UFC 334: 10-fight octagon veteran saves bantamweight clash on Ciryl Gane vs. Josh Hokit fight card

UFC 334 will see veteran Alatengheili fill in for injured Adrian Yanez, stepping up to face Juan Diaz at Madison Square Garden on November 14. The 34-year-old is making his 11th appearance in the promotion, having recently claimed a split decision win over John Castaneda at UFC Vegas 121 in September. Known by the moniker "The Mongolian Knight," Alatengheili has experienced a mixed record in his past five fights, securing a victory via spinning back elbow as a Contender Series debutant in October 2025.

Diaz, riding a nine-fight winning streak, rewarded his impressive performance with a performance bonus at UFC Vegas 116 by submitting Malcolm Wellmaker with a dominant stoppage. The card will also feature a heavyweight title clash between Ciryl Gane and Josh Hokit, as well as Amanda Nunes defending her bantamweight title for the first time in a co-main event against the returning Kayla Harrison.
