UFC 334 takes place Saturday, November 14, 2026 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, with early prelims at 5 p.m. ET on UFC Fight Pass and Paramount+, prelims at 7 p.m. ET on Paramount+, and the main card at 9 p.m. ET on Paramount+. The card features 13 fights across three tiers, headlined by Ciryl Gane’s first UFC heavyweight title defense and a historic women’s bantamweight showdown between champion Kayla Harrison and former two-division champion Amanda Nunes.
Gane (14-2) puts his heavyweight title on the line against undefeated challenger Josh Hokit (10-0), a former Fresno State wrestler and ex-NFL practice squad player who has shot to a title shot in record time since winning his UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2025. Hokit’s UFC run includes wins over Max Gimenis, Denzel Freeman, and a decision over Curtis Blaydes, capped by a stoppage of Derrick Lewis in June 2026. Gane claimed the undisputed belt with a TKO of Alex Pereira at the White House event in June. The co-main event delivers a matchup years in the making: Harrison (19-1), the two-time Olympic judo gold medalist and current UFC bantamweight champion, faces Nunes (23-5), the former two-division UFC champion widely considered the greatest female fighter in the sport’s history. Nunes came out of retirement specifically to challenge Harrison, whose title reign began after joining the UFC in 2024 following a dominant run in the PFL.
Beyond the two title fights, UFC 334 carries significant storylines across the card. Welterweight veteran Stephen Thompson (17-9-1) steps into the octagon at MSG for what he has confirmed will be the final fight of his career, against Charles Radtke (12-5). The prelims open with Donte Johnson’s undefeated streak at 9-0 against Cesar Almeida, and the early prelims feature lightweight contenders Jared Gordon and Melquizael Costa in a Fight Pass headliner. Results update below after each fight concludes.
Main Card
Ciryl Gane vs. Josh Hokit
Heavyweight Championship, Main Event
Ciryl Gane (14-2) makes the first defense of his undisputed UFC heavyweight title against Josh Hokit (10-0) in the main event of UFC 334. Gane, the French heavyweight nicknamed “Bon Gamin,” claimed the undisputed title with a TKO of Alex Pereira at the White House card in June 2026, adding to his interim title run. He is a technical kickboxer with elite movement for a heavyweight, known for his ability to control range and avoid damage. Hokit is a former Fresno State wrestler who also spent time on the San Francisco 49ers’ practice squad. He went 4-0 in the UFC with four performance bonuses, including a first-round stoppage of Derrick Lewis in his most recent bout. Ranked fourth at heavyweight, Hokit reached this title shot faster than any Contender Series winner in UFC history. The contrasting styles, Gane’s technical kickboxing versus Hokit’s wrestling-based pressure game, set up an intriguing title fight at the Garden. Result pending.
Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes
Women’s Bantamweight Championship, Co-Main Event
Kayla Harrison (19-1) defends her UFC women’s bantamweight title against Amanda Nunes (23-5) in one of the most anticipated women’s MMA bouts in years. Harrison, a two-time Olympic judo gold medalist, dominated the PFL before joining the UFC in 2024 and capturing the bantamweight strap by mid-2025. This fight was originally booked for January 2026 but was postponed after Harrison underwent neck surgery. Nunes, nicknamed “The Lioness,” is the former simultaneous UFC bantamweight and featherweight champion who retired in 2023 before coming out of retirement specifically to challenge Harrison. The two trained at American Top Team at the same time but never shared the same coaches directly. At stake is the bantamweight title and, depending on the outcome, a profound moment in the legacy of women’s MMA. Result pending.
Caio Borralho vs. Yousri Belgaroui
Middleweight, Main Card
Caio Borralho (18-2) faces Yousri Belgaroui (11-3) in a middleweight main card bout. Borralho is the fifth-ranked middleweight and a member of the Fighting Nerds team, known for his pressure-based grappling game. He split bouts with Jared Cannonier and Nassourdine Imavov in 2025 before rebounding with a win over former ONE two-division champion Reinier de Ridder in March 2026. An injury cancelled a planned August fight with Joe Pyfer, pushing him to this November date. Belgaroui is a Tunisian kickboxer who went a combined 3-2 on Dana White’s Contender Series before earning a UFC contract as a free agent. He is a training partner of Alex Pereira and had a kickboxing trilogy with the former UFC champion in Glory, winning one of three. Belgaroui scored a short-notice win over Djorden Santos in September. A win for Borralho would position him for a potential title shot under Sean Strickland’s reign. Result pending.
