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
Late Prelims
Jim Miller vs. Terrance McKinney: McKinney got to work quickly, of course. He hurt Miller with his jab, ripped a kick to the body and then landed a flush left on the chin that put Miller down. McKinney pounced with ground and pound for the win. Miller was able to tag McKinney with some counters, but he didn’t have the power to stop McKinney doing what he does best.
Official decision: Terrance McKinney def. Jim Miller by KO (punches), round 1 (1:53)
Cesar Almeida vs. Donte Johnson: Johnson was very aggressive in this fight, winging punches at Almeida. They mostly found his shoulders and forearms, though. After blocking all that, Almeida landed right on the button, with a perfect straight punch, and dropped Johnson. Johnson survived the follow ups and got back to his feet. Johnson tried to fight fire with fire, but Almeida was able to sting Johnson again and again until the ref had seen enough.
Official decision: Cesar Almeida def. Donte Johnson by TKO (punches), round 1 (3:20)
Early Prelims
Melquizael Costa vs. Jared Gordon: Costa lit up Gordon with kicks from all directions in the first. In the second he ended up on the bottom and then threatened Gordon with a deep triangle attempt. Gordon survived and Costa seemed to gas out from the effort. Still, Costa did enough to survive and bank the decision victory.
Official decision: Melquizael Costa def. Jared Gordon by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Bia Mesquita vs. Macy Chiasson: Total domination from Mesquita. She got a body lock takedown and then toyed with Chiasson on the ground. She hurt her with ground and pound, flattened her out and then put the rear naked choke in for yet another submission win. Look out Kayla/Amanda.
Official decision: Bia Mesquita def. Macy Chiasson by submission (rear naked choke), round 1 (3:22)
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)
