MMA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for UFC Fight Night – Almeida vs. Lewis
What are your thoughts about stacking the five-round fight in cash?
eys819: This one is definitely not a stack, as it should be over within the first two rounds (probably within the first round). Almeida is a 5:1 favorite and the clear cash play. Lewis generally only has one path to victory in his fights (an early knockout). I don’t think he is going to be able to stay on his feet where his power can be a factor.
Moneyball16: This is absolutely not a stack. Almeida is a great cash play, but do not play Derrick Lewis in cash. Almeida is -165 to win in the first round and has absorbed only nine significant strikes in his first six UFC/DWCS fights.
h3budda: No stack is needed with the stylistic matchup here. Almeida is a superb grappler and should limit all of Lewis’ floor and upside. You would be better off taking someone like Dalby, who has been durable throughout his UFC run. Tough slate for cash all around.
