MMA DFS Picks for UFC Charlotte: Rozenstruik vs Almeida
| Main Event | ||||
| Fighter(s) | Price | Opponent | Risk | Odds |
| Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs Jailton Almeida | 6600/9600 | - | Stackability: Moderate | +375/ -500 |
| This week's main event features two divergent skill sets. Jair has the death touch but little wrestling to speak of. Almeida is a capable wrestler with plus BJJ. We'll see how much he's willing to gamble on the feet. If it hits the mat he's a slam dunk, though. Not stackable for the one-sided likelihood. | ||||
| Expensive | ||||
| Fighter(s) | Price | Opponent | Risk | Odds |
| Carlos Ulberg | 9300 | Ihor Potieria | Safe | -420 |
| Ulberg should whitewash Ihor, who is very hittable. Carlos has been a more active fighter recently. That was his main flaw so good to see. | ||||
| Ian Garry | 9000 | Daniel Rodriguez | Somewhat-Safe | #N/A |
| I've been waiting to fade Garry but he's been improving faster than his competition has been increasing. DRod is a legit threat as a brawler who can wrestle some, too. Rodriguez just gets hit too much for me to trust him, however. Garry has power enough that that's a problem | ||||
| Karl Williams | 9400 | Chase Sherman | Moderate | #N/A |
| Not sure what to make of Williams as a HW not finishing fights. Sherman isn't going to run out of gas like most do. | ||||
| Ji Yeon Kim | 8900 | Mandy Bohm | Moderate | #N/A |
| Kim has the ability to fight with volume. It's not a given but Bohm has looked awful in the UFC. | ||||
| Mid-Range | ||||
| Fighter(s) | Price | Opponent | Risk | Odds |
| Alex Morono | 8800 | Tim Means | Moderate | #N/A |
| The Great White is in the YOLO phase of his career. He's hoping to finish fights with a flurry. His durability and gas tank are suspect, however. Means isn't a huge KO threat but certainly capable if he smells blood. | ||||
| Jessica-Rose Clark | 8400 | Tainara Lisboa | Somewhat-Risky | +100 |
| Jessie Jess is a solid vet but will only ever be a gatekeeper. A tale as old as fighting. | ||||
| Cody Stamann | 8500 | Douglas Silva de Andrade | Somewhat-Risky | -155 |
| As a fighter, Stamann is very solid. As a DFS option, his pace often leaves something to be desired. An intriguing leverage tournament play on a smaller slate, though. | ||||
| Court McGee | 8700 | Matt Brown | Somewhat-Risky | -220 |
| Mcgee finally found the wrestling gear we'd been looking for before being finished in his last fight. Is he completely shot or will he go back to mat returns? | ||||
| Anthony Smith | 8000 | Johnny Walker | Risky | -155 |
| Smith and Walker are two of the most unpredictable UFC products. Smith has the inside track in my opinion, with his savvy approach and timely wrestling. | ||||
| Johnny Walker | 8200 | Anthony Smith | Risky | -110 |
| Walker still has crazy finish upside against all but the best. | ||||
| Pay-Downs | ||||
| Fighter(s) | Price | Opponent | Risk | Odds |
| Bryan Battle | 7900 | Rongzhu Rongzhu | Somewhat-Risky | #N/A |
| Battle continues to improve and has a big heart. That's probably enough to win this one. Will he exceed value in DFS is the bigger question. | ||||
| Tim Means | 7400 | Alex Morono | Somewhat-Risky | +180 |
| The Dirty Bird has been the same lanky fighter for years now. He stays busy and wins with volume. He's got some BJJ but Morono is strong there, too. Mainly Means needs his chin to hold up but it fails him more than he'd like. | ||||
| Daniel Rodriguez | 7200 | Ian Garry | Somewhat-Risky | +240 |
| DRod has been around the block. He's a tough out for anyone. Pretty durable and well-rounded. His flaw is getting hit way too often to brawl. That could be trouble against Garry. | ||||
| Matt Brown | 7500 | Court McGee | Risky | +180 |
| The Immortal just keeps on grinding. He's never fought pretty but even less so of late. He's got to overwhelm opponents while taking their best shot. Mcgee is equally cooked, if not more so, however. | ||||
| Chase Sherman | 6800 | Karl Williams | Risky | +310 |
| The Vanilla Gorilla is making the most of his latest UFC run. His volume striking can cause trouble for heavyweights. That's just about his only path to victory, though. | ||||
| Tainara Lisboa | 7800 | Jessica-Rose Clark | Risky | -120 |
| A pretty interesting line given Lisboa's lack of experience. Clark isn't exactly a cakewalk debut. Women's MMA underdogs do seem to hit. | ||||
| Mandy Bohm | 7300 | Ji Yeon Kim | Risky | +190 |
| Bohm is purely a leverage play in tournaments. | ||||
