This week, we have a 13-fight card in Boise, Idaho. It is headlined by Junior Dos Santos vs Blagoy Ivanov, that is making his UFC debut. DraftKings has smaller competitions for this card because it is only a Fight Night card with lesser known name, but there’s still well over $100k to be obtained. I’ll be chasing my fair share of the money and that I trust you guys will be . Listed below are a few plays I enjoy this weekend along with my fade of the week.
Cash Game play of the week — Alexander Volkanovski ($9,200)
I believe Volkanovski is the”safest” play on this particular card along with his -300 gaming lineup would agree with me. That’s where I will be starting my lineup this week and I’ll figure out the rest from there. Volkanovski averages 116.5 DK points during his first four UFC fights so he has a ton of upside as well. He could potential score more than two other winners on this particular card combined. I really do think he is in drama for GPPs too for this reason, but he will likely be the most peculiar owned fighter on the card and we don’t care about possession as much in money games. I’d suggest paying for the expensive cost in your cash games and I then search for three or more others wins you’re confident in.
GPP play of the week — Junior Dos Santos ($8,700)
JDS ought to be the way better striker in this fight and I think that is where the fight will take place. He can get KO’d at the opening seconds of the fight and score 0 points, but this is what makes him a GPP drama instead of a money match play. With both of these Heavyweights, we need to likely find a KO inside the 25-minues and that I feel the former champion, JDS, will be the one to receive it. He has great takedown defense so he should be able to maintain this fight on the feet where he will have a 4-inch reach benefit to work with.
Underdog play of the week — Niko Price ($7,900)
Niko is going to function as underdog play of this week. The odds demonstrate that the fight should be fairly close and there’s a great chance that he uses his wrestling to gain the advantage. In 5 fights that he hasn’t seen a decision yet, and there’s a chance it stays that way if he receives Brown to the ground. Niko has some slick submissions in his arsenal and a great deal of heart. On the feet, Brown probably has the benefit with his achieve, but Cost does have some sneaky power too, which can not be overlooked. Overall, I enjoy this as a GPP play.
Fade of the week — Alejandro Perez ($9,100)
Perez is the 2nd most expensive fighter on this card and he’s only $100 cheaper than Volkanovski. In my view, Perez will need a finish to really have a shot at paying that expensive salary and that I do not want to invest in that, personally. He has never landed greater than 1 takedown at a fight and Wineland has exceptional takedown defense, therefore we must see this fight occur on the toes. I believe Perez should be the person to get his hands raised in the end but I think it will be through conclusion. If that is true then he could score ~60 points in a win, and at $9.1k that is not likely to win anyone a tournament. I will be full fading Perez this week and hoping he doesn’t get the end and he is my official fade of the week.
