🥊🔥 HUGE ODDS BOOST for Josh Hokit ahead of UFC 334! CocoBet has boosted Hokit’s odds from 1.58 to 4.00 for his title fight against Ciryl Gane this weekend! 👀 💰 Can Hokit pull off the upset?
CocoBet has lengthened the price on Josh Hokit for his heavyweight title fight against Ciryl Gane at UFC 334 this weekend. The sportsbook moved Hokit's odds from 1.58 to 4.00, a boost that turns the challenger into a sizeable underdog on the promotion.
Gane, the reigning heavyweight champion, is 14-2-0 and 36 years old. The Frenchman represents MMA Factory and fights from an orthodox stance. He stands six-foot-four with an 81-inch reach, a 206 cm span that gives him length in the striking exchanges where he does most of his work.
His numbers back that up. Gane lands 5.29 significant strikes per minute at 61 percent accuracy, a rare combination of volume and precision in the heavyweight division. His takedown rate is modest at 0.68 per 15 minutes, with 0.6 submission attempts over the same span, which points to a fighter who prefers to keep the fight standing and uses grappling as a secondary tool.
Recent form
Gane arrives in strong momentum. His most recent recorded fight came on June 14, 2026, at UFC Freedom 250, where he stopped Alex Pereira with a second-round KO/TKO in a title fight. Before that, his October 2025 bout with Tom Aspinall at UFC 321 ended in a no contest after the fight was halted in the first round with Gane unable to continue. His December 2024 win over Alexander Volkov came by split decision at UFC 310.
Why it matters
- The odds swing is the story here: a move from 1.58 to 4.00 is a large repricing of the same fighter, and the boosted number is an offer from the sportsbook rather than a verdict on the matchup.
- Gane is defending the heavyweight belt he won with a stoppage in his most recent recorded outing, so the title picture is in play.
- Gane's accuracy of 61 percent will be the number to watch if Hokit tries to close the distance.
Hokit's own statistical profile was not part of the information available for this report, so the comparison here rests on Gane's record and form. The boosted price is a promotional offer from the sportsbook and does not change the stakes of the fight.
