MMA DFS Picks: DraftKings Expert Survey for UFC Fight Night \u2013 Emmett vs. Vallejos Who is your favorite fighter to spend up for in cash games? <\/p>\n

What are your thoughts about stacking the 5-round fight in cash games? <\/p>\n

Moneyball16: I will probably only be playing Vallejos in cash. Emmett isn\u2019t the worst cash option, but his chances of winning are the 2nd-lowest on the slate, the odds of going the full 5 rounds are only OK, and I expect this fight to be a relatively low-scoring striking affair.<\/p>\n

Bward586: I\u2019m really struggling to find viable underdogs, so that leads me to wanting some of Emmett (and thus stacking this fight) by default. The underdog Emmett is the card\u2019s cheapest fighter but has been knocked out in just 1 fight since turning pro in 2011. With this fight favored slightly to go over 3.5 rounds, he should at least have a solid floor \u2013 and could potentially sneak into the optimal even in a loss.<\/p>\n
