The UFC heavyweight championship will be on the line at Madison Square Garden on November 14 as Ciryl Gane defends his title against Josh Hokit. The co-main event features one of the most significant women's fights in history, with Kayla Harrison facing Amanda Nunes for the women's bantamweight belt.
The heavyweight division has stabilized after years of turbulence following Francis Ngannou's departure, Jon Jones' retirement, and Tom Aspinall's eye injury. Gane, who previously challenged all three men for the title, captured the belt by knocking out Alex Pereira at The White House and is now looking to increase his activity.
Hokit has risen from UFC debutant to title challenger in just one year. A victory would cap one of the most impressive first 12 months in promotion history, alongside names like Alex Pereira, Israel Adesanya, and Brock Lesnar. Despite polarizing antics, Hokit's Fight of the Year contender against Curtis Blaydes proved he is more than a spectacle.
Harrison brings two Olympic gold medals in judo, a UFC title, and two PFL tournament championships. Nunes is widely regarded as the greatest women's MMA athlete of all time, with victories over Ronda Rousey, Valentina Shevchenko (twice), Cris Cyborg, Holly Holm, Germaine de Randamie (twice), and Miesha Tate. Both women return from extended absences: Harrison after career-threatening neck surgery and Nunes after a three-year retirement.
The card also marks the final fight for longtime fan favorite Stephen Thompson, who faces Charles Radtke in a featured prelim bout. The full fight card with current odds includes: Ciryl Gane (c) -250 vs. Josh Hokit +205 (heavyweight title); Kayla Harrison -185 (c) vs. Amanda Nunes +154 (women's bantamweight title); Caio Borralho -155 vs. Yousri Belgaroui +130 (middleweight); Uros Medic -180 vs. Kevin Holland +150 (welterweight); Bilal Hasan -900 vs. Luis Gurule +600 (flyweight); plus additional bouts across multiple weight classes.
UFC 334 takes place on November 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The main card begins at 9 p.m. ET and will be streamed live on Paramount+, with subscriptions starting at $8.99 per month or $89.99 per year.
