UFC 335 Fight Card and UFC 334 Preview: The Road to the 2026 Finale

The final stretch of the year is stacking up fast. The UFC 335 fight card headlines December 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and UFC 334 arrives a month earlier with a heavyweight title fight. Add the newly announced UFC 336 in Toronto, and fans have a clear UFC schedule to circle on the calendar. Here is the full breakdown, based on reports from MMA News and MMA Sucka.

UFC 334: Gane vs Hokit on November 15

UFC 334 takes place on November 15, with Ciryl Gane defending his heavyweight title against Josh Hokit. Gane is now the undisputed champion after beating Alex Pereira in Pereira’s heavyweight debut at the White House event. Hokit has been loud in the buildup, and the UFC’s announcer Bruce Buffer has criticized his trash talk, as noted by MMA News. MMA Sucka also reports that a women’s bout between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes sits on the same card, which gives UFC 334 serious star power beyond the main event.

UFC 335 Fight Card: Full Lineup

The year-end show is anchored by a BMF title fight and a heavyweight clash. Here is the current lineup:

• BMF Championship: Charles Oliveira vs Diego Lopes
• Heavyweight: Alex Pereira vs Sergei Pavlovich
• Flyweight: Brandon Moreno vs Charles Johnson
• Women’s Flyweight: Maycee Barber vs Carli Judice
• Light Heavyweight: Quentin Pasley vs Junior Tafa

A Joe Pyfer vs Bo Nickal middleweight fight was previously part of the plans, but reports say Nickal’s bout has been moved, so treat the card as fluid.

Storylines to Follow

Pereira vs Pavlovich is the headline attraction. Pereira has had a rough few weeks, with several fighters criticizing his comments about the promotion, and Hokit has taken repeated shots at him as well. Pereira believes illegal strikes cost him against Gane, but he now has to focus on Pavlovich, a heavy-handed contender who has promised surprises.

Maycee Barber returns after a scary knockout loss to Alexa Grasso in March, which ended a seven-fight winning streak. Judice enters on a four-fight run, so this is a true crossroads fight. Meanwhile, Quentin Pasley makes his UFC debut after a Contender Series win, and Dana White has already compared him to Jon Jones, which adds pressure.

What Each Card Means for the Title Picture

Together, these three events could reshape the heavyweight, lightweight and welterweight divisions in just over two months. UFC 334 decides whether Gane’s reign continues or Hokit pulls off a surprise. UFC 335 offers Pereira a chance to rebuild his heavyweight case against a dangerous opponent, while the BMF fight gives Oliveira and Lopes a spotlight slot. By the time UFC 336 arrives in Toronto, several new contenders could be waiting in line. For casual fans, this stretch is the easiest time of year to follow the sport, because every card has a clear storyline and a recognizable name at the top.
