The main card of UFC 334 began with a surprise, then a loud callout.
Luis Gurule, a +700 underdog, turned what was supposed to be a showcase for rising star Bilal Hasan (-1100) into an upset via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). He then spent his post-fight interview directing his ire toward the oddsmakers… and ChatGPT.

“Hey, ChatGPT don’t know s***,” Gurule said, while sporting a large gash over his left eye. “F*** the odds, f*** the haters.”
That line was a callback to when Hasan used the chatbot to predict the outcome during a pre-fight news conference:
Hasan: “What’s your prediction, Chat, this Saturday, Bilal Hasan vs. Luis Gurule?”
ChatGPT: “Big matchup, pulling the latest. I’m calling it, Bilal Hasan by first-round TKO.”
Hasan: “You guys heard it, baby!”
The 25-year-old Hasan entered Saturday with an undefeated record and a penchant for explosive striking. His placement on the main card of a numbered event in his second career UFC fight was a conspicuous decision, clearly intended to get a wider audience familiar with him.
Gurule, the loser in four of his five fights since the start of 2025, disrupted those plans. Hasan landed more significant strikes but Gurule was recorded as having more total strikes overall, as well a monopoly on ground control time after landing two of five takedown attempts.

As Gurule said after the fight, his plan was clearly taking Hasan to the ground:
“There’s only 10 people in here that f***ing believed in me, maybe a handful of people that I train with, and it feels f***ing good,” Gurule said. “I dragged him into deep waters, I knew he couldn’t take it. I knew he couldn’t swim.”
