Yanis Ghemmouri Set For UFC Debut Against Hometown Favorite

Yanis Ghemmouri (12-1) is set for his UFC debut on Saturday, but not without some major roadblocks.

With a mixture of finishing abilities, three of his 12 wins have come by knockout/TKO, while another four have […]


William Gomis Looking To Go 3-0 In The Octagon On Saturday

William Gomis (12-2) improved to 2-0 inside the Octagon after a split-decision win over Francis Marshall back in April. Though both of his UFC wins have come by decision, six of his previous 10 UFC wins have come by knockout/TKO. DraftKings sees Gomis as the favorite with a salary of $8,400. He averages 60.8 fantasy […]


Manolo Zecchini Set For Big UFC Debut On Enemy Turf

Manolo Zecchini (11-3) will make his UFC debut against a fellow newcomer in Morgan Charriere on Saturday. The big difference is the Italian will be walking onto foreign turf to face the French fighter in Paris. A dangerous striker like his opponent, nine of his 11 wins have come by knockout/TKO. The only point to […]


Morgan Charriere Set For UFC Debut In Home Country

Former Cage Warriors featherweight champion Morgan Charriere (18-9-1) will make his UFC debut against Manolo Zecchini on Saturday. A dangerous striker, 10 of his 18 wins have come by knockout/TKO, with an additional three submission wins. Charriere enters the contest on a three-fight winning streak. DraftKings sees the newcomer as the big favorite with a […]


Ryan Spann Unable To Earn A Victory In Co-Main Event

Spann did have a bright moment in the second round, sending Smith reeling to […]

It was a tough defeat on Saturday for Fernie Garcia, who now moves to 0-3 in the UFC. In his 15-minute bout with Rinya Nakamura, he only landed 15 significant strikes compared to the 36 of Nakamura. The wrestling and ground game was also a weak point for Garcia in this one, getting taken down […]


Rinya Nakamura Continues To Shine

Rinya Nakamura showed his wrestling game is continuing to grow with a decision win over Fernie Garcia on Saturday. In 15 minutes of action, Nakamura landed 36 significant strikes compared to the 15 of Garcia. Nakamura was also 4-for-4 on his takedowns and owned 9:26 of control time. He also displayed a solid submission game, […]


Ryan Spann Looking To Crack Top 10 With Co-Main-Event Win

Sitting at No. 10 in the UFC's light-heavyweight rankings, Ryan Spann (21-8) will hope to crack into the top 10 with a win over eighth-ranked Anthony Smith in Saturday's co-main event. A dangerous finisher, 18 of Spann's 21 wins have come by finish, with 12 of them coming via submission. DraftKings sees Spann as the […]


Anthony Smith Seeking Victory In 20th UFC Appearance

Anthony Smith (36-18) is set for a co-main-event showdown with fellow top-tier light heavyweight Ryan Spann on Saturday. Showcasing in his 20th UFC matchup, Smith will look to improve upon his No. 8 ranking in the division. DraftKings sees Smith as the slight underdog with a salary of $7,900. He averages 57.7 fantasy points per […]


Fernie Garcia Set For A Tough Third Octagon Appearance

Fernie Garcia (10-3) enters Saturday's contest faced with an extremely tough uphill battle in Rinya Nakamura. Since a Contender Series win in October of 2021, Garcia has lost both of his UFC appearances via decision. DraftKings sees Garcia as a huge underdog with a salary of $6,600. He averages only 24.5 fantasy points per contest […]


Rinya Nakamura Looking To Build On Big Debut Win

Entering the UFC with tons of momentum, Rinya Nakamura (7-0) won his UFC debut with a 33-second knockout. Six of his seven wins have come by a finish. As expected, Nakamura enters Saturday's matchup as a huge favorite with a DraftKings salary of $9,600. He scored 139.5 fantasy points in his UFC debut back in […]


Mario Bautista Earns Big Victory At UFC 292

Mario Bautista has officially arrived at the top of the bantamweight party, earning his fifth straight victory on Saturday. At UFC 292, he was able to earn a unanimous-decision victory over a very tough opponent in Da'Mon Blackshear. Though he was out-struck in the significant strike-category (79 to 90) and landed less takedowns (two to […]


Da'Mon Blackshear Comes Up Short In Bid For Consecutive Wins

Fighting in back-to-back weeks is a tough task for any fighter. Da'Mon Blackshear took on that challenge but fell short with a decision loss on Saturday. Though he out-struck Mario Bautista (90 significant strikes to 79) and landed more takedowns (four to two), Bautista was the more effective striker. Numbers don't always give a fighter […]


