Gane and Nunes headline UFC 334 weigh-ins as all 26 fighters hit the scale in New York
All 26 fighters on the UFC 334 card made weight in New York City on Friday ahead of Saturday's event. Ciryl Gane faces Josh Hokit for the heavyweight title, while Kayla Harrison defends her bantamweight belt against a returning Amanda Nunes.
All 26 fighters on the UFC 334 card successfully weighed in at the official and ceremonial weigh-ins in New York City on Friday, clearing the way for Saturday’s event headlined by two title fights.
In the main event, heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane puts his title on the line against Josh Hokit. It marks Gane’s first defence since being elevated to undisputed champion, with both men required to come in at or under the 265-pound limit.
The co-main event carries its own considerable weight. Bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison defends against Amanda Nunes — widely regarded as the greatest women’s MMA fighter of all time — in a bout nearly five years in the making. The two were once training partners, and Nunes came out of retirement specifically for this matchup. Both fighters were required to hit 135 pounds or below.
The main card also features a middleweight contest between Caio Borralho and Yousri Belgaroui, a welterweight clash pitting Uros Medic against Kevin Holland, and a lightweight bout between Bilal Hasan and Luis Gurule.
On the preliminary card, welterweight veteran Stephen Thompson meets Charles Radtke, Drew Dober takes on Chris Duncan at lightweight, Jim Miller faces Terrance McKinney, and Donte Johnson squares off with Cesar Almeida.
The early prelims round out the card with Jared Gordon (155.6) vs. Melquizael Costa, Macy Chiasson (134.8) vs. Bia Mesquita, Alatengheili vs. Juan Diaz, and Evan Elder vs. Samuel Sanches, who weighed in at 153.6 pounds.
