It’s Fight Day for UFC 334 and we have one of the more highly anticipated cards of the year on the way from Madison Square Garden in NYC tonight!

The card features 13 matchups and will be headlined by Ciryl Gane and Josh Hokit throwing down for the UFC Heavyweight title while Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes finally meet in the co-main.

24 out of 26 fighters successfully made weight for the event with Juan Diaz missing the bantamweight limit by 0.4 pounds and Terrance McKinney missing the lightweight limit by 4.2 pounds.

Almeida vs Johnson has also been moved to a 190-pound catchweight bout at Almeida’s request.

UFC 334 Picks & Predictions

My favorite picks for UFC 334 are Bilal Hasan, Juan Diaz, Melky Costa and Bia Mesquita.

My favorite potential betting upsets are Amanda Nunes and Kevin Holland.

Hasan is the biggest favorite on the card and being given an opportunity to turn himself into a star opening the main card against Luis Gurule.

I think Hasan will the much more dangerous fighter on the feet and he should be able to find a highlight reel finish sometime pretty early.

Diaz missed weight by less than a pound but don’t think it’ll have much effect on this one.

I expect the dangerous Peruvian prospect to follow up on his win over Malcolm Wellmaker with another impressive showing to improve to 2-0 in the promotion.

Costa looks to bounce back from a loss to Arnold Allen in his first main event spot and gets a sizeable step back in competition here against Jared Gordon.

I think Gordon could be competitive early, but Costa should be able to pull away as the fight progresses.

Mesquita is 3-0 in the promotion and quickly working her way through the women’s bantamweight division.

I think her grappling will be too much for Macy Chiasson once it goes to the ground and she should find a finish.

Holland will need to avoid the opening onslaught that Uros Medic will bring, but should be able to manage distance and take over down the stretch if he survives early.

Nunes is coming off a long layoff and will need to be on point early against Harrison, but if she can stay off her back, I think she has the striking edge to get this one done.

UFC 334 Betting Card

For the UFC 334 betting card, we have a pretty even mix of straight plays and small parlays.

The straight bets are Duncan by Decision (+400 for .5 units), Holland by Submission (+450 for .5 units), Nunes ML (+163 for .5 units) and Nunes to Win Inside the Distance (+275 for .5 units).

The UFC 334 parlays are Diaz ML + Duncan to Win and Over 1.5 Rounds (+198 for .5 units), Thompson ML + Borralho ML (+168 for .5 units), Mesquita ML + Gane ML (+112 for .5 units) and Holland ML + Gane ML (+280 for .5 units).

I think Chris Duncan will be the more well-rounded fighter in his matchup against Drew Dober and should be able to hold his own in the striking exchanges while mixing in takedowns and submission attempts if needed.

Thompson is making his final walk to the octagon but still should have the striking upside here against Charles Radke to work his way to a decision win.

Borralho will need takedowns and control to avoid the power of Belgaroui, but think he’ll be able to find enough of both to grind out a close win.

Hokit will have a path in the main event if he can get his takedowns going, but Gane should be significantly better on the feet managing his distance and picking spots.

I think Hokit will get over-confident on the feet and caught coming in at some point in the early rounds.

That’s a total of eight bets for 3.75 units on the UFC 334 betting card.

UFC Vegas 124 Quick Recap

Another subpar effort on the betting card last weekend finishing -2 units on the bets for UFC Vegas 124.

Trusting Kondratavicius was a horrible choice in hindsight and luck didn’t go our way with Elijah Smith walking through Davey Grant for a quick KO/TKO win killing our double chance play.
