Rashad Evans: Ciryl Gane can 'right the wrongs' of Jon Jones loss at UFC 334
Hall of Famer Rashad Evans says UFC 334 is a "huge test" for Ciryl Gane, and Josh Hokit might make him fail.
UFC Hall of Famer Rashad Evans believes Ciryl Gane will be put to the test at UFC 334, where he will face unbeaten challenger Josh Hokit in the main event. Gane, the current defending champion, has not been defeated since his loss to Jon Jones at UFC 285 in March 2023. Evans stated that Gane has the chance to demonstrate his ability to handle a high-level wrestler and solidify his standing in the sport.
He added that Gane's grappling skills and ability to deal with a high-pressure opponent will be crucial in this fight. Hokit, on the other hand, possesses formidable striking ability but may be vulnerable if he becomes reckless. Evans predicts that Hokit's relentless pace could ultimately wear down Gane and lead to a victory. Despite his admiration for Gane's fighting style, Evans leans towards a win for Hokit.
