MMA DFS Picks: DraftKings Expert Survey for UFC Fight Night – Tuivasa vs. Tybura
What is the fight you are most likely to avoid and why?
eys819: Moises/Ramirez – Moises is the 2nd-highest priced fighter, but he is barely favored to win inside the distance. Historically, he has not produced enough volume to pay off this salary in a decision victory. Ramirez is making his UFC debut as a short-notice replacement. An early Moises submission is the most likely path for this fade to go wrong, but even that may not be enough at his salary.
Moneyball16: Culibao/Silva – Silva is a new fighter to the UFC and a bit of a wild card, but Culibao is a known DFS product and that product stinks! His 7 fights have been fought at a horrible pace, and Culibao has not landed a UFC takedown. This fight is also a solid favorite to go to a decision.
h3budda: Chiasson/Kianzad – This is the glaring fight that should go to a decision and lacks finishing upside. It is -325 to go to a decision, which really stands out as an avoid on this card. Chiasson has been a good fantasy scorer over 3 rounds, so it’s a very tricky slate.
squirrelpatrol: Moises/Ramirez – Moises isn’t particularly high volume, so he needs the early finish to pay off his price. He has less of a chance at getting that early finish as the similarly-priced Nzechukwu and less volume than the cheaper Davis. Ramirez is making his UFC debut and a heavy underdog to get the win.
