The UFC is back in the "Big Apple" for UFC 334, its 11th numbered event of the calendar year, and two of the biggest title fights of 2026 are at the top of the bill.
The popular "Embedded" fight week video series is here to document what's happening behind the scenes. UFC 334 (Paramount+) takes place Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York.
In the main event, Ciryl Gane (14-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) defends his heavyweight title for the first time since being promoted as undisputed champion when he meets top undefeated contender Josh Hokit (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC). And in the co-headliner, former two-division champion Amanda Nunes (23-5 MMA, 16-2 UFC) returns from retirement to challenge former friend and American Top Team stablemate Kayla Harrison (19-1
MMA, 3-0 UFC) for the women's bantamweight title.
