MMA DFS Picks: Core Plays

Anthony “Lionheart” Smith | DraftKings: $9,000, FanDuel: $19

Smith is an aggressive fighter and he needs to utilize his low kicks to wear Teixeira down. I think Smith will use his one-twos and his powerful straight-right hand to inflict damage on Teixeira. He has dangerous leg kicks to the body and head and will throw nasty elbows to the head with intention of opening his opponents up. I feel this fight will end late-second round or early-third round via TKO/KO. At 88.63 points, Smith is Awesemo’s highest projected fighter on the slate. His 9.85 value rating, due to a reduced price tag, is also the top option on both DraftKings and FanDuel. Awesemo also gives him a 50% chance at a knockout.

Marvin Vettori | DraftKings: $8,900, FanDuel: $17

Editor’s note: This fight was cancelled. Make sure to take Vettori and Karl Roberson out of your lineups!

Vettori is the more well-rounded fighter and has the edge on the feet. He is a southpaw that likes coming forward with pressure, firing multiple combinations to close the distance. He has nice grappling skills and will be looking for submissions once he has gotten his opponent to the mat. I think this is a good matchup for Vettori, and I think he has a good shot at a submission victory. His 62% win odds are fourth highest on the slate, according to the Awesemo Top Fighters Tool.

Hunter Azure | DraftKings: $9,100, FanDuel: $18

I think Azure is the better fighter he will be able to stuff most of Kelleher’s takedown attempts. He won four state wrestling titles when he was in high school. He also throws a nice overhand right with power and will mix in nasty uppercuts. Azure will throw knees and use kicks to the body to set up his head kick that can be dangerous. I think his Striking could possibly get him a TKO/KO victory. Among the other top-priced fighters on the slate, Azure’s win odds and value aren’t great, but that should reduce ownership somewhat and give you a possibly contrarian play at the top. Awesemo currently has him projected for 29% ownership.

Omar Morales | DraftKings: $8,800 FanDuel: $16

Morales has won seven of his pro bouts by knockout or submission. His kicks are extremely dangerous, and he throws them with power. He throws a nice right cross that is nasty and will put his opponents to sleep when landed clean. I think his striking and kickboxing will get him a TKO/KO victory. Another plus: Morales is projected for just 27% ownership.

MMA DFS Picks: Value Options

Philipe Lins | DraftKings: $8,500, FanDuel: $16

Lins is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, but he also has tremendous power in his hands with a right hook and uppercut that are fast and powerful. He has a relentless attack of hooks and uppercuts that can put his opponents to sleep. Lins throws combinations very well and can overwhelm his opponents with this attack. His opponent in Arlovski is 1-5 in his last six bouts and seems to have lost a few steps. I think Lins will knock Arlovski out in impressive fashion and will put his stamp on the heavyweight division. Awesemo has Lins as a 36% chance of being in the top six fighters on Wednesday at 32% ownership — take that leverage where you can get it.

Alexander Hernandez | DraftKings $7.900, FanDuel: $15

Hernandez is an aggressive and exciting fighter in the lightweight division. He throws a dangerous straight-left with power and can put his opponents down when landed clean. Hernandez has the advantage on the mat and I think he has nice takedown upside. I think this will be an exciting fight to watch and I could see either fighter getting a knockout. However, I expect Hernandez to win by decision.
