Hello everyone and welcome to 411mania’s LIVE coverage of UFC 334, I’m Robert Winfree and I’ll be your host. Well 2026 is winding down and we’re already at the annual MSG show. There are two title fights on top of this one, the main event is for the UFC heavyweight title when champion Ciryl Gane tries for his second defense since being promoted to full champion. Across from him is the recently debuted and outspoke Josh Hokit. Heavyweight is still in a fairly rough spot overall with the lineal champion being out of the promotion and Tom Aspinall never actually losing his title in the cage. But Hokit’s fights have been entertaining thus far and Gane has been one of the better heavyweights for a few years now, so we’ll see what happens. The co-main event is an odd one, Kayla Harrison is defending her bantamweight title against former two weight world champion Amanda Nunes. Harrison is a very decorated competitor in Judo, but making 135 is not a thing she can keep doing while Nunes is coming off of a 3.5 year retirement and is 38 years old. The women’s side of things isn’t in a super great spot so if both women retire after this fight, a real possibility, there’s a lot of uncertainty around the division even existing next year. There’s also a really interesting fight between Caio Borralho and rising fighter Yousri Belgaroui, Uros Medic vs. Kevin Holland will be good fun, and the UFC is really trying to get Bilal Hassan over. On the prelims we’ve got Stephen Thompson’s retirement fight, Jim Miller still doing the darn thing, Melquizael Costa back in action, and Bia Mesquita still looking to inject some energy into women’s bantamweight. All in all it’s a solid card on paper, now let’s hope for some action to go along with it.

UFC 334 comes to the world from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, USA. We’ve got the usual big event trio of Jon Anik, Joe Rogan, and Daniel Cormier on commentary with Megan Olivi as our roving reporter and Bruce Buffer handling announcing. We’ll be in the usual 30 foot cage and I believe New York has the newer rules in place. Of course if that’s wrong I’ll be sure to update things.

Evan Elder has gone 3-2 in the UFC but he’s on a three fight winning streak, he’s also been out of action since April of last year but another win here would set him up nicely for 2027. Samuel Sanches brings an eight fight winning streak into his UFC debut, and he’s trying to capitalize on his only chance at making a first impression. Sanches is -115 to -105 on Elder to technically give us a pick ’em.

Lightweight Bout: Evan Elder (10-2, 156 lbs.) vs. Samuel Sanches (11-1, 153.6 lbs.)
