Dana White Confirms UFC 333 Will Proceed in Abu Dhabi

UFC CEO Dana White confirmed that the promotion intends to move forward with UFC 333 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on October 24. Despite ongoing regional conflict and a current Level 3 travel advisory from the U.S. Department of State for the United Arab Emirates, White dismissed the possibility of a backup venue.

White emphasized that the organization remains committed to its schedule in the region, which includes future events for the UFC, Power Slap, and WWE. The promotion expects staff and fighters to arrive in Abu Dhabi in the coming days as planned.
