Noah Gugnon vs Kody Steele appears to be the final reported addition to UFC 333.
Alexander Volkanovski had to wait longer than he would have liked for his next featherweight title defense.
However, ‘The Great’ now has just over twenty days until he will headline the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on a card that boasts two title fights.
UFC 333 may have lost Arnold Allen vs Aaron Pico, but it has recently gained several more bouts in order to fill out the bout order.
