Tonight, the UFC makes its annual stop in New York City at the World’s Most Famous Arena, Madison Square Garden. This marks the 10th anniversary of the UFC’s debut in NYC and MSG in 2016. The UFC has hosted 12 prior events in New York, with nine taking place at Madison Square Garden. This is the sixth consecutive year the UFC has hosted an event in NYC in November.
In the Main Event of UFC 334, Ciryl Gane is defending the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship for the first time against rising star Josh Hokit. At the UFC’s Freedom 250 card in June, Gane beat Alex Pereira to win the Interim title but was later elevated to Undisputed Champion after Tom Aspinall vacated it due to injury. Since losing to Jon Jones at UFC 285 in March 2023, Gane has gone 3-0 with one no-contest. Now Gane will take on Hokit, who is 10-0 with nine finishes and has won four UFC fights in the last 12 months. Hokit’s last two victories came against two longtime UFC veterans, Derrick Lewis and Curtis Blaydes.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Gane is a -230 favorite, with Hokit at +190. Even though Hokit is the underdog, he is getting 91 percent of the handle and 59 percent of bets. 41 percent of bets and nine percent of the handle are on Gane.
17 months after capturing the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship, Kayla Harrison is set to defend her title against former two-division champion Amanda Nunes. Although this is their first fight, Harrison and Nunes have plenty of history together. From 2018 to 2021, Harrison and Nunes were teammates at American Top Team. After losing to Julianna Pena at UFC 269 in December 2021, Nunes left ATT to start her own gym. Nunes beat Irene Aldana in her last fight, which was at UFC 289 in June 2023. Since Harrison made her MMA debut in 2018, there has always been a what-if about a potential matchup between them. Well, the wait is almost over as Saturday night at MSG, two of the greatest female fighters of all time will finally face off. For years, Harrison chased Nunes’ greatness, but since “The Lioness” has retired, she has come back with Harrison on top.
Harrison is a -166 favorite while the former champion is a +140 underdog. In this contest, Nunes is receiving 55 percent of bets, with 45 percent on Harrison. On the handle, Nunes is getting 81 percent with 19 percent for Harrison.
Another intriguing fight on this card sees No. 5 Caio Borralho take on Yousri Belgaroui in a three-round Middleweight contest. Borralho recently got back on track with a win over Reinier de Ridder and is 17-1 with one no contest in his previous 19 bouts. Belgaroui is 11-3 with nine knockouts and is currently on a four-fight knockout streak. In this fight, Borralho is a -162 favorite, while Belgaroui is a +136 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. Borralho is getting 63 percent of bets and 61 percent of the handle. Belgaroui receives 39 percent of the handle and 37 percent of bets.