Uros Medic vs. Kevin Holland
Welterweight, Main Card
Uros Medic (14-3) takes on Kevin Holland (29-15) in a welterweight main card fight. Medic, a Serbian fighter nicknamed “The Doctor” who trains at King’s MMA in Huntington Beach under Beneil Dariush, enters on a four-fight knockout streak. His most recent win came at UFC Belgrade on August 1, where he stopped Daniel Rodriguez despite fighting through a knee injury. The 12th-ranked welterweight is widely viewed as a future title contender. Holland, a veteran known for his striking versatility and self-described “chaos” style, is coming off a unanimous decision win over Randy Brown that ended a two-fight losing streak. Holland won that fight in October, resetting himself after back-to-back losses. The matchup pits Medic’s rising knockout momentum against Holland’s experience and striking range. Result pending.
Bilal Hasan vs. Luis Gurule
Flyweight, Main Card
Bilal Hasan (10-0) vs. Luis Gurule (11-4) in a flyweight main card bout. Hasan, an Indonesian fighter nicknamed “The Indo Ninja,” is one of the more rapidly rising prospects at 125 pounds. He stopped Mridul Saikia on Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2026 and followed that with a second-round knockout of Nilson Rojas at UFC Fight Night in Shanghai 18 days later. His unbeaten record and finishing ability have drawn attention in a division with deep UFC contenders. Gurule is a 11-4 flyweight who has previously competed at the UFC level and brings experience as a counter to Hasan’s momentum. Hasan’s perfect record and finishing rate make this a compelling main card appearance for a prospect pushing toward the 125-pound ranked tier. Result pending.
Prelims
Stephen Thompson vs. Charles Radtke
Welterweight, Prelims
Stephen Thompson (17-9-1) faces Charles Radtke (12-5) in what Thompson has confirmed will be the final fight of his MMA career. Thompson, nicknamed “Wonderboy” and one of the most technically gifted welterweights in UFC history, is 1-4 in his last five bouts with three straight losses, including a split decision defeat to Gabriel Bonfim in July 2025. He challenged for the welterweight title twice, drawing with Tyron Woodley at UFC 205 and losing the rematch at UFC 209, and built a career on elite karate-based striking. He has cited the emergence of younger divisional talent and his new role as a father as reasons for stepping away. Madison Square Garden, where he competed earlier in his career, provides the backdrop for his farewell. Radtke (12-5, 5-2 UFC) is 3-2 in his last five with two straight wins, including a decision over Francisco Prado in April. A win here puts Radtke on a three-fight winning streak and denies Thompson a final victory. Result pending.
Drew Dober vs. Chris Duncan
Lightweight, Prelims
Drew Dober (29-15) fights Chris Duncan (15-3) in a lightweight prelim. Dober, a veteran of nearly 45 professional fights, enters on a two-fight finishing streak after earning a Performance of the Night bonus for a second-round stoppage of Michael Johnson in March 2026. His record of 29-15 reflects a career spent near the top of a deep division, and his finishing ability remains sharp. Duncan, who competes under the name Christian Leroy Duncan, is 4-1 in his last five bouts in the UFC. He snapped a four-fight win streak with a rear-naked choke loss to Renato Moicano in April, and he now looks to rebound against Dober’s pressure and power. Result pending.
Jim Miller vs. Terrance McKinney
Lightweight, Prelims
Jim Miller (39-19) vs. Terrance McKinney (18-9) in a lightweight prelim catchweight bout after McKinney missed weight by 4.2 pounds. Miller, a UFC veteran in his 60th professional fight, earned a Performance of the Night bonus with a first-round guillotine over Jared Gordon at UFC 328 six months ago. With nearly 60 UFC appearances, Miller continues to compete at a high level in one of the sport’s deepest divisions. McKinney (18-9, 8-6 UFC) is in his 15th UFC bout and enters off a controversial loss to King Green in July, where the referee stopped the fight via ground and pound with one second left in the first round, a stoppage McKinney disputed. The catchweight removes the weight miss from the equation and sets up a scrappy lightweight contest between two fighters with high finishing rates. Result pending.
