Volkanovski and Evloev deadlocked in UFC 333 odds as Yan favoured in Dvalishvili trilogy

Alexander Volkanovski and Movsar Evloev are listed at identical -110 odds ahead of their featherweight title fight at UFC 333, signalling that bookmakers consider the 24 October bout at Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi a genuine coin-flip. Bantamweight champion Petr Yan enters his trilogy with Merab Dvalishvili as a -180 favourite, with Dvalishvili priced at +155.

The even-money line on Volkanovski is notable given the Australian’s standing as one of the sport’s pound-for-pound elite. Evloev, unbeaten inside the UFC, has built a compelling case as a legitimate title challenger, and the market appears to be acknowledging that record.

In the co-main event, Yan’s -180 price reflects his experience advantage heading into a third meeting with Dvalishvili. The Georgian-American wrestler pushed Yan hard in their previous encounters, and the relatively modest favourite’s margin suggests oddsmakers expect another competitive night.

Elsewhere on the card, Abdul-Rakhman Yakhyaev carries the steepest line at -450 against Nikita Krylov (+355), making him the heaviest favourite among the nine matchups listed as of 14 October. Azamat Murzakanov is a -205 favourite over former light heavyweight title challenger Dominick Reyes (+175), while Alexander Volkov is priced at -130 against Rizvan Kuniev (+110).
