protege's UFC career returns on Alexander Volkanovski undercard

After kicking off the October schedule with UFC 332 in Salt Lake City, the leading promotion in MMA will take the Octagon back to Abu Dhabi for the month’s second numbered event.

Two-time featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski will defend his title against Movsar Evloev in the main event of UFC 333, after bantamweight king Petr Yan completes his trilogy with Merab Dvalishvili.

A number of intriguing matchups are set for the undercard, and the latest addition is the man responsible for the recent UFC exit of a Khabib Nurmagomedov protege.
