Welcome to the weekend and to SquirrelPatrol’s Takedowns for UFC Fight Night: Perez vs. Taira. This card is being held back at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, NV and features a five-round middleweight Main Event between Tatsuro Taira and Alex Perez. This card has lost two fights over the past couple of days, with heavy-favorite Ikram Aliskerov being moved to the main event next weekend and the Joshua Van – Tagir Ulanbekov fight getting cancelled at weigh-ins. This card features some very heavy favorites who will see pOwn% to match their strong odds, as well as some higher-volume fighters who could score well in a decision. 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 – Perez vs. Taira
Brady Hiestand
DraftKings: $7,500
FanDuel: $13
Brady Hiestand is priced at just $7,500 on DraftKings, but he has at least three takedowns in each of his UFC fights, and has scored over 76 DK points in each of his fights, one of which was a loss. Hiestand is one of about six underdogs priced in the middle range with about +165 odds for a win (36% implied win probability), but Hiestand may have the safest floor with volume both on the feet and on the mat.
