MMA DFS Picks: DraftKings Expert Survey for UFC Fight Night – Strickland vs. Hernandez

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

Moneyball16: Hernandez
Bward586: Hernandez
LiamPicksFights: Hernandez

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

Moneyball16: This is an easy stack in cash. It is a slight favorite to go the full 5 rounds, and I think the scoring pace in this fight should be good.

Bward586: This fight features the UFC’s all-time middleweight record holder in significant strikes (Strickland) and the all-time MW record holder in takedowns (Hernandez), and is favored to go the distance. Safe to say it’s a stack.

LiamPicksFights: This is a viable stack. Hernandez is the more proven scoring commodity, with 94+ points in 9 of 9 UFC wins, but Strickland has scored 100+ in a very respectable 8 of 16 UFC wins. Strickland has also scored 51+ points in each of his last three 5-round losses, including a high score of 71.2 against Dricus Du Plessis in their first fight. Both men should be aggressively pushing their game throughout 5 rounds or until a finish materializes.
