Welcome to the weekend and to SquirrelPatrol’s Takedowns for UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Gutierrez. This card is being held at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, with eleven fights left on the slate after losing a fight earlier in the week. This should be a fun card despite having some lesser-known names, with a number of fights likely to end early and some interesting ownership angles for our DFS contests. Let’s dig into the slate and see if we can find some overlooked picks to help us take down a GPP this weekend.
MMA DFS Picks: SquirrelPatrol’s Takedowns for UFC Fight Night – Song vs. Gutierrez
Shannon Ross
DraftKings: $6,700
FanDuel: $8
Shannon Ross did lose his last fight while I was still waiting for the ESPN Plus app to load, getting knocked out by Jesus Aguilar 17 seconds into the first round. But UFC fights are always unpredictable, and Ross’ opponent Hyunsung Park is priced up (and likely to be owned) at a level that exceeds his talent. Ross has a 17% chance to win this fight according to the odds, so one out of every six times he’ll be chalking up a win at the lowest price on the card at less than 4% projected ownership.
