UFC 334: Gane vs Hokit Prediction and Betting Odds

UFC 334 will feature a bout for the UFC Heavyweight title as the headline fight, with Ciryl Gane defending against the unbeaten Josh Hokit.

The event takes place inside the Octagon at the famous Madison Square Garden in New York, taking place on Sunday, November 15, with the card getting underway from 09:00 AEDT.

Quick Picks

Our pick: Gane to win

Value bet: Gane by KO/TKO

Long shot: Gane to win by KO/TKO in Rounds 3 or 4

Tale of the Tape

Hokit is Gane’s first defence of the undisputed UFC heavyweight title. He won the interim belt by stopping Alex Pereira in June 2026, and was then elevated to undisputed champion in September after Tom Aspinall vacated the title.

With both being orthodox fighters, Gane will likely use straight punches, kicks, and lateral movement to control the range. Hokit, on the other hand, will likely look to close the distance, pin him against the fence, and force wrestling exchanges.

How do the two compare? Gane’s figures are first…

• Age - 36 vs 29
• Height - 6'4" (193cm) vs 6'1" (185cm)
• Stance - Orthodox vs Orthodox
• Record - 14-2-0 vs 10-0-0
• KO Record - 7 vs 6

Betting Markets to Watch

Gane is the favourite, and while American Hokit has risen rapidly through the UFC rankings and impressed against some established contenders, he has yet to face a striker of the fearsome Frenhman’s calibre. That said, Hokit cannot be overlooked, as he has not lost a fight yet.

However, Gane should be able to withstand the likely early pressure Hokit will apply, then use it to build his own momentum and secure a likely victory inside the Octagon.

His method of victory is where things are particularly interesting in the latest UFC fight odds, with the TKO/KO option favoured. His movement, distance management and more polished striking give him the edge, leaving Hokit potentially exposed.

By extension, each of Gane's last four five-round UFC fights have failed to go the distance, which is reflected in the odds of a stoppage victory.

Our prediction is that Gane is the likely winner, with the TKO/KO offering value.

As a long shot, picking the round in which Gane secures a stoppage could have value if he wins that way.

The ‘Ciryl Gane to win by KO/TKO in Rounds 3 or 4’ has value. Gane’s movement and accurate striking could slowly wear Hokit down, creating a stoppage opportunity as Hokit's entries become much more laboured and easy to read.
