UFC 334: Gane vs Hokit start time, card and how to watch fights this weekend
Ciryl Gane defends the heavyweight title against the divisive Josh Hokit, after Kayla Harrison fights Amanda Nunes in one of the biggest women’s bouts in MMA history
Josh Hokit is ready to do whatever it takes to defeat Ciryl Gane in their UFC 334 heavyweight bout. The 28-year-old former NFL player, who has only fought four times in the UFC, has vowed to cross any ethical lines if necessary. "I believe all things are fair when it comes to war," Hokit stated, expressing no qualms about striking Gane where it hurts, whether that means eye-pokes, low blows, or head strikes.
He emphasized that Gane, the reigning champion, started the physical altercation, so Hokit will reciprocate with equal vigor. Despite Gane's experience and reputation for dirty fighting, Hokit remains confident, noting that Gane's options for defense are limited. Hokit's aggressive approach mirrors his early UFC fights, where he has demonstrated resilience and willingness to go the distance.
His decision to train at JacksonWink MMA's dormitory, where he pays only $1,000 to live during fight camps, underscores his commitment to the challenge ahead. Despite the possibility of a title win, Hokit remains grounded, acknowledging that the journey has been about more than just the prize.
