UFC 334 Best Bets: Analysis & Predictions

Our UFC 334 best bets are here just in time for a stacked card. UFC 334 takes over Madison Square Garden this Saturday, with Ciryl Gane defending his heavyweight championship against the unbeaten oddball that is Josh Hokit. That would usually be enough to dominate the conversation, but Kayla Harrison vs Amanda Nunes is hardly content to sit quietly underneath it.

There’s good reason to settle in early before the main and co-main, too. Hyped prospects like Bilal Hasan and Juan Diaz could steal the show, while a barnburner like Costa vs Gordon offers a particularly interesting collision of experience and finishing danger.

With two championship fights and plenty to dig into further down the betting board, I’m back to sift through the UFC odds. Let’s get into my UFC 334 full card best bets, fight analysis, and fight night predictions at ibet.

  • Bet on Hasan/Gurule to go under 1 ½ rounds at 1.51 at ibet.
  • Costa to win by KO or submission at 1.77 is our second pick at ibet.
  • Back Mesquita to win by submission at 1.90 at ibet.
  • Boost your bankroll with our UFC odds at ibet sportsbook.

Before we dig into the picks, it is worth exploring the wider offering around this card.

UFC 334 Best Bets

Bilal Hasan 1.07 (-1429) vs. Luis Gurule 6.90 (+590)

Matchup Appeal: The biggest betting favorite at UFC 334 protects an undefeated record and 90% finish rate.

Five fights deep into his UFC career, Luis Gurule is 1-4 and lucky to still hold a position on the flyweight roster. So, why is he a part of the UFC 334 main card opener? Well, that’s pretty simple… the promotion needs to send a lamb to the slaughter.

Despite having just one UFC appearance (a round-two KO over Nilson Rojas), Bila Hasan is riding the biggest 125lb hype train right now, and the power and speed the former CFFC champion has shown justify it.

Hasan is priced beyond -1000, and I don’t believe this is a situation where a huge underdog can shock the masses. Gurule is at a similar level to the opponents Hasan has been finishing non-stop throughout his pro career, and this bout is more a how, not if, for the young star looking to make a statement.

Hasan vs. Gurule Prediction

He’s tall for a flyweight, younger, more athletic, and unbeaten with 9 stoppage wins from 10 pro fights. Hasan has everything we need to be entertained, including a sniper-like striking offense that can punish kicks and punches at distance or up close.

I think it’s obvious Gurule needs to wrestle here, but he isn’t a grappling standout, so Hasan’s credible takedown defense and scrambling should hold up.

Given the insanely priced money line, we’ll back Hasan to continue his finishing ways in under 1 ½ rounds. Gurule has already been finished in the UFC on multiple occasions, and Hasan is arguably the most dangerous finisher he’s faced to date.

Hasan vs. Gurule Best Bet: Under 1 ½ Rounds 1.51 (-196)

Melquizael Costa 1.24 (-417) vs. Jared Gordon 3.65 (+265)

Matchup Appeal: A weight class change and durability issues.

Melquizael Costa has been a surprising entrant to the top featherweight ranks in recent years, but his maiden main event against Arnold Allen earlier this year ended a six-fight win streak. As a result, he’s now moving to 155lbs, and despite the size difference, it won’t be a disadvantage this weekend.

That’s because he’s fighting Jarden Gordon. The 5’9” lightweight is a well-experienced UFC fighter at this point, but a 9-8 record isn’t exactly alarming for his foes, and he’s returning from back-to-back stoppage losses.

Costa vs. Gordon Prediction

Costa won’t just hold the significantly better record (7-3 UFC), but he’s 8 years younger with a 3” reach advantage. Not to mention, he’s already dispatched every older veteran he’s faced (Ige, Erosa, Fili), and those names are arguably more talented and dangerous than Gordon.

Both men are pretty well-rounded, but Costa is a level above in every area. He can win a striking battle while also having the BJJ to fall back on. With Gordon’s concerning rate of stoppage losses, the bigger man should be able to finish this one, so we’ll take him to win ITD for an odds boost.

Costa vs. Gordon Best Bet: Costa by KO or Submissionn 1.77 (-130)

Bia Mesquita 1.34 (-294) vs. Macy Chiasson 3.00 (+200)

Matchup Appeal: An IBJJ champ versus a poor takedown defense.

Shockingly, Melissa Mullins rocked Bia Mesquita early before losing to an armbar submission. Previously, the Brazilian had looked untouchable, but she’s still 3-0 in the UFC with three submission wins and an elite grappling game that will be difficult to stop.

Then we have veteran fighter Macy Chiasson, riding a three-fight losing streak and returning from a fight with Ailin Perez, where she was easily taken down six times and surrendered over 7 minutes of control.

Mesquita vs. Chiasson Prediction

I’m sure you can see where I’m going with this; Perez isn’t half the grappler that Mesquita is, and her takedowns over Chiasson came effortlessly. And sure, Chiasson will probably be the better striker, and he’s quite long, but we likely won’t even get to see that.

With American Top Team behind her and Brazilian jiu-jitsu credentials far superior to 99% of women in this division, we’re taking Mesquita to snatch her fourth submission win, and hopefully she won’t entertain any sort of striking whatsoever… she doesn’t need it!

Mesquita vs. Chiasson Best Bet: Mesquita by Submission 1.90 (-111)
