Edging out her opponent by split decision to become a two-time UFC strawweight champion, the division's inaugural champion, Carla Esparza (19-6), returns to action to defend her crown against a dangerous foe in Weili Zhang in the co-main event of UFC 281 this Saturday. With the majority of her career victories coming by decision, Esparza will look to control the dangerous striker. If you like to play MMA math, Zhang's last two losses were to Rose Namajunas, while Esparza defeated Namajunas to earn the championship. However, DraftKings sees Esparza as the big underdog with a salary of $6,800. Throughout her UFC career, Esparza averages 74.7 fantasy points per contest. If we see the Esparza who recaptured the title, we could very well witness the biggest upset of the weekend.--Matt Bricker
