MMA DFS Picks: DraftKings Expert Survey for UFC Fight Night – Hermansson vs. Pyfer

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

eys819: I would definitely start with the upside of Pyfer, but trusting him not to fade if he can’t get a finish in the first 2 rounds is a bit risky. I would go ahead and stack this one to guarantee I have the winner. Hermansson should put up a decent score if he can survive the first couple of rounds.

Moneyball16: Pyfer is a cash lock, but Hermansson you can take or leave. The odds of this one going the full 5 rounds are pretty low (+300), neither fighter fights at a great DFS pace, and Pyfer has the power that can end this fight at any point.

h3budda: I would consider stacking this main event due to the volatility on this card. There are no glaring pricing issues to take advantage of. You are locking in that 5-round floor. The other way would be to get Brasil in and then eat the rest of the chalk.

squirrelpatrol: With Pyfer’s strong odds for winning this fight inside the distance, Hermansson isn’t as appealing as a floor play. The value at the low end of this card is a bit thin, so you can go there in cash, but I’d rather go even cheaper than Hermansson in cash and get more salary to spend up elsewhere.
