The UFC 334 weigh in results are official in New York: heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane weighed 242.6 pounds and challenger Josh Hokit weighed 231.4 on Friday, November 13, making Saturday’s title main event at Madison Square Garden official. Women’s bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes both hit 135 pounds exactly for the co-main event, per the official weigh-in reports carried by Paramount+ and TNT Sports.

All 13 fights remain scheduled for Saturday, November 14 after the Friday weigh-ins, with the main card at 9 p.m. ET on Paramount+ and no pay-per-view or CBS simulcast. Two preliminary fighters missed weight, and one miss was significant enough to change the terms of a bout.

UFC 334 Weigh In Results For Both Title Fights

Gane, at 14-2, defends the heavyweight title for the first time against Hokit, the number 4 contender who arrives undefeated at 10-0. The champion gave away height in the headlines all week but not on the scale: 242.6 pounds against 231.4 is an 11.2 pound edge for Gane, a real number in a division where one clean shot ends arguments.

Ciryl Gane vs Josh Hokit fight for the undisputed heavyweight title at UFC 334. Nov 14, 9pm ET, live on Paramount Plus.

That is the UFC’s own billing on its official account, and the co-main event carries equal weight in every sense. Harrison, 19-1 and a two time Olympic judo champion, defends against Nunes, 23-5 and the former two division champion returning from retirement. The fight was first set for UFC 324 in January, then postponed when Harrison needed surgery for herniated discs in her neck, which makes her clean 135 on Friday a headline of its own.

The One Bad Miss On The Card

Terrance McKinney missed by 4.2 pounds, weighing 160.2 for a lightweight bout, and his fight moves forward as a catchweight with a 30 percent purse forfeiture, per MMA Fighting’s complete weigh-in report. In a card where both champions and both challengers hit their marks without drama, the McKinney miss is the single blemish, and it sits on the preliminary card rather than the title picture.

How To Watch UFC 334 On Saturday

The full card runs 13 fights: five on the main card, four on the preliminaries and four on the early preliminaries, all on Paramount+. Caio Borralho against Yousri Belgaroui, Uros Medic against Kevin Holland and Bilal Hasan against Luis Gurule complete the main card behind the two title fights. The main card odds, as listed by DraftKings through ESPN on November 13, had Gane at -218 and Harrison at -166, with Hokit at +180 and Nunes at +140.

UFC 334 is the promotion’s second to last numbered event of the year, and Madison Square Garden is its traditional November home. The weigh-ins are done, both belts are on the line for real, and the recap follows here after the card closes on Saturday night.

The schedule runs in three waves on Paramount+: the early preliminaries at 5 p.m. ET, the preliminary card at 7 p.m. ET and the main card at 9 p.m. ET. Both title fights are scheduled for five rounds; the other 11 bouts are three rounds. With the scales settled on Friday, the only question left in New York is the one the Garden was built for.
