UFC 334 weigh-in results: Title fights set, but two misses in New York - MMA Junkie

NEW YORK – MMA Junkie was on scene and reporting live from Friday's UFC 334 official weigh-ins, where two prelim fighters missed their marks.

Heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane (14-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) puts his belt on the line in the main event against the undefeated Josh Hokit (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC), who challenges for gold for the first time. Despite having no weight to cut, they were two of the last three fighters to come to the scale in the final 20 minutes of the two-hour session.

But the other two title fighters, Kayla Harrison (19-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and Amanda Nunes (23-5 MMA, 16-2 UFC), were the first two to weigh in. They finally will clash in a highly anticipated co-main event for the women's bantamweight championship, held by Harrison, who is defending it for the first time following surgery. Nunes is returning from a retirement of more than 3 years and is a former two-division champion widely regarded as the women's MMA GOAT.

Official weigh-ins took place at the host hotel in Manhattan and preceded the ceremonial weigh-ins for the fans, which begin at 5 p.m. ET from Madison Square Garden. The same venue hosts Saturday's numbered event on Paramount+.
