Summary
Madison Square Garden hosts Saturday's UFC 334 main event after Ciryl Gane and Josh Hokit completed an intense final ceremonial-weigh-in faceoff Friday night in New York.
Gane enters at 14-2 and is making the first defense of the undisputed heavyweight title, while Hokit brings a 10-0 record and a 4-0 UFC start into his first shot at gold.
The title picture shifted after Gane beat Alex Pereira for the interim belt in June, then was elevated when Tom Aspinall vacated the championship because of lingering eye issues from their October 2025 no contest.
For the division, the bout will either establish Gane's reign with a first successful defense or install Hokit as a new unbeaten champion.
