All four championship fighters made weight on Friday before UFC 334. However, two fighters on the undercard were fined for missing the weight limit.
The UFC will stage its return to Madison Square Garden on Saturday with a heavyweight championship bout and the return of the top female fighter of all time. Ciryl Gane was promoted to undisputed heavyweight champion earlier this year due to Tom Aspinall’s continued health setbacks, which began with a pair of eye pokes sustained in his fight with Gane last year. Gane became interim champion in Aspinall’s absence and will defend the title against undefeated Josh Hokit in the main event of UFC 334.
Gane (14-2, 1 NC) stepped onto the scale at 242.6 pounds and outweighed his opponent by more than ten pounds. Hokit registered a weight of 231.4 pounds to make the five-round fight official for the event.
Hokit (10-0) has been condemned for racist and transphobic remarks, including by UFC president Dana White. However, Hokit’s appeal has clearly been awarded as he receives this fight over Alexander Volkov. Volkov has won seven of his last eight fights and had a split-decision loss to Gane that many believed Volkov won. Hokit had never fought a ranked heavyweight until this past April when he beat Curtis Blaydes by decision and followed with a TKO win against Derrick Lewis at UFC Freedom 250.
Amanda Nunes (23-5) is coming out of retirement for her first fight in over three years when she fights bantamweight champion and former ATT teammate Kayla Harrison (19-1).
Both stepped onto the scale at 135 pounds, a remarkable feat for Harrison, who continues to fight at this weight despite competing at 171 pounds in Judo. Harrison has spoken about the frightening toll the cut takes on her, and it’s an open question of whether she will fight again after UFC 334. At the weigh-in, she looked extremely drawn from the weight cut.
First to the scale – @KaylaH weighs in at 135 lbs !

To add to Harrison’s plate, this is her first fight since neck surgery, which postponed the fight with Nunes. Harrison had surgery in January and this is a significant injury to return from within the same calendar year.
Terrance McKinney missed the lightweight limit for his fight with veteran Jim Miller and will be fined a portion of his purse. McKinney missed by 4.2 pounds.
Juan Diaz was also fined after missing the bantamweight limit by a mere 0.4 pounds for his fight against Heili Alateng.
