UFC 334 Main Card Betting Tips

Ciryl Gane to win via unanimous decision

Ciryl Gane will enter the UFC 334 main event as the defending champion for the first time in his career. The Frenchman has been given the title on a technicality after Tom Aspinall gave up the belt (ironically due to an injury inflicted by a Gane foul). Most recently, Bon Gamin ran through Alex Pereira and made Poatan look like a day-one beginner on The White House lawn. 

Josh Hokit’s mouth has got him the opportunity in New York, not his skill. Yes, he is skilled, but coming off a win over a has-been, Derek Lewis shouldn’t warrant a title shot. He’s got lightning-quick hands and relentless pressure, and yet, Gane should win easily.

Expect Hokit to wrestle, but Gane’s footwork will be the difference maker in this one, and the cream will rise to the top.

Kayla Harrison via Round 3 sub

This is on the assumption that Harrison’s neck injury won’t plague her during the fight and that she’s as fit as she was when she won the belt against Julianna Pena back in June 2025. Harrison has been far more active than Nunes, who will be returning from a three-year retirement. Since Nunes’ last fight, Harrison has fought four times, including three UFC fights.

It’ll likely be a tentative start from both women, but with Nunes’ power naturally waning later on in the fight, the first few rounds could be uneventful. Expect Harrison to be cautious in closing the distance but eventually get her hands on Nunes and take her down.

By the third round, Harrison will finally fatigue Nunes after her smothering top game and lock in a submission in the third round.

Bilal Hasan via round 1 KO

There’s a reason that Bilal Hasan is getting an almighty push by Dana White and co. The undefeated flyweight is just 1-0 in the UFC, but after winning on the Contender Series in August and having his UFC debut the same month, both of which saw him score a knockout, it’s understandable why.

Hasan takes on the sacrificial lamb that is Luis Gurule. The American is 11-4 but has a record of 1-4 in his last five fights… Hasan by round-one knockout.
