Will Josh Hokit cap off a remarkable, albeit controversial, first year in the UFC by claiming gold from Ciryl Gane at UFC 334? Their five-round heavyweight championship bout takes place Saturday, November 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Hokit (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC), who’s undefeated, is looking for his fifth UFC win since making his promotional debut in November 2025. For better or worse, Hokit’s run has been aided by his willingness to make offensive remarks, including when he called former First Lady Michelle Obama a man. But it can’t be ignored that he 29-year-old also has come up with big wins over Curtis Blaydes in a Fight of the Year contender and Derrick Lewis at UFC Freedom 250 to secure his title shot.

Gane (14-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) will be defending the UFC heavyweight championship for the first time after claiming the interim title with a finish of Alex Pereira at UFC Freedom 250. Gane was recently promoted to undisputed champ after Tom Aspinall vacated the title because of severe eye pokes suffered in an October 2025 fight with Gane that resulted in a no-contest.
