UFC Vegas 47: Hermansson vs. Strickland | DraftKings + FanDuel MMA DFS Picks

Top-End UFC Picks

Brendan Allen | DraftKings: $9,300, FanDuel: $22

Allen is coming off a disappointing loss. He was a sizeable favorite against the smaller Chris Curtis, who stepped up on short notice and pulled off a beautiful knockout in the second round. That was the second loss of Allen’s career. That said, Allen is, again, stepping up on short notice, and, although he has had only a few days to prepare for this fight, I expect he will pick Sam Alvey apart. Allen will be the better fighter, particularly in the grappling department. For MMA DFS lineups tonight, Allen is live for a submission if this fight hits the mat. Awesemo’s projections give Allen 78% win odds with a 69% chance for a knockout.

Allen was one of the top fighters popping in the Awesemo MMA DFS optimizer projections today. He’s a top option for this slate. Check out all of our free MMA DFS Picks and projections in our DraftKings UFC DFS Cheat Sheet and FanDuel UFC DFS Cheat Sheet. Check

Shavkat Rakhmonov | DraftKings: $9,000, FanDuel: $19

Rakhmonov is an extremely talented and dangerous fighter. He has scary finishing ability and a gas tank that seemingly never reaches empty. Rakhmonov has patience and will fight behind his jab, while setting up beautiful straight crosses. His striking is technical, with pure precision and huge power in his hands. For UFC DFS picks tonight, this is a solid fight to target, and you should have both sides when creating your lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel. That said, I expect Rakhmonov will land a power-straight cross, as Carston Harris comes forward with pressure and dropping Harris early. Awesemo’s projections give Rakhmonov 68% win odds with a 47% chance for a knockout.

Mid-Range UFC Picks

Tresean Gore | DraftKings: $8,300, FanDuel: $17

Gore is a dangerous striker, and although he lacks significant experience inside the octagon, his unique stance switches and his power make up for it when he climbs in the cage. Gore should be able to keep this fight standing and I expect he will overpower Bryan Battle early. For DraftKings and FanDuel tonight, Gore is a strong play in all MMA DFS formats. Awesemo’s projections give Gore 60% win odds with a 36% chance for a knockout.

UFC Value Picks

Jack Hermansson | DraftKings: $7,400, FanDuel: $15

Hermansson is a solid value play on this card, due to his big-risk, high-reward techniques and his awkward striking, which is hard to read. Both men will have clear paths to victory in this fight. However, if Hermansson can get this fight to the mat, he should be able to grind out a decision or lock in a submission. Sean Strickland will have the advantage on the feet with his speed and pressure, although if Hermansson gets this fight to his world and use his grappling skills, Strickland could find himself in a world of trouble. He’s a solid play in all fantasy UFC formats tonight. Awesemo’s projections Hermansson give 33% win odds.
