Gane (14-2 1NC, Paris, France) aims to start his reign as undisputed heavyweight champion with a successful defense. A significant talent for over seven years, Gane has secured wins against Alex Pereira, Serghei Spivac, and Tai Tuivasa. He intends to defeat Hokit and prevent him from claiming the title.

Hokit (10-0, Albuquerque, N.M.) enters his first main event with the goal of winning UFC gold. Joining the UFC roster through Dana White’s Contender Series Season 9 just over a year ago, he has quickly climbed the rankings with notable wins against Derrick Lewis, Curtis Blaydes, and Denzel Freeman. Hokit seeks to achieve one of the fastest title runs in UFC history by defeating Gane.

UFC bantamweight champion Harrison (19-1, Coconut Creek, Fla.) aims for a dominant performance. A two-time Olympic judo gold medalist, Harrison is recognized as one of the most accomplished female mixed martial artists, with victories over Julianna Pena, Ketlen Vieira, and Holly Holm. She now looks to defeat Nunes, considered one of the greatest fighters ever.

Nunes (23-5, Miami, Fla.) returns to the Octagon to reassert her status as the best. She is the only fighter to have won and simultaneously defended UFC titles in two divisions. Holding over 15 UFC records, including most knockouts by a woman (7) and longest combined title reign (3,940 days), Nunes intends to prove she remains at the top of the division.
