MMA DFS Picks: DraftKings Expert Survey for UFC Fight Night – Tybura vs. Spivac 2

Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, projected ownership, etc.) on the board and why?

SquirrelPatrol: Grigoriou – I like Grigoriou not just for his strong odds to win (-270) and his ITD odds (-115) but for his mid-level $8,800 price tag as well. The value on Gutierrez could cause people to jam in the higher-priced options with the savings, but there is no reason Grigoriou can’t be the highest scorer on the slate once we have our ten winning fighters.

Moneyball16: Gutierrez – He is the biggest favorite on the slate at only $7,000 because of a late replacement opponent. The fact that this is a very short 10-fight slate makes him even more appealing because when the number of opportunities for a low-priced winner goes down, it becomes more appealing to do your best to get someone like Gutierrez into your lineup.

h3budda: Gutierrez – You are dealt a -350 favorite priced as a significant underdog. This is a no-brainer because he will have an outside shot at a finish but should be able to cover the price tag in almost any form of a win. He has an amazing floor and ceiling for a significant favorite.

Bward586: Diniz – He’s projecting for single-digit ownership with a $7,200 salary but is just a +170 underdog. He’s finished all seven of his professional fights via knockout, leaving the first round just once. While it’s a tough stylistic matchup with Karl Williams — who has a solid wrestling background — the converted kickboxer has passed every test so far. Williams isn’t much of a finisher, so Diniz will get at least three chances to land a knockout shot in this one.
