MMA DFS Picks: DraftKings Expert Survey for UFC Fight Night – Ribas vs. Namajunas
What are your thoughts about stacking the 5-round fight in cash?
eys819: I would definitely stack this fight in cash, as there is a good chance for an extra round or two of high-paced striking (assuming Rose doesn’t revert back to her awful strategy from the Esparza fight). Ribas would be optimal in almost any victory given her low salary, and she racks up enough strikes in a loss to score well enough. Ideally, strikes are traded for 5 rounds, and this fight has a massive floor.
Moneyball16: It’s a stack. Namajunas is not a slam-dunk cash play because her win odds are not great for her price, but I think it’s still a stack in cash.
h3budda: You are absolutely stacking this in cash. It is rare to see a 5-round women’s main event favored to finish inside the distance (-180 FDGTD). This fight will have constant exchanges on the feet or grappling for both fighters to rack up nice floors. As long as Ribas’ chin holds up, you are golden in cash.
squirrelpatrol: I’ll definitely stack this fight for cash games. Namajunas has been an inconsistent fantasy scorer, but she is favored here and has scored well earlier in her career, while Ribas has an excellent floor for her price and decent odds to win the fight.
