UFC 276: Adesanya vs. Cannonier MMA DFS Picks

Check out all of our free fantasy UFC DFS Picks and projections in our DraftKings UFC DFS Cheat Sheet and FanDuel UFC DFS Cheat Sheet.

Top End UFC Picks

Andre Muniz | DraftKings: $9,200, FanDuel: $21

Muniz is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu wizard and currently is riding an eight-fight winning streak. In 2021, Muniz faced off against Jacare Souza, who is accepted as one of the best jiu-jitsu practitioners in the MMA. In that Fight, Muniz finished Souza via first-round submission and broke his arm in the process. I expect Muniz will look to take Uriah Hall to the canvas early looking for another submission victory. For UFC DFS lineups today, Muniz is a strong play due to his elite jiu-jitsu and submission skills. Stokastic UFC DFS projections give Muniz 75% win odds and 62% chance for a knockout and rank Muniz third overall on this slate.

Mid Range UFC Picks

Jim Miller | DraftKings: $8,700, FanDuel: $20

Miller is coming into this match with a pair of second-round knockouts over Erick Gonzales and Nikolas Motta. Despite that success, he is still just 3-3 in his previous six bouts, with all three wins coming by finish. After three cancelled fights with Bobby Green, Miller finds himself facing a fellow veteran and legend of the sport, Donald Cerrone. I expect this will be a close fight, although, Miller’s power shots could land on Cerrone’s suspect chin and end his night early. Stokastic’s projections give Miller 63% win odds. Miller’s got a bit of leverage in our Top Fighters Tool, with 26% odds of being in the top six and only 22% ownership.

Dricus Du Plessis | DraftKings: $8,000, FanDuel: $18

After four fight cancellations Du Plessis will finally be entering the octagon to face Brad Tavares. Du Plessis is currently riding a four-fight winning streak, coming off a knockout win against Trevin Giles back in July of 2020. His fighting style is a bit awkward, although, this style should be able to help Du Plessis exploit the holes in Tavares’ game. I expect we could see an early finish by Du Plessis by way of knockout. Stokastic’s MMA DFS projections give Du Plessis 59% win odds with a 41% chance for a knockout.

UFC Value Picks

Gabe Green | DraftKings: $7,400, FanDuel: $10

Green is a solid boxer with heavy hands. Cardio, durability, and boxing are Green’s best MMA skills. Green is currently riding a two-fight winning streak and most recent a second-round knockout over Yohan Lainesse in April. He is an effective fighter, who fights with huge aggression and unwillingness to quit. I expect Green to bring heavy pressure and in-your-face style that will likely cause the raw Ian Garry problems early. There are risk rostering Green in your MMA lineups today, but if Green finds the finish it could pay off nicely. Stokastic’s projections give Green 39% win odds.
