Check out my best bet below for Bilal Hasan vs. Luis Gurule at tonight’s UFC 334 event.
Bilal Hasan to Win by KO/TKO/DQ in Round 1 (+120)
Hasan now calls Everett, Washington, home and has spent a lot of time training with former UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson. On August 11, Hasan knocked out Mridul Saikia in the first round on Dana White’s Contender Series, which earned him a UFC contract. Then, 18 days after his DWCS appearance, Hasan continued his knockout streak in his UFC debut against Nilson Rojas. Gurule is 1-2 in 2026 and is coming off a May loss to Rei Tsuruya. Since making his UFC debut in April 2025, Gurule has gone 1-4 in the promotion. His lone UFC win came against Daniel Barez.
In this fight on DraftKings Sportsbook, Hasan is a massive -1000 favorite while Gurule is a +650 underdog. This contest has an over/under of 1.5 rounds, with the under at -175 and the over at +135. Hasan is two inches taller (5’7″ vs. 5’5″) and has a six-inch advantage in standing reach (70″ vs. 64″) over Gurule.
Including his DWCS fight, Hasan is averaging an absurd 9.01 significant strikes per minute. Gurule struggles on defense, allowing 5.35 significant strikes to opponents. I foresee Hasan using his athleticism, quickness, and elite striking to pressure Gurule early, leading to a knockout. Two of Hasan’s previous three wins came in the first round, and if he enters this fight with his usual confidence and high volume, I don’t see Gurule lasting long. You can get Hasan at +120 to win by KO/TKO/DQ in the first round.
