UFC 334 streams on Paramount+ on November 14, with the main card starting at 9:00 PM ET. Ciryl Gane and Josh Hokit, the heavyweights headlining the card, won't walk out anywhere near 9:00, though. Four other main-card fights go first — including a second title bout — which points to a realistic walkout window somewhere between 10:30 PM and midnight ET.
The full broadcast schedule
UFC 334: Gane vs. Hokit runs a 13-fight card from Madison Square Garden in New York City, split into three blocks.
| Segment | Start (ET) | Broadcast |
|---|---|---|
| Early Prelims | 5:00 PM | UFC Fight Pass |
| Prelims | 7:00 PM | Paramount+ |
| Main Card | 9:00 PM | Paramount+ |
Four preliminary bouts air in the early window, four more make up the regular prelims, and five fights form the main card, with Gane vs. Hokit capping the night as the final bout.
Why 9 PM isn't when the main event starts
The 9:00 PM time is when the first main-card fight begins, not when the headliners walk out. Four other main-card bouts go first, in this order:
- Bilal Hasan vs. Luis Gurule (flyweight)
- Uros Medic vs. Kevin Holland (welterweight)
- Caio Borralho vs. Yousri Belgaroui (middleweight)
- Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes — the bantamweight title co-main
Only after those four are decided does the Gane-Hokit heavyweight title fight begin. That matters more than usual this time, because one of the four is itself a scheduled five-round title fight, not a standard three-rounder.
Estimating the actual walkout time
The standard way to work this out for any card is to count the fights ahead of the main event and budget roughly 15 to 30 minutes for each one, covering both walkouts, the fight itself, and the gap afterward for corner work, scoring, or an instant-replay review. A three-round fight that ends by decision sits near the high end of that range; an early finish barely moves the clock.
Applied here: three of the four fights ahead of the main event are standard three-rounders, and the fourth — Harrison vs. Nunes — is a five-round title fight that runs longer than the others even if it doesn't go the distance. Budgeting the usual 15 to 30 minutes for the first three bouts and 30 to 45 minutes for the title co-main points to Gane and Hokit's own walkout landing roughly 90 minutes to three hours after the 9:00 PM start. That's a realistic window of about 10:30 PM to midnight ET — later if Harrison-Nunes goes the full 25 minutes of fighting time, earlier if more than one of the four earlier fights ends by finish.
The card structure at a glance

The early prelims open the broadcast at 5:00 PM ET with Jared Gordon vs. Melquizael Costa, Macy Chiasson vs. Bia Mesquita, Evan Elder vs. Samuel Sanches, and Juan Diaz vs. Alateng Heili.
How to watch
Every fight on this card streams on Paramount+ — the early prelims air on UFC Fight Pass, and the regular prelims and main card move to Paramount+. In the US, UFC 334 is included with a Paramount+ subscription; there's no separate pay-per-view charge on top of it, the same arrangement as other numbered UFC events under the current broadcast deal. Subscription plans reportedly start under $10 a month, though it's worth checking the current tiers before signing up, since pricing and ad options have shifted before.
Viewers outside the Eastern time zone should convert before making plans rather than assume the clock carries over: a 9:00 PM ET main card starts at 6:00 PM Pacific, a three-hour difference worth double-checking against the specific event listing.
Why the two title fights change the math
Most cards have one scheduled five-round fight to account for — the main event. This one has two. Gane is defending the undisputed heavyweight title against an unbeaten contender, and directly ahead of him, Harrison is finally defending the bantamweight title in a fight that's been delayed for nearly a year and a half. Both fights can run the full 25 minutes of fighting time, and both carry the extra time a title fight tends to add around the edges — pre-fight introductions, belt presentation if there's a new champion, and a longer in-cage interview after the main event. That's the main reason this card's actual walkout time skews later than a typical five-fight main card.
The one thing worth doing with this
Treat 10:30 PM ET as a reasonable point to sit down, since it catches the back half of the Harrison-Nunes title fight before the main event itself, and treat midnight as a sensible outer edge rather than a hard deadline. Checking a live results feed around 11:00 is the simplest way to tell whether the card is running fast or slow before deciding exactly when the heavyweight title fight is likely to actually start.
