UFC 334 ⏳💥 @ciryl_gane vs Josh Hokit @kaylaharrisonofficial vs @amanda_leoa
UFC 334 is set to feature two high-profile matchups on November 14, with heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane facing Josh Hokit and Kayla Harrison taking on Amanda Leoa, according to the card listing.
Gane enters the bout at 14-2-0 and holds the heavyweight title. The 36-year-old Frenchman, who trains with MMA Factory, fights out of an orthodox stance and stands six-foot-four with an 81-inch reach. He lands 5.29 significant strikes per minute at 61 percent accuracy, and averages 0.68 takedowns per 15 minutes.
His most recent recorded fight came on June 14, 2026, when he stopped Alex Pereira with a second-round KO/TKO in a title fight at UFC Freedom 250. Before that, his October 2025 title bout with Tom Aspinall at UFC 321 ended in a no contest after Gane could not continue in the first round. In December 2024 he beat Alexander Volkov by split decision at UFC 310.
Hokit is named as his opponent on the listing. Harrison and Leoa are paired in the second headline-level matchup on the card.
Why it matters
- Gane would be making his first title defense since the Pereira stoppage, a result that came less than five months before the card date.
- The champion's recent form shows a finish in his latest recorded win and a no contest before that, so he has not gone the distance since the Volkov decision in December 2024.
- Gane's 0.68 takedowns and 0.6 submission attempts per 15 minutes sit alongside a high-accuracy striking game, a profile built around landing clean on the feet.
The listing gives November 14 as the date for UFC 334. No further details on the venue or the rest of the card were included with the pairings.
