Bekoev is 20-4 with 16 finishes in his MMA career. Meanwhile, his opponent, Tresean Gore, has 14 fewer fights, with a 6-4 record and five finishes. Gore has lost two consecutive bouts, with his last victory coming against Antonio Trocoli in November 2024.<\/p>\n In this contest, Bekoev is a much better all-around fighter than Gore is. Bekoev averages more significant strikes (4.07 vs. 2.76) at a higher rate (45% vs. 42%). Bekoev has scored 113.6, 124.3, and 36.1 fantasy points and showed his potential in his first two fights in the UFC. If Bekoev can implement his versatile skill set against Gore, he should be able to find a ton of success in this contest. <\/p>\n Tabatha Ricci ($8,300)<\/p>\n In the co-main event of this week\u2019s UFC Fight Night, two top 10 Women\u2019s Strawweight contenders, No. 3 Virna Jandiroba and No. 7 Tabatha Ricci, face off. Jandiroba lost to Mackenzie Dern at UFC 321 in a title fight but won five consecutive bouts before that. Meanwhile, Ricci is coming off a knockout victory over Amanda Rivas in July 2025. In the UFC, Ricci is 7-3 while Jandiroba is 8-4. <\/p>\n In this matchup, Jandiroba has a three-inch reach advantage (64\u2033 vs. 61\u2033) and is taller (5\u20193\u2033 vs. 5\u20191\u2033). On the ground, both fighters are comparable. Jandiroba lands 2.85 takedowns per 15 minutes compared to Ricci\u2019s 2.69. Both fighters have a 37 percent takedown accuracy, and Jandiroba has a four percent better takedown defense. <\/p>\n In the striking department, Ricci has the advantage, averaging 1.85 more significant strikes per minute than Jandiroba. In two of her previous three fights, Ricci has scored at least 102 fantasy points. Since Jandiroba has the physical advantages, Ricci will need to be the more aggressive fighter in this matchup. At $8,300, Ricci possesses elite upside and can be a lineup-winning fighter for this event. <\/p>\n Renato Moicano ($7,400)<\/p>\n During Renato Moicano\u2019s four-fight winning streak from November 2022 to September 2024, he was performing at an elite fantasy level as well. Moicano recorded 95.2, 97, 115.1, and 108.2 fantasy points during his previous winning streak. <\/p>\n When Moicano is aggressive and confident, he can be an elite fighter. But recently, he has been inconsistent and has struggled defending top-tier opponents. Although Duncan is rising in the Lightweight division, he isn\u2019t as proven as Moicano\u2019s previous opponents. <\/p>\n Moicano has a plethora of big fight experience and should use that to his advantage against Duncan. Duncan might be the better overall striker, but Moicano has the power advantage. Both fighters are familiar with each other as they used to train together. Getting Moicano at\u00a0$7,400\u00a0is excellent value, given his potential when he is at his best. <\/p>\n Set your\u00a0DraftKings<\/a>\u00a0fantasy MMA lineups here: UFC $333K Throwdown [$100K to 1st]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan Wohl gives his picks for Saturday\u2019s UFC Fight Night, headlined by Renato Moicano vs. Chris Duncan.
