Bilal Hasan Issues Statement After UFC 334 Defeat Shatters His Unbeaten Record
Flyweight contender Bilal Hasan had asked ChatGPT to predict the outcome of his UFC 334 bout against Luis Gurule and was confident that the AI's forecast would come true. Unfortunately, it did not.
Bilal Hasan Tasted Loss For The First Time At UFC 334
Hasan entered his UFC 334 bout against Gurule on a nine-fight finishing streak and was undefeated. After recapping Hasan's form, ChatGPT on presser day had predicted that Hasan would finish Gurule in the very first round. However, come fight night, the 32-year-old defied both the oddsmakers and AI's prediction.
Hasan appeared to be in a flow state from the opening bell. He kept unleashing a variety of strikes, spinning kicks, and shots to the midsection. The favorite was clearly the faster fighter. Yet, Gurule remained patient and refused to chase him. Instead, "Grim" effectively timed his entries and managed to knock down Hasan in the very first round.
In Rounds 2 and 3, Hasan's striking remained very effective as always. However, Gurule managed to take him down and control him for more than six minutes. Hasan had no answer for Gurule's wrestling and struggled to get back on his feet, despite having trained with all-time MMA great Demetrious Johnson.
In the final round, "The IndoNinja" managed to open up a nasty cut near Gurule's eye, leaving the latter bleeding heavily. However, Gurule refused to let Hasan capitalize on the damage.
Gurule took Hasan down again. This time, the American kept the 25-year-old pinned to the canvas for the majority of the round, which was enough to bring Hasan's undefeated streak to an end by unanimous decision.
