Josh Hokit challenges Ciryl Gane for the UFC heavyweight title on Saturday, as UFC 334 takes place in New York City. Gane, who has only recently become champion, makes his first appearance with the belt against a contender whose climb through the division has been unusually quick.
The co-main event is a women's bantamweight title fight, with champion Kayla Harrison facing Amanda Nunes in a meeting that has been years in the making.
On the latest episode of the No Bets Barred podcast, host Jed Meshew previewed the card alone and examined whether Hokit can complete one of the most rapid ascents in UFC history by taking the title from Gane. Meshew also discussed how little can be predicted about Harrison against Nunes.
The episode also covered whether Yousri Belgaroui is ready to make his move, Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson's final outing, and The Climb.
