UFC 333's free fight marathon puts past bouts before the headliner
Full-fight replays draw an unusually large audience as Volkanovski-Evloev preparations fill the channel.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 3,277,974 views a day, 18 times a normal first day on this channel (178,563).
UFC 333: Free Fight Marathon
UFC is giving viewers a longer look at the fighters on its Volkanovski-Evloev card, with complete past bouts rather than a quick highlights reel. "UFC 333: Free Fight Marathon" reached about 1.4 million views in seven hours, a markedly faster start than the channel usually sees for its long videos and streams.
This is a replay collection featuring fighters competing at UFC 333, not a live broadcast of the card itself. The appeal is a different kind of preparation: full fights leave room for the rounds, adjustments and exchanges that a finishing-move clip cuts away.
The marathon is drawing the largest audience of the channel's three fast-starting UFC 333 uploads. The ceremonial weigh-in and "UFC 333 Embedded: Vlog Series - Episode 5" are also running well ahead of their usual starts in their respective formats.
That Embedded episode supplies the other side of fight preparation: media-day cameras, open workouts, Merab Dvalishvili getting ready for the press conference and Alexander Volkanovski training outdoors. Episode 6, posted afterward, moves into weight cuts, official weigh-ins and the ceremonial faceoffs. The marathon turns back from those final preparations to the fights that came before.
