“IndoNinja” goes again.

Top Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Flyweight prospect Bilal Hasan has booked his second official Octagon appearance, colliding with Luis Gurule at UFC 334 on Sat., Nov. 14, 2026, inside Madison Square Garden in New York City.

MMA Fighting was first to report the news.

Hasan (10-0) burst onto the UFC scene in style, scoring a 45-second knockout over Mridul Saikia during Week 1 of Contender Series Season 10 to earn his contract.

Just 18 days later, Hasan made his official UFC debut at UFC Shanghai, brutally knocking out fellow undefeated newcomer Nilson Rojas in the second round (watch highlights).

Less than two weeks after turning heads in his promotional debut, Hasan already has his next assignment—and it will take place inside “The World’s Most Famous Arena.”

If Hasan makes the walk on Nov. 14, it will mark his third fight in only 95 days. The 25-year-old owns a 90 percent finish rate with eight knockouts and one submission.

Gurule (11-4), meanwhile, has endured a difficult UFC run thus far.

The 32-year-old lost his first three Octagon appearances, suffering a knockout loss to Ode Osbourne in his debut (watch highlights) before dropping consecutive decisions to Jesus Aguilar and Alden Coria.

Gurule finally broke through earlier this year, defeating Daniel Barez via unanimous decision to potentially save his roster spot. However, he returned just 14 days later at UFC Macau and was submitted in the first round by Rei Tsuruya, dropping his promotional record to 1-4.

That makes UFC 334 an enormous opportunity for both Flyweights. Hasan can continue building momentum as one of UFC’s most exciting new prospects, while Gurule may be fighting to preserve his place on the roster.

As of this writing, only one other matchup has been announced for UFC 334: Nazim Sadykhov vs. Jefferson Nascimento. The card does not yet have an official main event.

Hasan wants another highlight. Gurule needs to stop the hype train before it runs directly over him.
