Welcome back everyone for a Contrarian Take on UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Teixeira. We had another good fight card last weekend on Halloween, with Uriah Hall knocking out Anderson Silva in the 4th round in the Main Event. Interestingly, Hall missed the winning lineup on DraftKings, making it two cards in a row where the 5-round Main Event did not make the winning lineup. That’s a bit unusual but not rare – in 32 cards with a 5-round fight this year, 22 of them (68.8%) have featured a fighter (sometimes both) from the longer fight. Looking forward to this weekend, we have an 11-fight card featuring a 5-round Main Event between Thiago Santos and Glover Teixeira. Let’s take a look and see if we can find some under-owned fighters that can help our lineups.
