Luis Gurule vs. Bilal Hasan

Best Odds on Gurule to Win: +725 (Sports Interaction)
Best Odds on Hasan to Win: -1100 (ToonieBet)

Kicking off the main card at MSG, Luis “Grim” Gurule will aim to extinguish the hot streak of undefeated prospect Bilal “The Indoninja” Hasan. With oddsmakers pegging this clash as the biggest mismatch of the evening, don’t overthink this one, hammer Hasan to take the win by knockout.

After cementing himself as a future star in the UFC by securing a 45-second knockout in his Dana White Contender Series bout, Hasan followed up this performance with yet another stellar showing as he finished Nilson Rojas in his official UFC debut in under three minutes. With some of the most unique striking and devastating knockout power, Hasan is rightfully slated as the biggest favourite on the card.

Sporting a six inch reach advantage over Gurule, who’s gone a poor 1-4 in his UFC tenure, look for this to be a stepping stone for Hasan as he makes a statement with the world’s eyes watching, netting you an easy payday in the process.

While it’s criminal that this fight is set to open the main card over Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson’s retirement bout, at least we can score an easy win off this suspect matchmaking.

Prediction: Hasan to Win by KO/TKO/DQ (-345 @ TonyBet)

Uros Medic vs. Kevin Holland

Best Odds on Medic to Win: -154 (BetVictor)
Best Odds on Holland to Win: +140 (BET99)

Don’t blink or you might just miss this welterweight duel as Uros “The Doctor” Medic takes on Kevin “Trailblazer” Holland. In a clash pitting two of the divisions most lethal finishers against one another, bank on the versatility and durability of Holland to give him the edge on Medic, taking the win by knockout.

While Medic has been on an absolute tear as of late, winning four straight fights by knockout in under 90 seconds, it’s not an unfair statement to call him a one-trick pony. Having shown a mediocre grappling game and his gas tank having rarely been tested in the later rounds, there are still plenty of holes in Medic’s game.

Additionally, while Medic has proven himself a dangerous finisher, he’s also shown he’s equally susceptible to being finished, having been knocked out cold by Punahele Soriano in 31 seconds last year and having suffered two submission losses in his UFC career.

Taking on a veteran of the octagon in Holland who’s shown he’s comfortable in virtually every aspect of a fight, look for the brazen loudmouth to goad Medic into his grasp, land a big shot early on, send Medic to the canvas, and finish the fight within the first two rounds. Even if Medic lands, Holland has shown a granite chin, with his only TKO losses coming from a rib injury to Roman Dolidze and a retirement due to a hand injury against Stephen Thompson.

While he’s a gifted BJJ practitioner, expect Holland to make a statement with his striking ability, notching his 17th UFC win and halting the momentum of Medic as you snag a sizeable payout with this underdog pick.

Prediction: Holland to Win by KO/TKO/DQ (+370 @ TonyBet)

Caio Borralho vs. Yousri Belgaroui

Best Odds on Borralho to Win: -160 (bet365)
Best Odds on Belgaroui to Win: +135 (Sports Interaction)

Cranking up the heat in a monumental middleweight matchup, the scrap between Caio “The Natural” Borralho and Yousri “The Boogeyman” Belgaroui could dictate the next challenger for the 185-pound strap.

While Belgaroui has certainly lived up to the hype since joining the UFC after a successful pro kickboxing career, this matchup with Borralho may exploit his biggest weaknesses. Facing a perennial contender who’s gone up against the top dogs of the division and succeeded, Belgaroui is making a major leap in competition in this bout, one that may be coming too soon.

Even with his four-inch edge in reach, Belgaroui will have a tough time landing against Borralho thanks to his slick striking defence, and grappling ability. Always looking to control the pace of the fight, Borralho is a tactical fighter that uses his high IQ to exploit the biggest vulnerabilites in his opponents game.

Watch as Borralho avoids getting into a slugfest with the Turkish striker, instead landing takedowns and controlling from top position, draining the clock, and cruising to the seventh decision victory of his UFC career.

Prediction: Borralho to Win by DEC (+131 @ TonyBet)

Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes

Best Odds on Harrison to Win: -170 (BET99)
Best Odds on Nunes to Win: +145 (bet365)

Legacy, pride, and UFC gold is all on the line in the co-main event of UFC 334 as two of the best fighters of all time square off to determine who’s the GOAT at 135 lbs. As Kayla Harrison hopes to successfully defend her newly earned title in her first defence, look for the Lioness to take back the belt she never lost as Amanda Nunes takes the win on the judges’ scorecards.

In what’s sure to be a high-level scrap between two well-rounded combatants, there’s several key components of this matchup that will go in favour of Nunes. While there’s no denying the grappling ability of the Olympic gold medalist judoka, Harrison is a weaker fighter in every other regard when compared to Nunes.

Sporting a sensational 82% takedown defence rate through her prolific 18-fight UFC career, Nunes excels at keeping the fight standing. Although Harrison is nearly impossible to move once she gets a takedown, she’s struggled to bring the fight to the ground in her UFC tenure. If Nunes can neutralize the shots from Harrison and keep the fight on the feet, it will play right into her wheelhouse, as Harrison is nowhere near the striker she is.

Additionally, Nunes is more than comfortable taking fights into deep waters, having gone a full five rounds five times in her career and showing excellent cardio and pace when entering the championship rounds. Cardio has been the biggest concern while watching Harrison’s career unfold, having struggled to maintain consistency as the fight goes on.

Watch as Nunes stuffs the early onslaught of takedown attempts from Harrison, draining her of energy, and then piecing her up on the feet for the remainder of the fight, cruising to a unanimous decision win in her return to the octagon, and securing a massive boost to your bankroll as she reclaims her bantamweight title.

Prediction: Nunes to Win by DEC (+550 @ Sports Interaction)

Ciryl Gane vs. Josh Hokit

Best Odds on Gane to Win: -190 (BET99)
Best Odds on Hokit to Win: +165 (bet365)

Set to join the likes of Ali vs. Frazier, Holyfield vs. Lewis, and Jones vs. Miocic, the main event of UFC 334 will see another history-making heavyweight title fight go down from MSG as Ciryl “Bon Gamin” Gane takes on Josh Hokit for the heavyweight crown.

Love him or hate him, few fighters in UFC history have risen to superstardom quite like Hokit. Since earning a UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2025, it took just four fights in less than a year to put him in the spotlight with a title fight in front of him. Set to continue carving out an unlikely underdog story, back Hokit to become the first fighter to knock out Gane as he cements himself as the new UFC heavyweight king.

While it’s safe to say that Gane is the more technical striker of the two, at heavyweight, sometimes a wild fighting style can become more advantageous. Having shown one-shot knockout power, Hokit excels at turning a fight into a brawl, pushing the pace, and forcing his opponent to throw caution to the wind and trade in the pocket.

If Hokit is successful in baiting Gane and getting him out of rhythm, expect him to have no trouble connecting with a devastating shot that sends the Frenchman crashing to the canvas, as he inflicts fight-ending ground-and-pound to capture the gold.

You won’t want to miss this post-fight interview, for better or worse. Back Hokit to finish Gane by knockout and cap off your UFC 334 betting experience with a massive victory on your bet slip.

Prediction: Hokit to Win by KO/TKO/DQ (+459 @ TonyBet)
