Watch UFC 334 with Paramount+
Main event: Ciryl Gane
- Record: 14-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC
- Opponent: Josh Hokit (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC)
- Division: Heavyweight
- Key wins: Alex Pereira, Alexander Volkov (twice), Serghei Spivac, Tai Tuivasa, Derrick Lewis, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Junior dos Santos, Tanner Boser, Don'Tale Mayes
- Misc.: It’s been a strange path to the heavyweight title for Gane. He won the interim title in 2021, but couldn’t beat Francis Ngannou to unify the title. After Ngannou left the UFC, he fought Jon Jones for the newly vacated belt and was submitted for the first time. His next shot at the title, against Tom Aspinall, resulted in what now are the most infamous eye pokes in MMA history, a no contest – and Gane’s eventual win over Pereira for his second interim title. When Aspinall vacated the title – still thanks to Gane’s eyepokes from ore than a year ago – Gane was elevated to full champ.
Main event: Josh Hokit
- Record: 10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC
- Opponent: Ciryl Gane (14-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC)
- Division: Heavyweight
- Key wins: Derrick Lewis, Curtis Blaydes
- Misc.: Hokit’s rise has been quick. A DWCS win got him a contract, and he won four bonuses in his first three UFC fights – including a double against Blaydes in April. At the UFC’s right wing bootlickapalooza in June, he took out Lewis and made this title shot something of an inevitability.
Co-main event: Kayla Harrison
- Record: 19-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC
- Opponent: Amanda Nunes (23-5 MMA, 16-2 UFC)
- Division: Women’s bantamweight
- Key wins: Julianna Peña, Ketlen Vieira, Holly Holm, Aspen Ladd, Kaitlin Young, Larissa Pacheco (twice)
- Misc.: Two-time judo Olympic gold medalist Harrison has been out now for 17 months – the longest layoff of her career. She was scheduled to fight Nunes in January this year, but pulled out when she needed surgery to repair herniated discs in her neck. How much will the layoff and surgery affect her?
Co-main event: Amanda Nunes
- Record: 23-5 MMA, 16-2 UFC
- Opponent: Kayla Harrison (19-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC)
- Division: Women’s bantamweight
- Key wins: Irene Aldana, Julianna Peña, Megan Anderson, Felicia Spencer, Germaine de Randamie (twice), Holly Holm, Cris Cyborg, Raquel Pennington, Valentina Shevchenko (twice), Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Sara McMann, Julia Budd
- Misc.: It’s been more than three years since Nunes walked away from the sport after a bantamweight title win over Aldana at UFC 289. It was her lone defense after she won the belt back from Peña, and her retirement – while she also was the women’s featherweight champ – was a shock. But she left American Top Team – Harrison’s training home – behind, started her own gym, and now is ready to recapture a belt.
