Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live TONIGHT (Sat., Nov. 14, 2026)with UFC 334, taking place inside the famous Madison Square Garden in New York City, NY, streaming exclusively live on Paramount+. UFC 334’s main event is a big one: Ciryl Gane vs. Josh Hokit is the featured attraction for UFC’s Heavyweight crown. The co-main is a big deal, too, with Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes for UFC’s women’s Bantamweight belt.

UFC 334 Preview

The Josh Hokit experiment reaches its zenith tonight (heaven help us all) with his chance to take UFC’s most valuable title from Ciryl Gane. Hokit is only 4-0 in UFC, but his wild brawl with Curtis Blaydes coupled with his demolition of Derrick Lewis on the White House lawn have landed him in MSG. The lack of depth at Heavyweight (and fresh match-ups), along with Hokit’s odious persona, have also contributed to this moment.

Gane won the interim title after drubbing Alex Pereira at UFC White House. That title became legit when Tom Aspinall vacated his belt because of long-standing eye issue caused by Gane (knuckle deep!). Gane will attempt to defend a UFC belt for the first time in his career here and prove he’s a deserving champ (and not just a dirty fighter).

There’s history on the line in the co-main event with Amanda Nunes trying to replicate Georges St-Pierre, in stepping away from the sport at their peak and then returning a few years later and proving they are still the gold standard. Her American Top Team teammate, Kayla Harrison, will try and stop that. Harrison will be trying to show that, despite her lack of exposure in UFC, she deserves to be in the G.W.O.A.T. conversation.

Rounding out this particularly stacked main card is Caio Borralho vs. Yousri Belgaraoui, Uros Medic vs. Kevin Holland, and Bilal Hasan vs. Luis Gurule.

The featured ‘Prelim’ is the retirement fight of Stephen Thompson. Wonderboy draws Charles Radtke for his swansong. The Late ‘Prelims’ also have Drew Dober vs. Chris Duncan, Jim Miller vs. Terrance McKinney and Donte Johnson vs. Cesar Almeida.

The Early ‘Prelims’ have some bangers, too. They include Melquizael Costa vs. Jared Gordon, Bia Mesquita vs. Macy Chiasson, Juan Diaz vs. Alatengheili and Evan Elder vs. Samuel Sanches.

UFC 334 PLAY-BY-PLAY UPDATES

Early Prelims

Juan Diaz vs. Alatengheili: Diaz had so much success boxing with Alatengheili that he didn’t need to use his grappling. He just kept clubbing the Alatengheili with two shot combos, landing quick and slipping out before he get receive any payback. He basically tripled up Alatengheili on sig. strikes. The only thing that cost him a finish was how tough Alatengheili proved to be.

Official decision: Juan Diaz def. Alatengheili by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Evan Elder vs. Samuel Sanches: Elder hurt Sanches early in the fight and also showed off a superior ground game. The youngster Sanches showed some nice striking in return, though. He wobbled Elder and also caused a massive cut. For all the good things Sanches did, though, Elder did more — in each round. Sanches was also deducted a point for fence grabbing.

Official decision: Evan Elder def. Samuel Sanches by unanimous decision (30-26, 30-26, 30-26)
