Alexander Volkanovski and Petr Yan both held on to their titles at UFC 333, according to ESPN. The event took place on Saturday, 24 October 2026, and ESPN reported the results that evening.
ESPN's headline named Volkanovski and Yan as the winners who retained their championships. The card was headlined by Volkanovski against Movsar Evloev, a bout covered live by News.com.au and Sherdog, which both ran round-by-round updates.
Coverage of the main event was widely positive for Volkanovski. Fox Sports described him crushing Evloev in what it called a stunning statement that enhanced his legend status, and its headline led with the word "UNREAL!" ESPN did not provide further detail in the summary available.
The pairing of two successful title defenses on one card made UFC 333 a significant night for the promotion's champions. Volkanovski's win over Evloev drew the bulk of the attention, with multiple outlets building their coverage around the main event rather than the rest of the card. Yan's defense was confirmed in ESPN's results reporting.
Details on how either fight unfolded, including scores and finishes, were not included in the material available, so they are not reported here.
What to watch next: official UFC 333 results and post-fight confirmation from the promotion, plus any announcement about who challenges Volkanovski or Yan next.
