UFC 334 Gane vs Hokit and Harrison vs Nunes countdown, Digi Mart USA News (Madison Square Garden, New York): UFC has released its video preview package for the November 14 card at Madison Square Garden, spotlighting the two title fights headlining UFC 334.
The Countdown special covers heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane’s clash with unbeaten Josh Hokit and Kayla Harrison’s bantamweight title defense against former champion Amanda Nunes, according to MMA Mania. The Paramount Plus event marks the promotion’s latest visit to New York City.
Gane said ranked contenders have good reason to question why Hokit earned a championship opportunity. “If I put myself in the shoes of the guys in the top five, I wouldn’t be happy,” he told RMC Sport Combat, adding that he would wonder how an unranked fighter jumped the line.
The Frenchman said social media complaints make sense given that fighters who climbed the ladder feel they deserve their chance at gold. Still, Gane noted that understanding how the promotional business works matters as much as rankings do.
Harrison faces Nunes on Saturday night in her first title defense since capturing the 135-pound belt. Nunes held the division’s championship before losing it and now attempts to reclaim the strap at Madison Square Garden.