Pedro Munhoz Unable To Earn Decision Nod

In an expected stand-up battle, Pedro Munhoz came up short in his top-10 battle with Marlon Vera on Saturday. In 15 minutes of action, Munhoz landed 113 significant strikes compared to the 141 of Vera. Not only did Vera have the greater output, he also landed the bigger shots, giving him the judges' nods. The […]


Mario Bautista Set For New Opponent At UFC 292

Mario Bautista (12-2) will still compete at UFC 292 on the main card on Saturday after Cody Garbrandt fell off the card due to injury. His new opponent is Da'Mon Blackshear, who was victorious last week with a first-round twister. DraftKings sees Bautista as the big favorite with a salary of $9,100. He averages 80.3 […]


Da'Mon Blackshear Stepping In On Late Notice At UFC 292

This fight will go really good or really bad for Da'Mon Blackshear (14-5-1) against Mario Bautista on Saturday. Blackshear is coming off of an extremely rare twister win. The problem is that his victory came one week ago on Aug. 12. If he's still riding that momentum high, Blackshear could have a massive performance. DraftKings […]


Pedro Munhoz Set To Showcase On Main Card

Rebounding from a recent tough skid, Pedro Munhoz (20-7) will take to the main card of a huge UFC 292 show on Saturday to face off with a tough opponent in Marlon Vera. Munhoz came out in his last appearance and earned a decision nod over Chris Gutierrez in April. Typically a finisher as a […]


Tafon Nchukwi Suffers Third Straight UFC Loss

Though his previous two losses were via finishes, Tafon Nchukwi was unable to get the nod after going the full three rounds with AJ Dobson on Saturday. Nchukwi was out-struck, landing only 53 significant strikes compared to the 67 of Dobson. The wrestling game is where Nchukwi really lost this one, being taken down on […]

In a grapple-heavy contest on Saturday, Jamie Pickett came out on the losing end of a unanimous decision against Josh Fremd. In 15 minutes of action, Pickett only landed 14 significant strikes compared to the 31 of Fremd. The big downside for Pickett in this contest was the amount of time he spent in the […]

AJ Dobson Still Seeking First UFC Win

Dobson had an impressive showing on the Contender Series in September of 2021, earning a first-round submission. Since then, he has lost both of his Octagon appearances […]


Tafon Nchukwi Hoping To Show Fans He Can Deliver A Finish

Tafon Nchukwi will look to show fans he can deliver on his big pre-UFC power on the big stage when he meets AJ Dobson in his sixth UFC showing this Saturday. Prior to entering the UFC, all of Nchukwi's victories have come by knockout. While in the UFC, both of his wins have come by […]


Jamie Pickett Enters Octagon In Dire Need Of A Win

It has a been a rough tenure in the UFC for Jamie Pickett (13-9), as he's lost his last three bouts in a row. When he is able to earn a victory, he normally does so with his power, racking up eight knockout/TKO wins. DraftKings sees Pickett as one of the biggest underdogs on Saturday […]


Josh Fremd Hoping To Build Off Of Recent Win

Josh Fremd (10-4) returns to action when he faces Jamie Pickett on Saturday.

A strong finisher, eight of Fremd's 10 career wins have come by finish, with eight of them coming […]


Aleksa Camur Unable To Earn Victory After Layoff

After a two-year layoff, Aleksa Camur was unable to earn a victory on Saturday, dropping a unanimous decision to Tanner Boser. The loss also moves the Contender Series alumni to 1-3 in the UFC. In 15 minutes of action, Camur only landed 68 significant strikes, having his total nearly doubled by Boser, who landed 120 […]


Tanner Boser Earns First UFC Light-Heavyweight Victory

Earning his first win in the UFC's light-heavyweight division, Tanner Boser fought to a unanimous-decision nod (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) over opponent Aleksa Camur on Saturday.

In 15 minutes of action, Bahamondes landed 43 significant strikes compared to the 56 of Klein. He was also taken down three times […]


L'udovit Klein Earns Big Win Saturday

Though greatly outsized, L'udovit Klein did not let that deter him from victory Saturday. He scored a unanimous-decision win (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) over Ignacio Bahamondes in the main-card opener. In 15 minutes of action, Klein landed 56 significant strikes compared to the 43 of Bahamondes. Klein also worked the wrestling game as well, landing three […]
