I’ve been immersed in the world of mixed martial arts since 2008, following the sport’s evolution from older style-versus-style matchups to today’s high-level competition. My journey goes beyond fandom as I’ve been training MMA since 2013. I got my black belt in Shotokan karate back in 2010, while also training in Muay Thai and kickboxing for three years before transitioning fully into MMA in 2013. Having competed as an amateur fighter, I bring firsthand experience of what it takes to perform inside the cage, which helps me break down fighters’ skills and strategies with depth. I specialize in analyzing striking metrics, grappling efficiency and fighter tendencies to give readers an edge in their fantasy lineups and betting strategies. I’ve been writing about MMA and fantasy sports for over five years, combining analytical rigor and combat sports storytelling with real-world fight experience. Before MMA, I honed my competitive instincts through fantasy soccer, learning how to interpret data to predict performance. My work focuses on delivering evidence-based analysis that helps fans and fantasy players make smarter, more confident decisions. You can follow my latest fight breakdowns, predictions, and analysis threads on X @sumpor5.

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC Vegas 111: Bonfim vs. Brown

After yet another strange event last weekend, we're returning to the Apex in Las Vegas for UFC Vegas 111.
