Two championships are on the line at Madison Square Garden this weekend.
UFC returns to the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City this weekend for its annual event, with UFC 334 scheduled to take place on Saturday night, November 14, 2026. At the top of the bill is a massive Heavyweight clash where newly crowned Champion Ciryl Gane defends against Josh Hokit.
The matchup is expected to bring some much-needed stability to the division that has not seen a title change hands since Francis Ngannou defeated Stipe Miocic in 2021 at UFC 260. Gane was elevated to the Undisputed status after Tom Aspinall’s decision to vacate the belt.

Gane has been at the end of a lot of backlash from fans since his encounter with Aspinall for the title ended in a no-contest after an accidental double eye poke that left the Champion unable to continue. On the other hand, Gane’s interim title bout with Alex Pereira at UFC Freedom 250 did little to silence his critics.
Although the Frenchman secured a second-round TKO, the finish was overshadowed by allegations that several of his strikes landed to the back of Pereria’s head, with the fan-favorite star openly questioning referee Herb Dean’s handling of the situation. Gane now heads into the bout with a lot of scrutiny.
On the other side, the polarizing Hokit has become one of the UFC’s most talked-about rising heavyweights, with his outspoken personality, provocative trash talk, and controversial pre-fight antics regularly grabbing headlines.
The 28-year-old American has enjoyed a remarkable rise since earning his UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2025. With Gane holding the edge on paper, Hokit has the chance to deliver a career-defining performance to claim gold at MSG.
In the co-main event, a mega fight in the women’s bantamweight division will see two-time Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison defend the UFC title against the consensus G.O.A.T. and former two-division champion Amanda Nunes.
The fight was originally scheduled for UFC 324 but was cancelled when Harrison was forced to withdraw with a neck injury that required surgery. While Harrison is returning from a career-threatening surgery, Nunes is dealing with questions of ring rust and returning after her initial retirement in June 2023.
All of this, along with plenty of other exciting storylines and matchups, promises to make for an unforgettable night at the iconic Madison Square Garden. Let us now take a look at this weekend’s fight card, start times, and where to watch the event in India, the USA, the UK, and Australia.
