Abu Dhabi has hosted multiple major UFC cards in recent years, cementing its place as a regular fixture on the organisation's regional calendar. UFC president Dana White recently described Abu Dhabi as "a very special place" for the promotion, pointing to the long-running partnership between UFC and the emirate. With two championship bouts on a single card, UFC 333 stands out as one of the most closely watched combat sports events in the region this year.
