UFC 333 promises to deliver one of the year's most exciting fight cards in Abu Dhabi this Saturday, showcasing a mix of established contenders and emerging talents.

The card features several closely matched fights, with two main events being betting pick'ems. The co-main event sees Petr Yan as a slight favorite against Merab Dvalishvili in their trilogy clash, indicating that even the top fighters face stiff competition.

As fans gear up for the event, here are three non-title fights to watch:

• Aaron Pico vs. Losene Keita
  After a tumultuous journey, Aaron Pico aims to solidify his status in the UFC following a significant victory over Patricio Pitbull. Originally set to face Arnold Allen, he now battles Keita, a former two-division champion with an impressive knockout record. Both fighters bring a combined 20 KO victories, making this an explosive matchup.

• Lone'er Kavanagh vs. Ramazan Temirov
  The flyweight division is evolving, and Lone'er Kavanagh is at the forefront after upsetting former champion Brandon Moreno. However, he faces Temirov, a powerful KO artist from Uzbekistan, who has already made waves in the division. This fight could either end quickly or unfold into a thrilling three-round battle.

• Alexander Volkov vs. Rizvan Kuniev
  Veteran heavyweight Alexander Volkov looks to prove his worth against Rizvan Kuniev, who has rapidly ascended the ranks. A win for Kuniev could catapult him into title contention, while Volkov needs to remind fans of his finishing ability, having not secured a stoppage in three years.

With the heavyweight division heating up and several contenders vying for attention, UFC 333 is set to be a pivotal moment for these fighters.
