MMA DFS Picks: DraftKings Expert Survey for UFC Fight Night – Lemos vs. Jandiroba
What are your thoughts about stacking the 5-round fight in cash games?
eys819: The upside on this card is not great, so targeting the floor of a fight expected to last more than three rounds makes sense for cash games. The odds are tight on this one, and stacking guarantees you have the winner, who should score well for the price.
Moneyball16: Gotta stack this one in cash. There are a lot of dud DFS fights on this slate, and this one has solid odds to go the full 5 rounds (+150).
h3budda: There are not a lot of places to go or value on this slate down the board. Stacking makes a lot of sense. You are looking at a -110 for over 3.5 rounds, which would give a nice floor for this fight.
SquirrelPatrol: On almost any other card, I wouldn’t recommend stacking this fight, as it shouldn’t be particularly high-paced and is around even money for over/under 3.5 rounds. On this bleak card for scoring, however, the possibility of extra rounds along with the lack of other appealing options makes this a slate where I’ll stack the main event for cash.
Bward586: SquirrelPatrol nailed this one in that it’s a pretty bad fight for stacking in an absolute sense, but we don’t have many other options. On the positive side, Lemos has fairly high finishing upside, especially early, while Jandiroba is one of the better takedown artists on the card. That means the winner should at least have a strong score, though the floor isn’t great for the eventual loser.

He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
