Gane, Nunes and Harrison headline UFC 334 media day ahead of MSG title fights
Twelve fighters from UFC 334 meet the press on Wednesday ahead of Saturday's card at Madison Square Garden, headlined by Ciryl Gane's first heavyweight title defence against Josh Hokit and Kayla Harrison's bantamweight clash with Amanda Nunes.
Twelve fighters from Saturday’s UFC 334 card at Madison Square Garden are scheduled to speak at Wednesday’s media day, with heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane and bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison among the headliners facing the press.
Gane makes the first defence of his UFC heavyweight title against Josh Hokit in the main event, while the co-main event pits Harrison against former two-division UFC champion Amanda Nunes in a bantamweight title bout that brings together two of the sport’s most decorated women.
The media day is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. ET, with appearances running through the afternoon. The tentative order has Luis Gurule opening proceedings at 11 a.m., followed by Hokit at 11:15 a.m., Charles Radtke at 11:30 a.m., and Yousri Belgaroui at 11:45 a.m. Gane is slated for 12:15 p.m., Kevin Holland at 12:30 p.m., and Nunes at 12:45 p.m.
The afternoon session features Harrison at 1:45 p.m., Uros Medic at 2 p.m., Caio Borralho at 2:15 p.m., Bilal Hasan at 2:30 p.m., and Stephen Thompson closing out the day at 2:45 p.m.
UFC 334 marks a significant occasion for Gane, who steps into his first title defence at one of boxing and MMA’s most iconic venues. Hokit’s presence as the challenger adds an element of unpredictability to a card that already carries considerable weight through the Harrison-Nunes rematch narrative in the co-main event.
