The UFC is heads back to Madison Square Garden with a star-studded card featuring two marquee championship bouts.
Ciryl Gane captured the championship with a sensational knockout victory over Brazilian legend Alex Pereira at UFC Freedom 250. Known for his technical striking, movement and composure, the champion now faces one of the promotion's fastest-rising contenders.
Ranked fourth in the heavyweight division, Josh Hokit enters the bout with a flawless 10-0 professional record. Known for his relentless approach and outspoken personality, Hokit has repeatedly called out the division's elite and now has the opportunity to prove himself on the biggest stage. A victory over Gane would not only earn Hokit the heavyweight title, but having made his UFC debut just a year ago, it would also complete one of the fastest rises in UFC history.
With Gane aiming to establish his reign and Hokit looking to claim his first UFC title, the heavyweight championship clash promises to be a compelling main event matchup.
