Ultimate Fighting Championship ventured to Madison Square Garden in New York City for “UFC 334” on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, according to “Yahoo Sports”.
Twin title fights topped the promotion’s return to MSG for an exciting night of action.
In the main event, Ciryl Gane aimed for the first defense of his heavyweight crown opposite divisional upstart Josh Hokit.
Amanda Nunes returned after nearly three years on the sidelines in an attempt to recapture her bantamweight crown from Judo Olympian Kayla Harrison.
Gane started strong in what became an outstanding scrap and the best heavyweight fight in quite some time, per “the sources”.
Hokit wrestled right away and forced Gane onto the back foot immediately.
By the third round, Hokit was dictating the pace and landing the better shots.
In round four, Gane made a decision that changed the entire fight by standing his ground and putting more weight into his strikes.
Hokit may have kept his poker face through all those jabs early, but he could not hide his reaction to the knees.
In the face of Hokit’s pressure, the champion walked away with the belt.
As for Hokit, his game was incredibly limited while his inexperience was glaringly obvious at times.
Yet, it is hard not to be impressed by Hokit, who will likely win a title at some point.
In the women’s bantamweight bout, Nunes’ decision-making was unbelievably awful as she repeatedly engaged in offensive wrestling.
For three straight rounds, Nunes was punished for her insistence on hanging around in the clinch.
Harrison pulled off a sudden rear naked choke in a well-executed sequence.
Harrison executed part of the American Top Team game plan to parry Nunes’ front kick and wrestle off that entrance.
In another matchup, Kevin Holland faced Uros Medic in a welterweight bout at Madison Square Garden.
Medic surged forward and was hurt in return by Holland’s sneaky power and lanky uppercuts.
Holland nearly locked up a d’arce choke to secure the first-round finish, but Medic showed unexpected composure and ground skills to avoid tapping out.
