MMA DFS Picks: DraftKings Expert Survey for UFC Fight Night – Moreno vs. Kavanagh

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

Moneyball16: Moreno
Bward586: Luna
LiamPicksFights: Rodriguez

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

Moneyball16: This is a weird slate in that there are a ton of huge favorites, and despite Moreno being a 2-1 favorite, this is actually the 2nd-closest fight on the slate. Also, it is favored to go the full 5 rounds (-118). I don’t think this fight will have a great scoring pace, and it doesn’t have the same upside as many 5-round fights, but the floor is high, so I think it is an easy stack in cash games.

Bward586: Given the salary dynamics, we need cheap fighters somewhere, making this one an auto-stack. I expect Kavanagh to have enough early success to give him a solid floor, even if he’s ultimately finished in the later rounds, while Moreno should take over down the stretch and score well himself.

LiamPicksFights: Barring an early KO from Lone’er Kavanagh, I think this fight is likely to see minutes. Kavanagh offers the early-finish upside and salary relief, while Moreno offers proven 5-round cardio and 90+ points in 7 of 11 UFC wins. Stacking is viable. Both fighters are willing to mix in takedown attempts and are capable of landing and absorbing knockdowns.

Which fight are you most likely to avoid and why?
