Who will win Bilal Hasan vs Luis Gurule: Bilal Hasan
Bilal Hasan is a massive 89% favorite, and the UFC knows exactly what they're doing by putting an exciting 10-0-0 prospect against an unproven opponent in Luis Gurule, who is 1-4 in the promotion.
Hasan is an accurate striker with excellent technique, and he won't have to worry too much about a takedown threat from Gurule.
Bilal Hasan vs Luis Gurule top pick: Bilal Hasan by KO/TKO/DQ
The flyweight division is quickly becoming one of the most exciting divisions in the UFC, and Hasan should only add to the hype.
The Indonesian fighter has eight knockouts in 10 pro fights and enters Saturday with a KO in five consecutive bouts. Gurule has a solid chin and has only been knocked out once in 15 fights, but he's definitely hittable.
The 32-year-old absorbs 5.35 significant strikes per minute, and that's far too much against a fast, creative striker like Hasan, who will have no problem finding his chin.
COVERS INTEL: Hasan is averaging an incredible 9.01 significant strikes per minute with a +4.63 differential, while Gurule has a +0.09 differential.Bilal Hasan vs Luis Gurule prop: Bilal Hasan to win in Round 2
Gurule is known for his durability and has only ever been knocked out by Ode Osbourne about a year and a half ago.
Four of Hasan's nine career finishes have come in the second round, so he often takes some time to settle in and figure out his opponent.
Bilal Hasan vs Luis Gurule combo
- Hasan to win by KO/TKO/DQ
- Hasan to win in Round 2
Combining the top two props for the fight, I am banking on Hasan to find the knockout in the second round against Gurule.
Hasan is definitely the more talented fighter, but he lacks experience at this level. Nerves could come into play for the 25-year-old, who will be fighting at only his second UFC event and first numbered card.
It could take some time for Hasan to find his rhythm, but once he does, he'll find the finish in the second round.
