Welcome to the weekend and to SquirrelPatrol’s Takedowns for UFC Fight Night – Lewis vs. Nascimento. This card is being held in St. Louis, Missouri, with three fighters – Joaquin Buckley, Sean Woodson, and Chalres Johnson – fighting in their hometown. We’re down to 12 fights after the match between Kevin Jousset and Jared Gooden was cancelled on Friday due to medical issues on Gooden’s side. While this card doesn’t have the star power of a PPV event, it does have some very interesting DFS dynamics and Derrick Lewis in the main event as well. 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 Fight Night – Lewis vs. Nascimento
Nursulton Ruziboev
DraftKings: $7,500
FanDuel: $14
Nursulton Ruziboev will likely be one of the more popular underdogs on this slate, but he deserves the ownership with some big factors in his favor. He has arguably the best win equity for the price on this slate, with +115 win odds that are equal to or better than many of the fighters more expensive than him on the price list. He also has a history of first-round wins and has scored 97 and 105 DK points in his first two UFC fights. Ruziboev is going up against hometown favorite Joaquin Buckley, but if Ruziboev can score the upset, he has an excellent chance of landing on the winning lineup at his low $7,500 price.
