Ciryl Gane and Josh Hokit were taken to hospital after their fight at UFC 334 on November 14, and neither will take part in the post-event press conference.
The report does not say what injuries either man suffered or how the fight ended. No update on their condition has been given.
Gane, 36, is the heavyweight champion and carries a 14-2-0 record. The Frenchman from MMA Factory is a precise striker who lands 5.29 significant strikes per minute at 61 percent accuracy. He stands six-foot-four with an 81-inch reach. His most recent recorded fight was a second-round KO/TKO win over Alex Pereira in a title fight at UFC Freedom 250 on June 14, 2026. Before that, his title bout with Tom Aspinall at UFC 321 in October 2025 ended in a no contest when it could not continue in the first round.
Hokit, 29, entered the night unbeaten at 10-0-0 and ranked fourth at heavyweight. The American is a high-volume pressure fighter, landing 9.29 significant strikes per minute at 64 percent accuracy, and he averages 3.73 takedowns per 15 minutes. His most recent recorded fight was also at UFC Freedom 250, where he stopped Derrick Lewis in the second round. That followed a unanimous decision over Curtis Blaydes at UFC 327 in April and a first-round stoppage of Denzel Freeman at UFC 324 in January.
What the numbers show
- Hokit throws and lands at a much higher rate: 9.29 significant strikes per minute against Gane's 5.29, a gap of exactly four.
- Gane holds clear physical advantages, with a three-inch height edge and an eight-inch reach edge (81 inches to 73).
- Hokit's takedown average of 3.73 per 15 minutes is more than five times Gane's 0.68.
- Gane is seven years older, 36 to 29.
The two fought on the same card in June, at UFC Freedom 250, but not against each other. UFC 334 was their first meeting in the records.
Both fighters will be absent from the media session while they are treated. Any further word on their condition and the outcome of the bout is expected from the promotion.
