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

Bward586:\tYakhyaev

Which fight are you most likely to avoid and why? <\/p>\n

Moneyball16: Delano \/ Ruchala \u2013 Combined, these fighters have 1 UFC fight and 1 Contender Series fight, so we don\u2019t have a ton of information on them. However, from what I have found, there isn\u2019t a reason to think it\u2019s going to be an especially high-scoring fight. First of all, it is pretty likely to go to a decision at -118. Also, the price points for these fighters just aren\u2019t great. Delano is surrounded by high-upside fighters, while if you can just find a little more salary, you can find underdogs with considerably higher win odds than Ruchala.<\/p>\n

Bward586: Gatto \/ Barbosa \u2013 All three women\u2019s fights are pretty weak DFS options, but at least there is a case that one (or both) of Ricci or Jandiroba can land takedowns, while Pereira, in theory, is a high-volume striker. We do not get either of those upside cases in Gatto \/ Barbosa, which is equally unlikely to end inside the distance.<\/p>\n

LiamPicksFights: I do not like the idea of stacking this main event. Either guy can finish or be finished early. I think you need to pick a side in this main event, as both guys are proven scorers in their wins. Moicano is my preferred option. I think he is more likely to finish early (front-loaded win condition), he offers salary relief ($7,400), and he has scored 95 or more points in each of his last 8 UFC wins. Duncan\u2019s upside is his 15% leverage to the field (35% projected ownership compared to 50%).<\/p>\n
