The UFC 333 biceps championship is official after four title holders successfully weighed in on Friday at the official weigh-in in Abu Dhabi.
In the main event, Alexander Volkanovski tipped the scales at 144.5 pounds for his main title defense against Movsar Evloev, who came in a half-pound heavier at 145 pounds.
Co-captains Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili hit both their marks and marks, each weighing in at 135 pounds ahead of their IRCTA trilogy on Saturday for Yan’s UFC bantamweight belt.

The rest of UFC 333’s 14-fight weight card on Friday was successful, with one exception: Nicolle Caliari was badly beaten in a strawweight bout against Jasmin Lucindo.
Caliari comes in at 120.5 pounds – 4.5 pounds over the 116-pound non-title limit. As a result, Lucindo will lose 30% of his purse and the fight will be processed as catchweight.
Friday’s official judges are just the first steps in a two-step process for the UFC 333 weigh-ins; Ceremonial weigh-ins also take place early Friday morning at 10 am ET.
