Welcome to the weekend and to SquirrelPatrol’s Takedowns for UFC 303 – Pereira vs. Prochazka 2. This PPV Card has seen a number of replacement fights after Connor McGregor had to pull out of the card, but we have an excellent Main Event rematch between Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka. This card also features Payton Talbott with some of the strongest odds for a win in UFC history, along with some high-upside underdogs that could put up a big fantasy score in a win. Let’s see if we can find some overlooked fighters to help us take down a GPP this weekend.
MMA DFS Picks: SquirrelPatrol’s Takedowns for UFC 303 – Pereira vs. Prochazka 2
Macy Chiasson
DraftKings: $7,400
FanDuel: $13
Macy Chiasson may be the underdog I roster most often in my lineups, but it’s worth noting that I may end up under the field if her pOWN% gets steamed into the 50% range. Chiasson has seen the odds move in her favor throughout the week, and her fight is now a 50/50 toss up against Mayra Bueno Silva. That gives Chiasson some of the best win odds for her $7,400 price tag that I can remember for a fighter not involved in an opponent switch. Chiasson should score well in a win and is just +110 to score over 2.5 takedowns.
