Ciryl Gane has a lot to lose at UFC 334, with the belated UFC heavyweight champion having to make his first defense of the title he's coveted for so long against Josh Hokit, a man so obsessed with stirring up outrage — usually by insulting women — he's detracted from his own extraordinarily rapid rise to the top of the division.
Here's how you can watch UFC 334 live streams from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for just $1 with the Walmart Plus trial.
Hokit has repeatedly made statements that are beyond the pale even for Dana White, but having only made his UFC debut 53 weeks ago, he's one of the promotion's darlings. Gane, meanwhile, has taken the long route to the top table, earning plenty of respect along the way, but his victory over Alex Pereira and his no-contest against Tom Aspinall have cast an unflattering light over the Frenchman's fighting style.
The 36-year-old ascended from the interim title to the title proper because Aspinall had to vacate it due to eye issues stemming from a poke by "Bon Gamin" (translation: "Good Kid"). He also caught Pereira on the back of his head when they competed for the interim belt. UFC 334 is, therefore, his chance to go legit in many people's eyes.
In a reposte to Hokit, the women's bantamweight title fight between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes could upstage the headline act itself. Harrison is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and the current belt holder, but Nunes is a former UFC featherweight and two-time UFC bantamweight supremo, who was widely recognized as the greatest female mixed martial artist of all time before she retired three years ago.
