Ciryl Gane vs. Josh Hokit set for UFC 334; Gane promoted to undisputed heavyweight champ after all
The news arrives less than 24 hours after UFC CEO Dana White publicly pooh-poohed the idea of Gane being promoted to undisputed champion without fighting another bout.
Ciryl Gane has been promoted to undisputed UFC heavyweight champion after Tom Aspinall vacated the title due to eye injuries. The newly crowned champion will defend his title for the first time on November 14 at UFC 334 in Madison Square Garden, facing polarizing contender Josh Hokit. Gane, a two-time interim champion, was elevated to undisputed status following Aspinall's surrender of the belt.
The women's bantamweight title fight between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes has been rescheduled for the co-main event of UFC 334.
