UFC 334 delivered a night of memorable title fights at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Saturday. In the main event, heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane defended his belt against American challenger Josh Hokit, winning by unanimous decision with all three judges scoring the bout 48-47.
Hokit pushed the French champion with an unorthodox approach that kept Gane on the back foot early, but the challenger appeared to fade in the final two rounds, allowing Gane to control the pace and secure the victory.
In the co-main event, Kayla Harrison retained her title with a fourth-round rear-naked choke submission over former two-division champion Amanda Nunes. After surviving an early surge from Nunes, Harrison landed a pair of judo throws that shifted momentum, then capitalized on a scramble to lock in the choke and force the tap.
Other notable results included Caio Borralho's unanimous decision over Yousri Belgaroui (30-27, 30-27, 30-27), a majority draw between Uros Medic and Kevin Holland (29-27, 28-28, 28-28), and Stephen Thompson's third-round TKO of Charles Radtke via head kick. Terrance McKinney knocked out Jim Miller in the first round, while Cesar Almeida stopped Donte Johnson with first-round punches.
The event concluded a successful week for the promotion in New York, with the next pay-per-view, UFC 335, scheduled for Las Vegas later this year.
