Why it matters: Hokit is +205 against Gane, who is -250, for the Nov. 14 heavyweight title at Madison Square Garden. Beating Gane would put Hokit’s UFC debut-to-title run alongside Pereira’s and Adesanya’s as one of the promotion’s most impressive first 12 months, a stark contrast to a division recently unsettled by Francis Ngannou’s departure, Jon Jones’ retirement and Tom Aspinall’s injury.
