UFC 334 payouts: Estimated purses for Ciryl Gane, Amanda Nunes, Josh Hokit and others

Ciryl Gane defends the UFC Heavyweight Championship against Josh Hokit and Amanda Nunes returns from retirement to face Kayla Harrison at UFC 334 at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Saturday, November 14, 2026. The event features a 13-fight card headlined by those two title fights.

Gane was elevated to undisputed heavyweight champion after Tom Aspinall relinquished the title following an eye injury suffered during his title defense against Gane, and this will be Gane’s first defense. Harrison is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and the reigning Bantamweight Champion, while Nunes is coming back from retirement for the co-main event. The card also includes Caio Borralho, Bilal Hasan, Stephen Thompson, Kevin Holland, Jim Miller and Macy Chiasson among other established names and contenders.

Based on prior UFC compensation data and reported paydays, analysts estimate Ciryl Gane earned $760,000 for his interim title bout against Alex Pereira at UFC Freedom 250 and took home an estimated $1,264,000 for the title match at UFC 321 against Tom Aspinall; he is expected to command a larger purse as the reigning champion. These figures are presented as analyst projections rather than official UFC disclosures.

Josh Hokit earned an estimated $357,000 for his win over Derrick Lewis at UFC Freedom 250, which the projections list as his highest reported pay to date; with Hokit headlining Madison Square Garden and fighting for the Heavyweight Championship the projections expect a significantly higher payday. The analysts’ estimates reflect his rising profile since that last fight.

Kayla Harrison took home an estimated $364,000 in her last fight against Julianna Pena when she captured the World title, and the projections expect a substantially larger purse for her first title defense against Amanda Nunes. Amanda Nunes is estimated to have earned $1,342,000 in her 2023 retirement fight, while her highest career reported payout is listed at $2,032,000 for her second fight against Julianna Pena; her return bout is projected to bring an increased payout.

All payout figures cited are analyst projections based on prior compensation data, commission filings and reported paydays; the UFC has not officially disclosed individual purses for UFC 334. In the United States the event will stream live on Paramount+, Early Prelims will be available on UFC Fight Pass, and in India Sony Sports Network will carry the Prelims and Main Card scheduled for 9:30 PM IST and 11:30 PM IST respectively.
