This is also going down in Singapore so consider the rigors of travel and having to fight early in the day there. Check out all of the latest UFC 275 odds, stats, predictions, and matchup breakdowns for the entire fight card below. Now let's look at some UFC DFS top picks and plays for Saturday's UFC 275 event. Good luck in your MMA daily fantasy lineups!
MMA DFS Playbook: UFC 275
Main Event | |||||
Fighter(s) | Price | Opponent | Risk | Odds | ITD |
Glover Teixeira vs Jiri Prochazka | 7300/8900 | - | Stackability: Moderate | +170/ -200 | +250/-150 |
This is a great fight. All Glover fights at this point are great fights. He either weathers the storm and finds a finish or his chin fails him. Jiri is certainly going to test that chin. If Glover does survive long enough for Jiri to tire he'll have a wrestling and BJJ path to victory. It's hard to trust how long the fight lasts so not the greatest cash stack. | |||||
Expensive | |||||
Fighter(s) | Price | Opponent | Risk | Odds | ITD |
Valentina Shevchenko | 9600 | Taila Santos | Somewhat-Safe | -630 | +120 |
There's not much left for Bullet to do in MMA. She keeps chopping down challengers. Santos is a better athlete than most of Shev's recent opponents but she's still green for this moment. | |||||
Brendan Allen | 9000 | Jacob Malkoun | Somewhat-Safe | -300 | -105 |
Allen is always a good DFS play. He works for a finish both on the feet and on the mat. | |||||
SeungWoo Choi | 9100 | Josh Culibao | Somewhat-Safe | -225 | +150 |
We've seen mixed results from Choi, who was a solid prospect. He's had some tough matchmaking in the UFC, though. This is a much better opponent and he could shine. | |||||
Zhang Weili | 8800 | Joanna Jedrzejczyk | Moderate | -160 | +300 |
Zhang narrowly took their last fight on the basis of heavier damage. She's a pit bull and aggressive in all areas. She's also younger and hungrier than JJ. | |||||
Mid-Range | |||||
Fighter(s) | Price | Opponent | Risk | Odds | ITD |
Batgerel Danaa | 8300 | Kyung Ho Kang | Moderate | #N/A | #N/A |
Danaa has so much power for the weight. He has 3 UFC KOs but all 5 of his opponents have been on ice skates. Kang's been durable but against lower level opponents. | |||||
Andre Fialho | 8500 | Jake Matthews | Moderate | -140 | +100 |
Can Fialho continue his UFC hot streak? The man is excelling at head hunting. Matthews is far from a brawler but he's been chin checked before. | |||||
Joselyne Edwards | 8700 | Ramona Pascual | Somewhat-Risky | -165 | +300 |
Edwards brings volume striking but has been trying and largely failing to fix her nonexistent wrestling. Pascual hit a couple of takedowns in her last fight but waited until the rounds were ending. If Edwards is on her feet most of the round, she wins them. | |||||
Jack Della Maddalena | 8200 | Ramazan Emeev | Somewhat-Risky | -155 | +240 |
I like this test for Jack Della. His wrestling needs a quality test. Anyone with upward mobility can figure out Emeev's wet blanketing. | |||||
Steve Garcia | 8400 | Maheshate | Risky | -180 | +120 |
Garcia won't beat many UFC caliber guys. Thing is, Maheshate may very well not be UFC caliber as a Chinese prospect. Maybe the vet can grit his way to another win. | |||||
Ramazan Emeev | 8000 | Jack Della Maddalena | Risky | +135 | +500 |
Emeev isn't offering anything different than what he always does. Top control wrestling with little action is his only path. That does not score well in DFS. | |||||
Pay-Downs | |||||
Fighter(s) | Price | Opponent | Risk | Odds | ITD |
Joanna Jedrzejczyk | 7400 | Zhang Weili | Somewhat-Risky | +140 | +700 |
I'm rolling out a good amount of Joanna in my lineups. She could have won the last fight with different judges but many will favor Zhang simply because of that win. JJ is still in phenomenal shape and brings volume like no other woman. Some small adjustments and she could very well dominate Zhang. | |||||
Maheshate | 7800 | Steve Garcia | Somewhat-Risky | +155 | +275 |
Chinese prospect getting a journeyman test. You could probably flip a coin here. On Maheshate's side is that Garcia's chin has a lot of mileage. | |||||
Liang Na | 7600 | Silvana Gomez Juarez | Risky | -105 | |
If Na improves her endurance, she has the physicality to beat low-level women. The danger is her wide open striking defense and her opponent's power. | |||||
Jake Matthews | 7700 | Andre Fialho | Risky | +120 | +450 |
Matthews will have to rely on some wrestling to not get starched. | |||||
Kyung Ho Kang | 7900 | Batgerel Danaa | Risky | +115 | #N/A |
Kang is yet another fighter who has a wrestling edge but we can't be sure he'll deploy it. | |||||
Ramona Pascual | 7500 | Joselyne Edwards | Risky | +145 | +380 |
If you put Edwards on her back, she's a flipped turtle. I don't have enough faith that Pascual will actually incorporate takedowns into her gameplan. | |||||
Josh Culibao | 7100 | SeungWoo Choi | Risky | +185 | +500 |
Culibao has relied on his toughness in the UFC. Choi has had some mental lapses so there's a chance openings come if he can push far enough into the fight. | |||||
Taila Santos | 6600 | Valentina Shevchenko | Risky | +450 | +900 |
Every champion's rein eventually comes to an end. Santos has the raw athleticism and power to take the leap into elite levels despite that being low odds. |
