UFC 334 marked the promotion's 10th annual stop at Madison Square Garden in New York, and in the end, the two fights who entered as champions left with gold, as well.
In the headliner, Ciryl Gane (15-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) earned the first championship defense of his career when he went through an absolute war with Josh Hokit (10-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) to edge out a unanimous decision and keep hold of heavyweight gold. The judges weren't needed in the co-main event, though, because Kayla Harrison (20-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) managed to submit former teammate Amanda Nunes (23-6 MMA, 16-3 UFC) in the fourth round of their long-awaited women's bantamweight title showdown.
