UFC 334: Two Title Fights, Two Fighters Miss Weight
Gane vs Hokit and Harrison vs Nunes headline UFC 334 in New York. Two other fighters missed weight at the official weigh-in.
Two titles are on the line at UFC 334 in New York’s Madison Square Garden on Saturday. Heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane faces undefeated challenger Josh Hokit in the main event. Before that, Kayla Harrison defends her bantamweight belt against Amanda Nunes, who returns to the Octagon after more than three years away. All four fighters made weight for their respective title bouts.
Gane’s first heavyweight title defense
Gane enters the main event as the undisputed champion. The UFC lists his record at 14 wins, two losses and one no contest. Hokit is unbeaten at 10-0. He earned his UFC contract through Dana White’s Contender Series in 2025 and now gets a title shot little more than a year later. This is Gane’s first defense of the heavyweight belt.
Nunes challenges Harrison
Harrison makes her first bantamweight title defense in the co-main event. Nunes, a former bantamweight and featherweight champion, retired in 2023 and now returns directly to a title fight. The matchup had initially been planned for early 2026 but was postponed after Harrison underwent surgery.
McKinney and Diaz miss weight
Elsewhere on the card, Terrance McKinney weighed 160.2 pounds for his lightweight bout with Jim Miller, above the 156-pound limit. Juan Diaz weighed 136.4 pounds for his bantamweight fight with Alatengheili, 0.4 pounds over the limit. Both fights remain scheduled. According to the UFC, McKinney forfeits 30 percent of his purse and Diaz 20 percent to their respective opponents.
