Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at the time of publishing. Playable to +142.
The Co-Main Event at UFC 334 will see Kayla Harrison take on Amanda Nunes. This will be a fight in the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Division and will be for the UFC Women’s Bantamweight title.

Harrison is the clear favorite in this fight, as she is the one currently holding the UFC Women’s Bantamweight title. That being, said, Nunes looks to be the best betting option. Nunes has long been known as the “Greatest Women’s UFC Fighter,” and while Harrison has risen the ranks quickly, she still has just 3 UFC fights to her name. Further, Nunes has the advantage in striking volume and grappling. For that reason, backing Nunes to win will be our best bet.
