Petr Yan vs. Merab Dvalishvili<\/a> and an immediate rematch of what went down back in Dec. 2026, when Yan fought a perfect fight and spoiled Dvalishvili\u2019s attempt to make history with four title defenses in a calendar year. Dvalishvili had the first laugh, against Yan, when he beat him in 2023. Will he also have the last laugh or will Yan prove his perfect fight is the norm and not a fluke?<\/p>\nThe late \u201cPrelims\u201d are headlined by Dominick Reyes vs. Azamat Murzakanov. There\u2019s also Nikita Krylov vs. Abdul Rakhman Yakhyaev, Abus Magomedov vs. Cam Rowston and Grant Dawson vs. Nurullo Aliev.<\/p>\n

UFC 333 PLAY-BY-PLAY UPDATES<\/p>\n
Kody Steele vs. Noah Gugnon: Gugnon looked good early, rocking Steele with his striking. Steele was able to land a few nice shots of his own, though. Steele then tried to go to his grappling and got a takedown, but Gugnon stood right back up. That led to some heavy exchanges in the middle of the cage. The pair came together and Gugnon went down after getting caught on the ear (I thought there might have been a clash of heads in there, too).<\/p>\n
Official decision: Kody Steele def. Noah Gugnon by KO (punches), round 1 (3:54)<\/p>\n
Iasmin Lucindo vs. Nicolle Caliari: Lucindo cut Caliari early with a left hook and then made it much worse with a spinning elbow. Caliari tried to grapple, but Lucindo was too big and strong for her. Lucindo did her best to make the cut even worse, but the doctors let Caliari keep going. Caliari was bothered by that good, though, and no answers for Lucindo after that.<\/p>\n
Official decision: Iasmin Lucindo def. Nicolle Caliari by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UFC 333 is a banger card with two extremely high level title fights for our main and co-main…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":944765,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,33601,638,82,322511,37643,139445,702],"class_list":["post-944764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc-333","tag-ufc-live-stream","tag-ufc-on-paramount","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=944764"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944764\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/944765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=944764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=944764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=944764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
