It all goes down tomorrow night (Sat., Nov. 14, 2026) at UFC 334 LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Madison Square Garden in New York City, but first fighters took to the stage during Friday’s ceremonial weigh ins for one final staredown.
Leading the way tomorrow night will be a main event heavyweight clash between undisputed champion Ciryl Gane and top contender Josh Hokit. It’s not the most attractive matchup in the division, but Hokit’s lobbying and success inside of the Octagon have earned him a shot at UFC gold. Gane will be looking to defend the title for the first time after inheriting it following Tom Aspinall’s second eye injury earlier this year.
In the co-main event, women’s MMA legend Amanda Nunes will make her return to the cage for the first time in over three years when she battles former training partner and current UFC women’s bantamweight champion, Kayla Harrison. Nunes hasn’t fought in so long, but Harrison is coming off serious neck surgery. It’s anyone’s guess how this one unfolds, but it is a clash of two of the most dominant fighters in women’s MMA history.
On Friday, all fighters took to the stage for one final faceoff. Check out the footage below and let us know who has the edge heading into UFC 334!
