Top End UFC Picks

Arman Tsarukyan | DraftKings: $9,100 , FanDuel: $23

Tsarukyan is getting better after every fight, which is scary, considering just how elite he has already been over the course of his career. Moreover, Tsarukyan lost his second professional fight, his lone loss in the UFC came at the hands of Islam Makhachev but since then he’s reeled of five straight victories.. Tsarukyan has a wide range in his arsenal, with elite wrestling, kickboxing, hand speed, and dangerous striking. For UFC DFS lineups today, Tsarukyan is a strong play due to his elite wrestling and takedown upside. Stokastic’s projections give Tsarukyan 72% win odds with a 37% chance for a knockout. He’s the #1 value play on today’s slate and he has the highest projected point total at 104.7, according to the Stokastic UFC DFS projections.

Mid Range UFC Picks

TJ Brown | DraftKings: $8,900 , FanDuel: $20

After suffering two consecutive defeats in his first two UFC bouts, TJ Brown in now looking to make it three consecutive wins for the first time in his UFC career, after two wins via decision over Kai Kamaka and Charles Rosa. He will have both the height and reach advantage, as well as the edge in the striking department. I expect Brown will pick Shayilan Nuerdanbieke apart early, while looking to lock in another submission victory. For MMA DFS purposes, Brown has a high ceiling due to his submission skills. Stokastic’s projections give Brown 64% win odds. He’s got a bit of leverage in our Top Fighters Tool as well – with 32% odds of being in the top-six and only 27% projected ownership as of writing.

JP Buys | DraftKings: $8,200 , FanDuel: $16

Buys is still looking for his first Octagon victory in the UFC, having fallen to Bruno Silva in his UFC debut and Montel Jackson in his second outing. That said, this fight with Cody Durden should be more in Buys’ wheelhouse with both fighters being wrestling specialists. The key to Buys getting his first UFC win will be taking Durden down early and often wearing on the poor cardio that Durden displayed in his last two bouts. Buys is a strong play in all formats. The Stokastic UFC DFS projections give Buys 51% win odds and some solid leverage, with just 19% ownership, compared to 27% top-six odds.

UFC Value Picks

Vanessa Demopoulos | DraftKings: $7,000 , FanDuel: $10

Demopoulos is coming into this matchup off a round-one submission victory over Silvana Gomez Juarez. She will be looking for another impressive performance to help her stay afloat in the strawweight division. If Demopoulos can get this fight to the mat, she will have the grappling edge over Jinh Yu Frey and could find the finish. I expect Demopoulos will look to get this fight to the canvas early, however if she is unsuccessful her striking could still pick Frey apart. Our ownership projections have Demopoulos at 16.9% and though she’s negatively leveraged (10% top-six odds) she’s a fine low priced pivot to lower the overall ownership of your lineup.
