UFC 334 took place Saturday night in New York City at Madison Square Garden. The event was a sellout to see Cyril Gane attempt to defend the UFC heavyweight title against Josh Hokit.
Gane earned the victory in a spirited fight that saw Gane negate Hokit’s early round pressure. Gane then used his length and punch volume to earn the unanimous decision. It was the Fight of the Night with each earning an extra $100K.
The co-main event saw the return of Amanda Nunes as she took on Kayla Harrison. It was the defending 135 pound champ that submitted the former two division champion. For her performance, she earned a $100K Performance Bonus.
Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson’s last fight in the UFC was a memorable one. The karate fighter ended his career with a spin kick that ended the night for Charles Radtke. Thompson earned $100K Performance Bonus for his 3rd round TKO.
The sole $25K finish bonus went to Bia Mesquita as she submitted Macy Chiasson in the first round of their fight.
Terrence McKinney and Juan Diaz had finished in their respective fights but each missed weight and were not awarded the $25K.
