MMA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for UFC Fight Night: Ankalaev vs. Walker 2
What are your thoughts about stacking the 5-round fight in cash?
eys819: Ankalaev is a strong cash play with multiple paths to a solid score. The stack is a tough one: Despite being a wide underdog, Walker has the ability to end any fight with one strike. But he could also get dominated and score poorly. The floor is not as strong as a typical stack for cash, but there is value in locking in a cheap Walker to avoid disaster in the event that he is the one who ends the fight early.
Moneyball16: Ankalaev is such a big favorite at around 4-1, and this fight has very small odds to go the full 5 rounds. So I would treat Walker basically like almost any other steep underdog in cash and avoid him.
h3budda: There’s a lack of pure value and viable underdogs. You should be stacking on this slate because you are locking in the 5-round possibility. Overall, it seems like a tournament slate.
