UFC 333 goes down today at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, and it's built around two title fights that have fans buzzing well before the cage doors close. Sherdog, Yahoo Sports and MMA Fighting are all running live coverage of the card, with Yahoo and MMA Mania confirming the promotion returns to Abu Dhabi for a show topped by Alexander Volkanovski defending his featherweight title against Movsar Evloev.

Volkanovski enters as the two time featherweight champion, and our tracker has him at a 1505 Elo across six bouts, priced at minus 106. Evloev, the number one ranked contender, sits higher at 1597 Elo through four fights and is priced at minus 105, fresh off a majority decision win over Lerone Murphy back in March. Our own model gives Evloev a slight 53 percent edge, with Volkanovski at 47 percent, about as close to a true pick em as it gets.

The co main features bantamweight champion Petr Yan running it back against number one contender Merab Dvalishvili. Yahoo's fight card breakdown confirms the Yan versus Dvalishvili fight and that Dvalishvili is the number one contender. Yan is priced at minus 142 and carries a 1552 Elo over six fights, while Dvalishvili, priced at plus 133, actually rates higher at 1611 Elo across seven bouts. Our model leans Yan at 53 percent to Dvalishvili's 47.

Adding to the main event storyline, Bloody Elbow reports that Khabib Nurmagomedov sent a supportive message to fellow countryman Evloev ahead of his title shot, with 'The Eagle' rooting for him to dethrone Volkanovski.
