INTERNATIONAL DESK — Mixed martial arts enthusiasts turn their attention to Madison Square Garden in New York as the venue prepares to host UFC 334 on Saturday, November 14. The marquee event features a packed 13-fight lineup highlighted by two championship titles, drawing global attention to the premier combat sports promotion.
At the top of the bill, French heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane puts his belt on the line against undefeated American challenger Josh Hokit, who secured his title opportunity barely a year after signing his promotion contract. Meanwhile, the co-main event showcases the highly anticipated return of Brazilian standout Amanda Nunes, widely celebrated as the preeminent female competitor in mixed martial arts history. Having stepped away from the sport in June 2023, Nunes steps back into the Octagon to face two-time Olympic gold medallist and former teammate Kayla Harrison, following a previous postponement earlier this year due to a neck injury sustained by Harrison. The preliminary bouts feature veteran fighter Stephen Thompson facing Charles Radtke.
The scheduling for the blockbuster card accommodates multiple international time zones, with early preliminary bouts initiating at 5pm Eastern Time, followed by the preliminary card at 7pm and the main card commencing at 9pm. Broadcast partnerships span various global networks, ensuring widespread accessibility for audiences following the action from different regions.
Regional broadcast arrangements confirm that fans in Pakistan can access the main card live via Ten Sports at 7am on Sunday, November 15. Concurrently, audiences in the United States and the United Kingdom can follow the televised coverage through Paramount+ and TNT Sports respectively, as stakeholders anticipate robust viewership figures for the high-stakes New York pay-per-view spectacle.
