UFC 334: Gane v Hokit – all you need to know

Ciryl Gane will make his first defence of the undisputed UFC heavyweight title against Josh Hokit at UFC 334 in New York. The bout follows Tom Aspinall vacating the belt because he remains unable to compete while recovering from an eye injury.

The co-main event sees Kayla Harrison defend the women’s bantamweight title against Amanda Nunes, whose return was delayed by Harrison’s neck injury. Gane, 36, has won 14 of 17 fights and is the pre-fight favourite; Hokit, 28, is ranked fifth and has won all 10 of his professional bouts. The main card is due to start at 02:00 GMT, with the headline fight expected around 04:30 GMT on Sunday.
