Welcome to the weekend and to SquirrelPatrol’s Takedowns for UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Font. We have 12 fights scheduled on this fight night card (prior to weigh-ins) which will be taking place in front of a crowd in Nashville. This card is one of the more well-rounded I’ve seen, with 15 of the 24 fighters holding 1st round finish odds of at least 10%, with none of them over 34%, so it should be a great card to spread out some ownership among different underdogs. 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: Sandhagen vs. Font
Rob Font
DraftKings: $6,900
FanDuel: $13
I actually had to double-check Rob Font’s game log because I thought the initial reading was a mistake, but it’s not. Font has put up at least 73 DK points in his last seven fights, despite two of those fights being losses. Priced at just $6,900 on DK and with 5 rounds to play with, Font’s win odds (+250) give him a better than 25% chance of breaking the slate with a win, and he still has a chance to land on the winning lineup with another very high-scoring loss. I’ll aim to be over the field with his projected ownership at just 28%.
