Mesquita is the real deal

Women's bantamweight up-and-comer Bia Mesquita picked up a statement win against Macy Chiasson, submitting her with a rear-naked choke at the 3:23 mark of the first round.

Mesquita made some history with the victory, surpassing Ronda Rousey for the most submissions in UFC women's bantamweight history (four), according to UFC research analyst Michael Carroll. She also became the first women's fighter in UFC history to win four straight fights by submission.

The 35-year-old Brazilian, who debuted in the Octagon in October 2025, remained undefeated, lifting her professional record to 9-0. She's due for a big step up in competition next and could find herself in the title conversation in 2027.

Diaz cruises to win

Juan Diaz defeated Alatengheili via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) in a bantamweight bout.

Diaz comfortably won all three rounds, battering his opponent on the feet throughout the fight.

The 28-year-old Peruvian fighter improved to 2-0 in the Octagon after submitting Malcolm Wellmaker in his debut in May. He's now 17-1-1 as a professional.

Alatengheili, a 34-year-old from China, has alternated wins and losses in his last six appearances.

Elder beats Sanches in curtain jerker

Evan Elder kicked off UFC 334 in entertaining fashion, earning a unanimous decision win over Samuel Sanches in a lightweight bout. All three judges scored the fight 30-26 in his favor.

The first two rounds were back-and-forth and featured several shifts in momentum, with both fighters hurting each other on the feet. The pace slowed down in the third round, and Elder took Sanches down several times to seal the deal. Sanches lost a point late in the third for grabbing the fence.

With the victory, Elder is now riding a four-fight winning streak and hasn't lost since February 2023.

Sanches came up short in his UFC debut. The 23-year-old Brazilian was coming off a first-round knockout win on Dana White's Contender Series in September 2025.

Prefight notes

Gane is defending the heavyweight title for the first time since being promoted to undisputed champion in September after Tom Aspinall vacated the belt due to injury.

The 36-year-old Frenchman captured the interim title at the White House in June, defeating former two-division champion Alex Pereira via second-round TKO. Gane is riding a four-fight unbeaten streak and hasn't lost since facing Jon Jones in a vacant title bout in March 2023.

Hokit is fighting for UFC gold for the first time after one of the fastest rises in the promotion's history. The 29-year-old made his Octagon debut last November and has earned four straight wins - including against Curtis Blaydes and Derrick Lewis - to catapult himself into title contention.

In the UFC 334 co-main event, Kayla Harrison puts the women's bantamweight title on the line in a long-awaited showdown against former two-division champion Amanda Nunes.
