Here are my quick thoughts on the UFC 334 Opening Odds:
- The main event of UFC 334 sees UFC heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane put his belt on the line against Josh Hokit. Gane is coming off a second-round TKO win over Alex Pereira that saw him win the interim belt, and he was elevated to undisputed champ after Tom Aspinall vacated the belt due to an eye injury. As for Hokit, he has only been in the UFC for a year, and he is already 4-0 with three finishes. While Hokit is certainly deserving of this title shot, Gane is the superior striker, and if he can keep this fight standing, he should be able to knock Hokit out with strikes.
- In the co-main event, we have UFC women’s bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison defending her belt against Amanda Nunes. Harrison won the title last July but has not defended it yet due to a neck injury. Nunes, meanwhile, is returning to the Octagon after having missed the last three years due to retirement. Harrison will have the grappling advantage in this bout, but if Nunes can keep this fight on the feet, she is going to have a really good chance of knocking Harrison out and winning her belt back.
