UFC's Abu Dhabi buildup makes room for dogs and ice baths
Embedded follows Volkanovski, Dvalishvili and Evloev between training sessions, while a fight compilation approaches a million views.

GREATEST FIGHTS FROM UFC 333 Fighters 🐫
Lone'er Kavanagh finishes training, then takes dogs out for the night. Alexander Volkov gets a haircut. Kody Steele answers questions from an ice bath. UFC's latest Abu Dhabi buildup has plenty of fighting to revisit, but its Embedded episodes also leave room for the errands and downtime around the gym.
Across fifteen uploads this week, the biggest new draw was "GREATEST FIGHTS FROM UFC 333 Fighters 🐫", a compilation showcasing fighters on the card. It reached roughly 933,000 views within sixteen hours and carries the most daily momentum on the channel. The title bills these as the greatest fights; the appeal is a chance to revisit the participants' work before their next appearance.
Embedded supplies the change of scenery. Episode 2 follows Alexander Volkanovski's morning in the UAE, Movsar Evloev having breakfast with his team and Dominick Reyes taking his family to the lake. Episode 3 brings Merab Dvalishvili to the UAE and then Khabib's gym, while Volkanovski meets fans. That third installment is the next busiest upload by daily views, followed by the intriguingly question-marked "Volkanovski vs Gaethje? #ufc333".
The audience grew by about 100,000 subscribers over the week, and daily viewing is currently well above UFC's usual pace. Among the nearby combat-sports channels, UFC recorded the largest weekly view gain. Top Rank Boxing is also seeing elevated daily viewing, while GLORY Kickboxing and Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship are running below their usual daily levels.
Alongside the travel diary, "Movsar Evloev's Career So Far #ufc333" gives the buildup a dedicated fighter retrospective, and "Petr Yan's custom shorts! #ufc333" turns attention from the training room to the kit.
