Stipe Miocic predicts Ciryl Gane to defeat Josh Hokit for heavyweight title at UFC 334

Former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic has predicted that Ciryl Gane will defeat Josh Hokit for the vacant heavyweight championship at UFC 334. The title fight takes place this Saturday, November 14, at Madison Square Garden. Miocic highlighted Gane's experience, ring generalship, and ability to manage distance as the decisive factors.

While favoring Gane, Miocic noted that Hokit could pose problems if he relies on his wrestling to secure takedowns. Hokit earned the title opportunity after rapid wins over Derrick Lewis, Curtis Blaydes, and Denzel Freeman following his signing via Dana White's Contender Series.
