After a week off, the UFC will be back live from the Apex in Las Vegas, featuring a women’s flyweight main event Alexa Grasso vs. Viviane Araujo, with the co-main featuring Cub Swanson making his bantamweight  debut vs. Jonathan Martinez . Below are some MMA DFS picks and analysis with the help of Stokastic’s UFC expert projections . Let’s see what’s on tap for UFC Vegas 62 and find some of the best UFC DFS pick for DraftKings and FanDuel lineups.
UFC Vegas 62: Grasso vs. Araujo DFS Picks
Top-End Pick: Joanderson Brito | DraftKings: $9,400 , FanDuel: $21
Brito was preparing for Melsik Baghdasaryan, but he had to pull out after breaking  his hand. He will now be facing Lucas Alexander who is stepping in on short notice. Brito is coming off an impressive knock out over veteran Andre Fili in the first round  in April. I expect Brito will combine his striking and use range to overwhelm him with his high output. Brito has 77.9% win odds according to Stokastic UFC DFS projections with a 60.6% chance for a knockout. Top Fighters Tool gives him 39.7 of being in the top six on this card.
Top-End Pick: Victor Henry | DraftKings: $9,300 , FanDuel: $22
Henry has only lost once in his last 10 fights. The loss was a unanimous decision to Denis Lavrentyev in 2020, he rebounded with a submission win over Albert Morales in the Parus Fight Championship. Henry is coming off an impressive UFC debut earning a unanimous decision over Raoni Barcelos in January. He landed 181 significant strikes in his debut and threw 222 total strikes. I expect Henry will pick Raphael Assuncao apart and find an early second-round knockout. Stokastic’s UFC DFS projection give him 79.2% win odds.
Mid-Priced Pick: Â Mana Martinez | DraftKings: $8,500, FanDuel: $17
Martinez is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Ronnie Lawrence in February, which snapped a three-fight winning streak. He has high output and big power that can finish Brandon Davis, who is coming off a vicious first-round knockout loss to Danaa Batgerel. Martinez is a fundamentally technical boxer with power that can put his opponents lights out. Â I expect Martinez will use his boxing to dictate the pace and find the suspect chin of Davis early second-round. He has 59.4% win odds according to Stokastic’s UFC DFS projections.

Value Pick: Jacob Malkoun  | DraftKings: $7,900 , FanDuel: $15
 Malkoun will bring a high-pressure style and look to take Nick Maximov off his game plan. He will look to keep this fight standing and use his sharp boxing to dictate the pace and mix in his grappling chops to keep Maximov off balance. Malkoun is coming off three impressive performances even though he lost a close unanimous decision to Brendan Allen his last time out. Prior too, Malkoun scored 114 and 129 DraftKings points in both unanimous decisions. I expect Malkoun will bring his high-pressure and  excellent cardio in route to another impressive performance. Stokastic’s UFC expert projection give him 45.9% win odds.