Donte Johnson vs. Cesar Almeida
Catchweight (190 lbs), Prelims
Donte Johnson (9-0) faces Cesar Almeida (7-3) in a catchweight middleweight bout opening the late prelims. Johnson is a perfect 9-0 and has gone 3-0 since joining the UFC, establishing himself as one of the more intriguing unbeaten prospects in the middleweight division. His combination of athleticism and finishing ability has drawn attention in a division undergoing a generational shift. Almeida (7-3, 3-3 UFC) has mixed results at the UFC level, going 3-3 through six appearances. A win for Johnson preserves his unbeaten record and further builds his case in the 185-pound contender conversation, while Almeida looks to register a significant win over a prospect with momentum. Result pending.
Early Prelims
Jared Gordon vs. Melquizael Costa
Lightweight, Early Prelims
Jared Gordon (21-9) vs. Melquizael Costa (26-8) in the early prelim headliner. Gordon (9-8, 1 NC in the UFC) is one of the UFC’s more veteran lightweights, known for his durable style and willingness to engage. His most recent result was a first-round guillotine loss to Jim Miller at UFC 328 in June. Costa (26-8, 7-3 UFC) is a Brazilian lightweight with broad finishing ability across both strikes and submissions. He has gone 7-3 through his UFC tenure, posting strong finishes in his wins. Both fighters bring lengthy UFC resumes and a need for a momentum-building victory on a card where early-card wins can establish positioning in a congested lightweight top 15. Result pending.
Bia Mesquita def. Macy Chiasson
Women’s Bantamweight, Early Prelims
Macy Chiasson (10-6) takes on Bia Mesquita (8-0) in a women’s bantamweight early prelim. Chiasson, ranked ninth in the division, has gone 8-6 in the UFC and has established herself as a tough gatekeeper at 135 pounds. She carries finishing power and a grinding style that has tested every opponent she has faced at this level. Mesquita (8-0, 3-0 UFC) is ranked 11th and has been perfect through three UFC appearances, bringing her undefeated record and grappling credentials to this matchup. The bout pits Chiasson’s experience and durability against Mesquita’s momentum and clean record. Bia Mesquita def. Macy Chiasson by Submission (Rear-Naked Choke), Round 1 (3:23).

Juan Diaz def. Alatengheili
Bantamweight, Early Prelims
Alatengheili (18-10-2) vs. Juan Diaz (16-1-1) in a bantamweight catchweight bout after Diaz missed the 135-pound limit. Alatengheili, a Chinese bantamweight veteran who goes by the nickname “The Eagle,” has been a consistent presence in the UFC’s 135-pound division with 18 wins across a long professional career. He is 6-3-1 in his UFC tenure and enters with solid experience against ranked competition. Diaz (16-1-1, 1-0 UFC) is in just his second UFC appearance after going 1-0 in the organization. His near-perfect record outside the UFC and his only UFC result, a win, make him a prospect with strong upside in a deep bantamweight tier. Juan Diaz def. Alatengheili by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27).
Evan Elder def. Samuel Sanches
Lightweight, Early Prelims
Evan Elder (10-2) opens UFC 334 against Samuel Sanches (11-1) in a lightweight early prelim. Elder (3-2 UFC) is a crafty lightweight who has gone 10-2 overall, with his UFC record reflecting a mix of competitive bouts against established talent. He has shown the ability to compete at the UFC level across five appearances. Sanches is making his UFC debut with an impressive 11-1 record, adding his name to a long list of debutants who have used the early prelim slot at major events to announce themselves on the biggest stage in MMA. The opener gives both men a chance to build early card momentum at one of the sport’s signature venues. Evan Elder def. Samuel Sanches by Unanimous Decision (30-26, 30-26, 30-26).
