UFC 334 in New York features Thompson retirement bout plus Bilal Hasan’s return and other undercard matchups

Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson’s retirement fight headlines UFC 334 on Saturday at Madison Square Garden, with other bouts including Bilal Hasan returning against Luis Gurule.

The Story

UFC 334 takes place Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, as the promotion marks 10 years of classic moments at The World’s Most Famous Arena.

In the main event, Ciryl Gane faces Josh Hokit.

Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson, 43, fights for the final time in the UFC this weekend against Charles Radtke. Thompson is returning to the same venue where he nearly dethroned welterweight champion Tyron Woodley a decade earlier, when their UFC 205 fight earned Fight of the Night honours. Thompson’s UFC 334 retirement bout comes after a run that included two title fights with Woodley, followed by three straight losses.

Radtke enters the matchup with a 5-2 UFC record, with losses limited to ranked welterweights Carlos Prates and Mike Malott.

Two other undercard fights include Caio Borralho vs. Yousri Belgaroui and Bilal Hasan vs. Luis Gurule. Borralho, ranked No. 6 in the middleweight division, is coming off a win over Reinier de Ridder and has an 8-1 record in his past nine Octagon appearances.

Belgaroui is making a step up in competition as an unranked fighter with a 3-0 UFC record, all three victories coming by knockout. The Dutch striker trains alongside Alex Pereira under Glover Teixeira’s tutelage, after having fought both Pereira and Israel Adesanya twice in kickboxing.

Belgaroui also shares a connection to Madison Square Garden: Pereira made his UFC debut at the venue in 2021 before returning the following year to win the middleweight title.

In the flyweight bout, Bilal Hasan is scheduled to face Luis Gurule. Hasan is a graduate of Dana White’s Contender Series and has posted finishes in his UFC run, while Gurule arrives with a 1-4 UFC record. Hasan is expected to be a major favourite heading into Saturday’s fight.
