Alex Pereira questions Ciryl Gane vs. Josh Hokit UFC 334 main event placement

Former UFC women's bantamweight champion Alex Pereira has expressed dissatisfaction with the main event lineup for UFC 334, scheduled to take place at Madison Square Garden in New York. Pereira questioned the decision to feature a women's bantamweight title super fight between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes as a co-main event, instead of the heavyweight bout between Ciryl Gane and Josh Hokit.

On social media, Pereira argued that the women's fight was not worthy of being the main event, stating, "Okay let me help promote this cause not one is payin attention to it..." Pereira, who recently lost to Gane in June, is set to face Sergei Pavlovich in the co-main event of UFC 335 on December 12 in Las Vegas. Hokit, Pereira's opponent, responded to the criticism on X (formerly Twitter), jokingly suggesting Pereira had lost his aura and intelligence.
