UFC 333: Caliari’s 4.5 Pound Miss Changes the Lucindo Bout to Catchweight

Official weigh in proceedings on Friday, October 23, 2026, confirmed a weight miss for the UFC 333 preliminary card [1]. Nicolle Caliari weighed in at 120.5 pounds for her scheduled contest against Iasmin Lucindo [1] [2]. Lucindo weighed 115 pounds [1] [2]. Because the standard non title strawweight division limit is 116 pounds, Caliari missed the division limit by 4.5 pounds [1]. The resulting gap on the scale between the two fighters measures 5.5 pounds [1] [2]. Bettors tracking pre fight adjustments must keep that number distinct from the official miss amount. The official miss is 4.5 pounds over the 116 pound threshold [1]. The fight remains scheduled as a catchweight contest [2]. The UFC report says Caliari will forfeit 30 percent of her purse to Lucindo [1]. The 4.5 pound figure comes from 120.5 less 116, while the 5.5 pound figure comes from 120.5 less 115. The first comparison measures Caliari against the limit, and the second measures the two fighters against each other. Weigh In Results and Bout Condition Official UFC results list Caliari at 120.5 pounds and Lucindo at 115 pounds [1]. MMA Fighting describes the matchup as catchweight [2]. The 120.5 pound measurement placed Caliari 4.5 pounds above the 116 pound non title limit [1]. The UFC report says 30 percent of Caliari's purse goes to Lucindo [1]. The adjustment does not change the scheduled three round length of the contest [1]. Official UFC results say all bouts outside the main event and co main event are scheduled for three rounds [1]. Bettors reviewing card updates can separate the reported purse term from the published bout condition. UFC says the fight proceeds as scheduled [1], and MMA Fighting calls it catchweight [2]. The reports do not provide a reason for the miss, a performance forecast, or a completed result. They report changes to bout conditions, not an operator specific ticket. Check the written applicable terms for any operator specific question. Card Context and Scheduled Length UFC 333 is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, 2026, at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi [1] [2]. The Caliari and Lucindo pairing sits on the early preliminary portion of the card [1] [2]. The listed date and card position describe a pre fight schedule, not a completed contest. MMA Fighting reported that the other 27 fighters scheduled for the card made their required weight limits [2]. Alexander Volkanovski weighed 144.5 pounds and Movsar Evloev weighed 145 pounds for their featherweight championship bout [1] [2]. Petr Yan weighed 135 pounds and Merab Dvalishvili weighed 135 pounds for their bantamweight championship rematch [1] [2]. The 27 fighter count provides context for this particular exception, not evidence that Caliari’s miss changed the other matchups [2]. UFC lists the main event and co main event as five round contests and all other bouts as three round contests [1]. The Lucindo and Caliari pairing remains in that latter group. Its catchweight label changes the reported weight condition, while the published format still describes three scheduled rounds. The title fights are useful here only as a contrast: their competitors met weight, and their longer scheduled format belongs to those contests, not to this early preliminary bout. None of those administrative facts establishes how long a fight will actually last. Practical Record for Fight Cards Scale misses introduce a documented change in bout conditions. The reports here identify the weights, division limit, stated purse transfer, scheduled continuation, and catchweight label [1] [2]. These details record the published status of this pairing at the weigh in stage. Friday’s published measurements concern a card scheduled for Saturday [1] [2]. That sequence identifies the update as pre fight information. A later official update would be separate information, so the weigh in report should not be used to describe a completed event. The reports change the bout conditions. They do not settle an operator specific ticket. Readers should check the written applicable terms before relying on any operator specific treatment. The catchweight label records an administrative bout condition [2]. Caliari's 120.5 pound weight is 4.5 pounds above the limit and 5.5 pounds above Lucindo's measurement, so the two calculations remain distinct [1]. The reports confirm the miss, purse transfer, and scheduled three round distance without supplying a performance forecast [1] [2]. SBA Takeaway Caliari missed the non title strawweight limit by 4.5 pounds, creating a separate 5.5 pound scale gap against Lucindo [1]. UFC says 30 percent of Caliari's purse goes to Lucindo and that the fight proceeds as scheduled [1]. MMA Fighting identifies the pairing as catchweight [2]. For this Saturday card at Etihad Arena, treat those points as a scheduled bout condition update and check the written applicable terms for any operator specific question.
