UFC Fight Night DFS Picks: Max Holloway-Arnold Allen
Top-End Pick: Gaston Bolanos | DraftKings: $9,200, FanDuel: $20
Gaston Bolanos will be making his long-awaited UFC debut and will be looking to add to his record with a finish over Aaron Phillips. Phillips has not fought in three years due to injury and illness. He is coming in following a knockout loss to Jack Shore in 2020. Expect Bolanos to overpower Phillips and bring fireworks to his UFC debut, finding an early finish via knockout. According to The Top Fighters Tool, Bolanos has 63.6% chance of winning and a 27.8% chance of finishing as a top-6 fighter.
Mid-Priced Pick: Billy Quarantillo | DraftKings: $8,700, FanDuel: $19
Billy Quarantillo is coming in hot after an impressive second-round knockout over Alexander Hernandez at UFC 282. Another performance like that would skyrocket him into the featherweight ranking. Quarantillo likes to march forward and attack his opponent with powerful combinations and level chances.  This matchup has Fight of The Night written all over it and expect nothing less with fireworks from both fighters. Expect Quarantillo to push the pace and force Edson Barboza against the cage and inflict heavy damage. Stokastic’s MMA DFS projections give him 61.9% chance of winning with a 36.6% chance for a knockout.
Mid-Priced Pick: Gillian Robertson | DraftKings: $8,200, FanDuel: $16
Gillian Robertson will be dropping down to strawweight and facing Piera Rodriguez, who will be looking to keep her unbeaten record intact. Robertson holds the record for most submissions in the flyweight division and added to that record last time out with a rear-naked choke over Mariya Agapova in September. Expect Robertson to push forward looking to get this fight to the canvas and drain the gas tank of Rodriguez — eventually finding another submission victory. According to Stokastic’s MMA DFS projections, Robertson has a 54% chance of winning with a 32.5% chance for a knockout.
Value Pick: Arnold Allen | DraftKings: $7,200, FanDuel: $15
Max Holloway is a solid matchup for Arnold Allen, who fights extremely well off his back foot, and has solid power to cause Holloway problems. Allen is currently riding a 12-fight winning streak and has a perfect 10-0 record inside the octagon. He has solid value at $7,200 in a five-round fight with his fast hands and slick combinations. Expect this too be a banger with fireworks from the start. The key for Allen will be if he has worked on his cardio, then it could be a long night for Holloway.  Stokastic’s MMA DFS projections give him 37.3% chance of winning.
Quick Pick : Tanner Boser | DraftKings: $7,800, FanDuel: $14
Tanner Boser is solid value and has the potential for knockout.
