MMA DFS Picks: DraftKings Expert Survey for UFC Fight Night – Bautista vs. Oliveira

Who is your favorite fighter to spend up for in cash games?

Moneyball16: Javid Basharat
Bward586: Oleksiejczuk
LiamPicksFights: Oleksiejczuk

What are your thoughts about stacking the 5-round fight in cash games?

Moneyball16: I think this is probably a stack in cash games. The fight has pretty good odds to go the full 25 minutes (+140), the fight itself is closer than 60/40, and there is solid potential for both striking and grappling from both of these fighters.

Bward586: I tend to default to stacking 5-round fights when there’s only one of them and will probably continue to do so here, but there’s a case for fading Bautista at $8,800. There are plenty of other higher-upside plays at the top of the salary scale, and a decision win probably doesn’t lead to him outscoring the fighters around him, while Oliveira has a high floor if it goes all 25 minutes and is cheap at $7,400.
