DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC 317: Topuria vs. Oliveira

With Islam Makhachev moving up to welterweight and vacating the lightweight belt, the lightweight throne is vacant at the moment. The card, which takes place on June 28 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, features two title fights at the top of the card. In what is arguably the biggest UFC bout of 2025, former […]

MMA DFS DraftKings Value Picks For UFC Azerbaijan

We've got an early fight night going down Saturday in Baku, Azerbaijan, and I'm not seeing too many complaints about this one despite the relative obscurity of some of the prelims. On the betting side of things, I went back on "Wager Wars" this week and played way more +3.5 point spread than I ever […]

MMA DFS DraftKings Value Picks For UFC Atlanta

Another card away from the Apex in front of a crowd, a couple of former champions, and not a whole lot of underdogs that I have my eye on. We have three Codys and three former TUF winners on this card. That has to take some deliberate effort to put together. The city of Atlanta […]

MMA DFS DraftKings Value Picks For UFC 316

It is a big night for 135-lb. fighters, and Patchy Mix might have the most to say for the evening. We get two title fights in this PPV event set to take place in Newark, New Jersey, but I am most excited to see Mix make his UFC debut and another outing for Joshua Van […]

MMA DFS DraftKings Value Picks For UFC Vegas 107

I think the UFC had a plan to have every meaningful women's flyweight fighter on a card in the month of May. To be straight up: the options are slim this week, particularly in the values department. Out of only 11 fights, there are a handful where I am not interested in anyone. What I […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC Vegas 106: Burns vs. Morales

This weekend returns to the familiar UFC APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Outside of the main event, UFC Vegas […]

MMA DFS DraftKings Value Picks For UFC Vegas 106

This card is going to take some heat--both for the card and the fact that we are back in the UFC Apex. Reality will hit hard. Hopefully, they make this one count--we have UFC Vegas 106, another one-week hiatus, UFC Vegas 107, and then we head to Newark for UFC 316. It is easy to […]

The UFC makes a long-awaited return to Montreal this weekend, as UFC 315 takes place at Bell Centre.

MMA DFS DraftKings Value Picks For UFC 315

What a card for the women of flyweight, and what a weird one to call for the men of 205-lb. We are getting a two-title-fight PPV card in Montreal this weekend after several consecutive cards on the road--next week, it is back to the UFC Apex. If Belal Muhammad gets past JDM on Saturday, he […]

MMA DFS DraftKings Value Picks For UFC Des Moines

We are getting a dream of a bantamweight matchup, an awesome middleweight co-main event, Miesha Tate, and another live audience. Honestly, even though last week wasn't a PPV and the card wasn't PPV material, the crowd in a not-often visited city gave the event a PPV-like vibe, and it had me feeling something that UFC […]

After back-to-back UFC cards that weren't exactly filled with star power, the UFC is back with a big card this Saturday in Miami with UFC 314, in which the vacant featherweight title is up for grabs as the reigning featherweight champion Ilia Topuria decided to move up to lightweight and vacate his featherweight belt as […]

MMA DFS DraftKings Value Picks For UFC 314

Now this is a stacked event, with a handful of fan favorites and a solid contribution by Bellator. The stories with this card just keep developing.
