Ciryl Gane Reacts to Josh Hokit Leapfrogging Alexander Volkov for UFC 334 Title Shot

Ciryl Gane is set to defend his UFC heavyweight championship against challenger Josh Hokit in the main event of UFC 334. The title opportunity arose for Hokit after former champion Tom Aspinall was forced to vacate the belt due to recurring complications from an ongoing right eye injury sustained during his recovery.

The matchup has generated significant discussion as Hokit secured the title shot over Alexander Volkov. The event is scheduled to take place in New York City with a 13-fight lineup, which also features a major women's bout between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes.
