UFC 334 Card Breakdown: Gane–Hokit, Harrison–Nunes and the Matchups That Defined the Night

Updated: November 15, 2026, 4:07 a.m. UTC. UFC 334 took place Saturday, November 14, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The event was built around two championship bouts: Ciryl Gane vs. Josh Hokit for the heavyweight title and Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes for the women’s bantamweight title. UFC’s event listing confirms the date, venue and matchups; its official scorecards page is the place to check verified outcomes.

For Canadian fans searching “UFC tonight,” the key context is that this is now a post-event card breakdown, not a preview of an upcoming fight. The most useful way to understand the lineup is through its central questions: whether Gane’s technical striking could manage Hokit’s wrestling pressure, whether Harrison could impose her grappling against Nunes, and which supporting bouts could change the divisions’ next steps.

What were the UFC 334 main event matchups?

Gane–Hokit put two very different heavyweight approaches in the spotlight. Gane, a mobile kickboxer known for range management and footwork, faced Hokit, an undefeated fighter whose wrestling background offered a clear route to disrupt that rhythm. For Hokit, the central challenge was turning pressure and takedown attempts into sustained control without absorbing damaging counters on the way in. For Gane, distance and movement were essential: keeping the contest at striking range could make Hokit work harder to close space and reduce the time available for clinch or ground attacks.

The title stakes made that contrast especially significant. Gane had the experience of competing at the top of the heavyweight division, while Hokit entered with the momentum of an unbeaten run. Their records going into the event were reported as 14-2 with one no contest for Gane and 10-0 for Hokit. Records describe past results, though; they do not predict how a matchup will unfold.

Why was Harrison vs. Nunes a major co-main event?

Harrison and Nunes brought elite grappling credentials and championship experience to the women’s bantamweight title fight. Harrison’s judo and wrestling offered a direct path to clinches, takedowns and top control. Nunes’ reputation as a powerful, well-rounded striker made her dangerous whenever she could keep the fight standing and create room for combinations. That made early positioning a key tactical question: could Harrison get to her preferred grappling exchanges, or could Nunes make her pay for entries?

The bout also carried a broader division impact. Harrison’s title status and Nunes’ standing as a former champion gave the matchup significance beyond a routine contender fight. Going into UFC 334, the reported professional records were 19-1 for Harrison and 23-5 for Nunes. Those figures are pre-fight records and should not be read as current post-event totals.

Which supporting fights added context to the card?

The remaining bouts gave viewers several distinct styles and career stories to track. Middleweights Caio Borralho and Yousri Belgaroui offered a ranked test with potential implications for the division’s next contender queue. At welterweight, Uroš Medić vs. Kevin Holland paired a finishing-minded striker with an experienced, improvisational opponent. Stephen Thompson vs. Charles Radtke added a veteran-versus-rising-opponent dynamic, while the lightweight bout between Jim Miller and Terrance McKinney brought contrasting generations and pace.

Other matchups included Drew Dober vs. Chris Duncan, Cesar Almeida vs. Donte Johnson, Jared Gordon vs. Melquizael Costa, Macy Chiasson vs. Bia Mesquita and Juan Diaz vs. Alatengheili. UFC’s event listing and scorecards provide the authoritative card and official outcomes. Bout order can change, so a published card should not be treated as a guarantee of the sequence in which fights took place.

When and where did UFC 334 take place?

The UFC event page lists Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York. The event’s listed main-card start was 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−05:00), which is 2:00 a.m. UTC on Sunday, Nov. 15. Canada spans multiple time zones; viewers in other regions should convert from the stated New York time for the event date. Since UFC 334 has concluded, check the official scorecards page for verified results rather than relying on a live schedule.

What should fans take away from the UFC 334 card?

The lineup’s appeal came from its two sharply contrasting title tests: Gane’s movement against Hokit’s pressure, and Harrison’s grappling against Nunes’ striking. The supporting bouts added prospects, established contenders and a veteran farewell storyline, giving the event more than two headline attractions. What those fights mean for future rankings or title opportunities depends on the official outcomes and subsequent UFC matchmaking; those next steps should be treated as unsettled until announced.
