In the United Kingdom and across Europe, the event airs on the UFC’s official broadcast partners in each territory; fans should check their local UFC listing for the exact channel. Tickets for the Madison Square Garden card went on sale in late September 2026: a UFC Fight Club presale on September 23, a UFC newsletter presale on September 24, and general on-sale on September 25.
Main card
Ciryl Gane (14-2, 1 no contest) became the UFC’s undisputed heavyweight champion (265 lbs / 120.2 kg) after Tom Aspinall vacated the belt for lingering medical complications in September 2026. Gane had won the interim title in June by TKO over Alex Pereira. He now makes his first defense against Josh Hokit (USA), unbeaten in 10 professional fights.
In the co-main event, bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison (USA), 19-1, defends her title (135 lbs / 61.2 kg) against Brazilian legend Amanda Nunes, 23-5. Joselyne Edwards (USA) has been named official backup for the title fight. Nunes, a two-division UFC champion before retiring and then returning to competition, is chasing one of the few belts that eluded her during her first run.
The rest of the main card features Caio Borralho against Yousri Belgaroui at middleweight (185 lbs / 83.9 kg), Uros Medic against Kevin Holland (USA) at welterweight (170 lbs / 77.1 kg), and Bilal Hasan against Luis Gurule (USA) at flyweight (125 lbs / 56.7 kg).
Prelims
The prelims pair Stephen Thompson (USA) against Charles Radtke (USA) and Drew Dober (USA) against Chris Duncan at welterweight and lightweight, plus Jim Miller (USA) against Terrance McKinney (USA) at lightweight and Donte Johnson (USA) against Cesar Almeida at middleweight.
The early prelims feature Macy Chiasson (USA) against Bia Mesquita at women’s bantamweight, Adrian Yanez (USA) against Juan Diaz (USA) at bantamweight, and Nazim Sadykhov against Jefferson Nascimento at lightweight.
Americans on the card
The UFC 334 card is heavy on American talent outside the main event. Josh Hokit challenges for the heaviest title in the sport, while Kayla Harrison defends her belt at home. Stephen Thompson, a former title challenger, headlines the prelims against Charles Radtke, and lightweight veteran Jim Miller continues one of the division’s longest active careers against Terrance McKinney. Drew Dober, Donte Johnson, Macy Chiasson, Adrian Yanez, Juan Diaz and Luis Gurule round out a deep American presence on the card.
What is at stake
Gane becomes undisputed champion without having to fight for it in the cage: Tom Aspinall’s withdrawal, cited as lingering medical complications, elevated him after his June knockout win over Alex Pereira for the interim belt. Hokit, unbeaten in 10 fights, is trying to become the first man to hand Gane a loss by stoppage since his decision defeat to Francis Ngannou and submission loss to Jon Jones.
Harrison defends her bantamweight title for the first time against one of women’s MMA’s most decorated champions, Amanda Nunes, who returned from retirement for this run. Joselyne Edwards, the official backup, would step in only in case of a late withdrawal by either woman.
Gane has built his career as a striker first, with seven of his 14 wins coming by knockout or TKO. Our ranking of 4oz MMA fight gloves by brand covers the models used at this level of competition.
