MMA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for UFC Fight Night – Yusuff vs. Barboza
What are your thoughts about stacking the five-round fight in cash?
eys819: The relatively close odds and mid-range pricing make it an attractive stack for a cash game floor. The winner should score well for his price no matter how long the fight lasts. The loser could score poorly if there is an early finish, but by stacking, you lock in the ceiling of the winner in that scenario as well. If the fight lasts into the fourth or fifth round, both fighters should have plenty of opportunity to put up some points.
Moneyball16: Neither of these fighters fight at a great pace for DFS scoring, and it has rather run-of-the-mill odds to go the full 5 rounds. But like most 60/40 5-rounders, this is a stack in cash. I probably like Yusuff a little more than Vegas this week, but I still want both sides of what should be a close fight.
h3budda: There’s almost no doubt you stack this fight for the nice floor of 3.5 rounds or so. There should be competitive striking rounds for as long as it lasts. This is a unique slate where there should be a lot of scoring on underdogs until they are finished. I like the safety of the extra rounds in this spot.
squirrelpatrol: I would stack this five-round fight for cash. The two fighters aren’t the highest scoring in the UFC, but the opportunity cost on the rest of the card with low finishing odds throughout isn’t high enough to outweigh the five-round upside in the main event.
