This is how I would build UFC 333 if it were up to me. Swipe through and let me know what you think. #ufc #mma #alexandervolkanovski #maxholloway #aljamainsterling This one is clear It’s heavily speculated that this will be main event for this card and I think it’s the fight that has to happen Max needs a fight plain and simple. Although he said he probably won’t come back this year I think this would be a great opportunity for him as he hasn’t truly fought since UFC 326 and him vs Ruffy is an insanely interesting striking matchup Calling 0-800 ima whoop that ass Navajo Stirling called his shot and it makes perfect sense. 2 great strikers going at it with the winner potentially finding themselves in a number 1 contenders fight Both of these guys are at the top of the division. This could be the fight to get aljo to the title shot, and the same for goes for Murphy if he can find a finish Do I need to say more? Banger. Hope you guys enjoyed! Be sure to let me know how you’d make the card!!!
A fan-generated card proposal making the rounds on social media has put forward Alexander Volkanovski versus Max Holloway as the headliner for UFC 333, a matchup the post describes as one that "has to happen."
The suggestion comes from a fan rather than any official UFC source, and no bout agreement has been announced. The post frames the pairing as heavily speculated within the community, though it remains squarely in the realm of fan wishful thinking for now.
Volkanovski, 37, holds the featherweight championship and carries a 28-4-0 record. The Australian out of Freestyle Fighting Gym sits third in the pound-for-pound rankings and brings a striking accuracy of 57 percent alongside 5.99 significant strikes landed per minute. He also averages 1.63 takedowns per 15 minutes, making him a genuine two-dimensional threat.
Holloway, 34, is currently ranked fourth at lightweight and sits ninth pound-for-pound with a 28-9-0 record. The Hawaiian is one of the sport's most prolific volume strikers, averaging 6.92 significant strikes per minute, and the fan post notes he has not truly competed since UFC 326. The proposal frames a fourth meeting between the two as a natural next step for Holloway, who the poster suggests would benefit from a marquee opportunity despite having indicated he probably will not return this year.
Why it matters
- Volkanovski and Holloway have fought multiple times, and a fourth bout would carry significant historical weight in the featherweight and lightweight landscape.
- A win for either fighter in a cross-divisional context could carry contender implications depending on how the UFC frames the matchup.
- The stylistic overlap — two high-volume orthodox strikers — is precisely what makes the fan community so drawn to the idea.
