Gane's Kickboxing Meets an Unbeaten Hokit at UFC 334
Gane (14-2) got here the hard way. He knocked out Alex Pereira to win the interim title, then became the full champion when Tom Aspinall vacated the belt while recovering from the eye injury he suffered in their fight at UFC 321.
Hokit (10-0) is the story of the year at heavyweight.
He only earned his contract on Dana White's Contender Series in August 2025, but he's 4-0 in the UFC with three finishes, including a TKO of Derrick Lewis on the same night Gane beat Pereira, and he picked up Performance and Fight of the Night bonuses for his win over Curtis Blaydes.
It's Gane's movement and kickboxing against a powerful, aggressive challenger who has finished three of his four UFC opponents.
That makes the method of victory market the one to watch, and the Gane vs Hokit odds will show how much the market trusts an unbeaten newcomer in his first title fight.

Harrison vs Nunes: The Co-Main Event
Harrison (19-1) won the bantamweight belt by submitting Julianna Peña at UFC 316, and this is her first defence.
The two-time Olympic judo gold medallist was supposed to fight Nunes earlier in the year, but injury and surgery pushed the date back.
Nunes (23-5) is widely regarded as the greatest female fighter in MMA history and retired after beating Irene Aldana at UFC 289.
She has beaten every bantamweight champion except Harrison, so this is the one name missing from her record, and more than three years out of the cage is the big question she has to answer.
