UFC 334 returns to Madison Square Garden on Saturday, marking a decade since the promotion's historic UFC 205 event in New York City. While the main event features Ciryl Gane defending his heavyweight title against Josh Hokit and the co-main event pits Kayla Harrison against Amanda Nunes, the undercard offers several compelling storylines.
Stephen Thompson vs. Charles Radtke
Two-time UFC title challenger Stephen Thompson will make his final walk to the octagon at the same venue where he nearly dethroned welterweight champion Tyron Woodley at UFC 205 a decade ago. The 43-year-old "Wonderboy" enters on a three-fight losing streak but has been matched against Charles Radtke, who holds a 5-2 UFC record with losses only to ranked welterweights Carlos Prates and Mike Malott. Thompson aims to exit on a high note in front of the New York crowd.
Caio Borralho vs. Yousri Belgaroui
No. 6-ranked middleweight Caio Borralho takes a risk against unranked Dutch striker Yousri Belgaroui. Borralho, riding an eight-win streak in his last nine Octagon appearances, could be nearing a title shot. Belgaroui, a former kickboxing opponent of Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya, trains alongside Pereira under Glover Teixeira and is 3-0 in the UFC with all victories by knockout. The fight mirrors Pereira's path, who debuted at Madison Square Garden in 2021 and later won the middleweight title there.
Bilal Hasan vs. Luis Gurule
Flyweight prospect Bilal Hasan, known as "The IndoNinja," makes his third UFC appearance in three months after earning a contract with a 45-second knockout on Dana White's Contender Series and a subsequent promotional debut knockout. Hasan is a heavy favorite against Luis Gurule, who holds a 1-4 UFC record. The matchup highlights the UFC's approach to developing young talent, allowing Hasan to build experience and highlights before facing elite competition.
Additional bouts on the main card include Uros Medic vs. Kevin Holland, Drew Dober vs. Chris Duncan, and Jim Miller vs. Terrance McKinney.
