Fight fans, mark your calendars: UFC 333 is heading to Etihad Arena on Yas Island on Saturday October 24, 2026, with another huge event set for the UAE capital. First announced in July 2026, tickets are now on sale via Ticketmaster.ae, priced from Dhs495. Reserved seating ranges from Dhs495 to Dhs2,595 per ticket, while aisle seating starts from Dhs595 up to Dhs14,695. Platinum tickets are priced from Dhs1,100 to Dhs32,000, depending on where you want to sit, while ringside seats range from Dhs6,595 to Dhs14,595. The announcement comes almost exactly one year after UFC 321 took place in Abu Dhabi on October 25, 2025. The night’s main event between Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane ended in a no contest after an accidental eye poke forced the fight to be stopped, meaning Aspinall retained his heavyweight title. Since then, Abu Dhabi has continued to prove why it has become one of the UFC’s favourite destinations outside the US, regularly welcoming some of the biggest names in mixed martial arts to the capital. The Octagon has been busy in Abu Dhabi over the past year. Fans were treated to Reinier de Ridder vs Robert Whittaker, before the action returned once again for UFC Fight Night: Magomed Ankalaev vs Bogdan Guskov, which took place last month. Abu Dhabi has become a regular stop on the UFC calendar, attracting fans from around the world each time the Octagon lands on Yas Island. In fact, UFC has staged more than 20 events in Abu Dhabi since 2010, making it a fixture on the region’s sporting calendar.
