UFC 334 Main Card Loaded With Two Title Fights and Wonderboy's Farewell
Gane-Hokit and Harrison-Nunes headline at MSG on November 14, with Stephen Thompson fighting his last fight.
The UFC has filled out the main card for UFC 334 at Madison Square Garden on November 14, and it reads like a November sweeps event. Two title fights and a retirement bout anchor a card that might be the biggest of 2026's final stretch.
Circyl Gane defends the undisputed heavyweight title against undefeated Josh Hokit in the main event. Gane was elevated to undisputed champion after Tom Aspinall vacated due to an ongoing eye injury, having previously won the interim belt by stopping Alex Pereira in the second round at UFC Freedom 250. Hokit, still unbeaten, represents the kind of unknown variable that makes heavyweight fights appointment viewing. Gane's response to the booking was brief: "Let's get it."
The co-main event features Kayla Harrison defending her women's bantamweight title against Amanda Nunes. Nunes, widely regarded as the greatest female fighter in MMA history, returns at 38 after a three-year absence. Harrison is coming back from emergency neck surgery earlier this year and has been training in full ahead of the bout, per recent reports.
The third marquee fight is Stephen Thompson's retirement bout against Charles Radtke. Wonderboy has been one of the most respected strikers in welterweight history, and the UFC is giving him the MSG sendoff.
The rest of the main card includes Caio Borralho against Yousri Belgaroui at middleweight, Uros Medic versus Kevin Holland at welterweight, and Drew Dober facing Chris Duncan at lightweight. The card carries twelve total bouts and airs on Paramount+.
This is a real Garden card. Gane against an unbeaten Hokit for the undisputed heavyweight belt, Harrison against Nunes for the women's bantamweight title, and Wonderboy getting a proper MSG sendoff. That is three fights I would pay for on their own.
The co-main is the one I keep thinking about. Nunes is 38 and three years gone. Harrison is coming off emergency neck surgery. Both of them have every reason to look a step slow, and yet it is still the most interesting women's fight the UFC can make. My gut says Harrison, because the layoff at 38 is a bigger problem than a surgery you have been cleared from. But nobody should be shocked if the greatest ever reminds everyone why she is called that.
Gane-Hokit is a mystery box. Gane has never been a clean finisher of a title fight, and Hokit is unknown enough to be dangerous. And Thompson against Radtke on the way out is the kind of booking that makes me happy. Give the man his night.
