UFC Tonight delivered a major championship doubleheader at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Saturday, November 14, with Ciryl Gane facing undefeated heavyweight contender Josh Hokit and Kayla Harrison taking on former champion Amanda Nunes.
The event, officially named Polymarket UFC 334: Gane vs Hokit, featured 13 scheduled fights across the early prelims, preliminary card and main card. Two championship contests headlined an action-packed night of mixed martial arts.
One of the biggest stories came from the co-main event, where Kayla Harrison successfully defended her women’s bantamweight championship against Amanda Nunes. Harrison secured a fourth-round rear-naked choke submission at 1:29, ending Nunes’ comeback attempt.
The victory strengthened Harrison’s position among the leading fighters in the women’s division. Nunes, a former two-division UFC champion, returned to competition after more than three years away from the Octagon.
UFC Tonight Results
Harrison and Nunes entered the contest with considerable experience and championship credentials. Their matchup attracted attention because Nunes had previously held both the women’s bantamweight and featherweight championships.
Nunes started strongly with her striking, but Harrison gradually shifted the contest toward wrestling and grappling. Her takedowns and ground control created problems for the returning former champion.
Harrison continued applying pressure through the second and third rounds, using positional control and ground strikes to limit Nunes’ opportunities. By the fourth round, Harrison found another opening to take her opponent’s back.
She secured the rear-naked choke at 1:29 of Round 4, forcing Nunes to submit. The victory allowed Harrison to retain her UFC women’s bantamweight title.
