UFC 334: Ciryl Gane vs Josh Hokit, main card predictions

Main event: Ciryl Gane vs. Josh Hokit

The heavyweight title fight between Ciryl Gane and Josh Hokit is a highly anticipated matchup. Gane, the interim champion, defeated Alex Pereira by second-round TKO at UFC Freedom 250. Following a hiatus due to eye complications, Gane has been upgraded to undisputed champion. Hokit, one of the fastest-rising contenders, made his UFC debut in January 2026 and was headlining a numbered event at Madison Square Garden just under 11 months later.

The fight should be a mismatch for Hokit due to Gane's speed, elite footwork, and superior jab. Unless there's a quick finish in the first round, Gane should be able to control the fight at his pace and likely secure a fourth-round TKO victory.

Co-main event: Kayla Harrison vs Amanda Nunes

Both fighters in this co-main event are returning after long absences. Amanda Nunes, the reigning women's bantamweight champion, is back after a hiatus since 2023, while Kayla Harrison, who has been recovering from neck surgery, is expected to be at her best. Nunes has dominated her opponents with her striking power and technique, while Harrison brings her Olympic judo background and top control to the table.

The fight will likely go to the ground, and while Nunes has the striking advantage, Harrison's wrestling skills could pose a challenge. Considering her superior physical condition and striking ability, the final prediction is that Amanda Nunes will prevail via unanimous decision.
