UFC 334: Gane vs. Hokit · Nov 14, 2026

In This Report

The Fight StoryClick here to expand

As Ciryl Gane prepares to face off against the undefeated Josh Hokit at UFC 334, the dynamics of this heavyweight clash are electric. Gane, with a seasoned UFC record of 11-2-1, stands tall at 6'4" with an impressive 81" reach, which gives him a significant advantage in both range and experience. In contrast, Hokit, at just 28 years old and a perfect 4-0, brings youthful energy and a striking output of 44.1 strikes per round, far exceeding Gane's 25.2. This fight echoes the historical showdown between Pedro Munhoz and Chris Gutierrez, where a seasoned fighter faced a rising star, showcasing the clash of experience versus raw talent.

Not only does Hokit boast a staggering finish rate of 83.3%, but he also remains unscathed in his career thus far, absorbing no knockdowns in his fights. Gane, while having a solid defensive record, has faced adversity, with a 50% rate of being stopped in his bouts. This matchup presents a compelling narrative: will Gane's experience and reach allow him to neutralize Hokit’s aggressive striking, or will Hokit continue his meteoric rise by overwhelming the veteran with his relentless pace? The stakes are high, and the outcome remains uncertain as both fighters aim to carve their names into UFC history.

How Similar Fights Ended

75 historical bouts

Every past fight is placed by the SHAPE of its mismatch — how far apart the two fighters were on each of 37 career measures, setting aside which one was ahead. Fights that sit close together form a profile. Below is how the 75 bouts in this bout's profile actually ended.

41% Reached the judges
59% Ended early
36% KO/TKO 23% Submission 5:47 Median finish, round 2
When those finishes came

This is a base rate over similar past matchups, not a prediction about these two fighters. It is drawn from what happened historically, and the profile is blind to which corner is which — so it can say how fights like this one tend to go, and nothing at all about who wins.

Fights with a similar mismatch

Every fighter is reduced to a profile of 37 career measures as they stood going into the fight, standardised so that no single measure dominates merely for having bigger units — a far wider read than the six charted below. The bout is then described by the gap between the two: how far apart they were on each of those measures, setting aside which one was ahead. The fights listed here are those whose gaps line up most closely with this one. Because the match is on the shape of a mismatch rather than on a weight class or an era, a neighbour can come from an entirely different division.

Betting Edge

Fighter Win confidence DraftKings odds Break-even Edge
Ciryl Gane 51.0% 1.38 72.5% -30.6%
Josh Hokit 49.0% 3.15 31.7% +56.6%

Odds are the latest we have from DraftKings. Edge = win confidence × decimal odds − 1, so a positive edge means the price pays more than our model thinks the fighter is worth.

Break-even = 1 ÷ decimal odds — the win rate you would need at that price just to come out level. It is the raw price, with the bookmaker's margin still in it, so the two fighters' break-evens add up to more than 100%: that surplus is the book's cut, not a mistake.

Recommended stake No bet recommended at the price we recorded.
