UFC 334 brings thirteen fights to Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday night. Kayla Harrison puts her women’s bantamweight title on the line against Amanda Nunes in the co-main event, while Ciryl Gane defends his heavyweight title against unbeaten American Josh Hokit.
How to Watch in the US
The entire card, from the first early prelim to the main event, streams exclusively on Paramount+, and a subscription is required to watch any part of it. Early prelims start at 5 p.m. ET (2 p.m. PT), prelims follow at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT), and the main card begins at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT).
The Main Card
Josh Hokit (10-0) is unbeaten as a professional, ranked fourth among UFC heavyweight contenders, and is fighting in his first main event. The 28-year-old earned his contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2025, then beat Derrick Lewis by TKO at UFC Freedom 250 for his fourth Octagon win since that November. He carries four Performance Bonuses into the fight, including a Fight of the Night award against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 327. He now challenges Ciryl Gane (14-2, 1 no contest), who became the undisputed heavyweight champion after Tom Aspinall vacated the belt. Aspinall said he had reinjured his right eye in training and needed fresh medical clearance before a rematch could be booked. “I’ve asked the UFC to allow me to make this statement because I don’t want to hold the heavyweight division up,” Aspinall said. Gane had already won the interim title by beating Alex Pereira on June 14 at a UFC event held at the White House in Washington.
Kayla Harrison (19-1) makes the first defense of the bantamweight title she won by submitting Julianna Peña at UFC 316. The two-time Olympic gold medalist was long regarded as the best women’s fighter outside the UFC before debuting at UFC 300 with a submission of Holly Holm, then beating Ketlen Vieira six months later. She had been scheduled to face Nunes at UFC 324 but withdrew for surgery. Amanda Nunes (23-5), widely regarded as the greatest female fighter in MMA history, is back for her first fight in more than three years since retiring in June 2023. She has beaten every other bantamweight champion in UFC history, and her last outing was a win over former boxer Irene Aldana at UFC 289.
The main card also features three other bouts: Caio Borralho, the promotion’s fifth-ranked middleweight, against Yousri Belgaroui; Uroš Medić, ranked No. 12 at welterweight, against Kevin Holland; and Bilal Hasan against Luis Gurule at flyweight. In total, the card runs five main card bouts, four preliminary fights and four early prelims, thirteen fights in all.
The Preliminary Card
Four fights make up the preliminary card: Stephen Thompson against Charles Radtke at welterweight, Drew Dober against Chris Duncan and Jim Miller against Terrance McKinney at lightweight, and Donte Johnson against Cesar Almeida at middleweight. The early prelims add four more: Jared Gordon against Melquizael Costa and Evan Elder against Samuel Sanches at lightweight, Macy Chiasson against Beatriz Mesquita at women’s bantamweight, and Alateng Heili against Juan Diaz at bantamweight. Heili, a 34-year-old from Mongolia making his 11th Octagon appearance, enters off a September win over John Castaneda at UFC Vegas 121.
International Start Times
For fans in the United Kingdom, early prelims start at 10 p.m. local time, prelims follow at midnight, and the main card begins at 2 a.m. on Sunday. In Central Europe, including France, Belgium and Switzerland, those same fights start at 11 p.m., 1 a.m. and 3 a.m., with Gane and Hokit expected to walk out around 5 or 6 a.m. depending on how the earlier fights run.
Why This Card Matters
Hokit is still chasing his first UFC title, while Gane defends the undisputed heavyweight belt for the first time since unifying it. UFC 334 is the tenth UFC event held at Madison Square Garden and the thirteenth in New York City, coming almost exactly one year after UFC 322 at the same arena, where Islam Makhachev beat Jack Della Maddalena by unanimous decision on November 15, 2025.
