MMA DFS Picks: SquirrelPatrol’s Takedowns for UFC Fight Night – Burns vs. Brady
Yanal Ashmouz
DraftKings: $8,000
FanDuel: $15
Yanal Ashmouz is an excellent target for tournaments in the middle range of pricing as a slight +105 underdog in what is expected to be a high paced fight against Trevor Peek. Ashmouz put up an excellent score in his UFC debut last year, scoring 101.2 DK points in an upset win against Sam Patterson before losing a decision in his next fight in which he suffered a broken wrist. Fight props show Ashmouz with -135 odds for over 1.5 takedowns, so he could add some grappling points in a win to go along with his striking.
