Aryna Sabalenka UFC 333 Abu Dhabi Mauricio Macri Etihad Arena

Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka was spotted ringside at the UFC 333 event held at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The Belarusian athlete, currently ranked world number two, attended the mixed martial arts spectacle during a break in her preparations for the upcoming WTA Finals in Indian Wells.

During the live broadcast, Sabalenka gained media attention when the television graphics and commentator Jon Anik mistakenly referred to her as “Aryna Sabalenko.” The tennis champion reacted to the misspelling with humor. While in the VIP area, she was seen posing for a photograph with former Argentine President Mauricio Macri.

The event featured several high-profile fights, including Alexander Volkanovski’s knockout victory over Movsar Evloev to defend his featherweight title, and Petr Yan’s decision win against Merab Dvalishvili.
