Liam Heslin (aka LiamPicksFights) is a massive combat sports fan with over a decade of experience competing in wrestling and grappling martial arts. For each UFC event, he produces the MMA DFS and sports betting breakdown for RotoGrinders.

The UFC Noche card has fallen off a bit from the spectacle that was the Sphere, but the show must go on, and the fights are a plenty, so let’s begin with the hastily rebooked TUF Finale in the welterweight division and work our way through the card from there.

Note: All DFS salaries listed are from DraftKings & all odds quoted are from FanDuel Sportsbook.

MMA DFS and Betting Breakdown: Noche UFC – Lopes vs. Silva

Daniil Donchenko ($8,800) vs. Rodrigo Sezinando ($7,400)

Fight Odds: -210 Donchenko vs. +168 Sezinando
Weight Class: 170lb. (Welterweight)

Daniil Donchenko and Rodrigo Senzinando are finally set to due battle after their initial meeting was postponed. These fighters are the welterweight finalists for the Ultimate Fighter Season 33. Donchenko is an explosive knockout artist with dynamic power. Senzinando is well rounded, but I think his best path in this fight is to look for his takedowns and try to assert his heavy top game against his opponent.

Donchenko’s elbows are liable to cut any man and change the trajectory of the fight, but I see his opponent getting to his takedowns more often than not, and he can either hunt the submission finish or look to camp on top and bank 2 rounds to win the Ultimate Fighter crown.

Prediction: Rodrigo Sezinando defeats Daniil Donchenko via SUB/DEC

Alice Pereira ($8,600) vs. Montserrat Rendon ($7,600)
