UFC Vegas 29: Korean Zombie vs. Ige | DraftKings + FanDuel UFC DFS Picks

Core Plays

Dan Ige| DraftKings: $8,000, FanDuel: $19

Ige is coming into this matchup off an impressive first-round knockout over Gavin Tucker in March. He has Four wins via knockout, five via submission and six via decision. If Chan Sung Jung is off as he was against Brian Ortega in his last bout, then expect Ige to keep up the pressure and put on a suffocating display. However, this should be a close fight and either guy could finish this fight with there power. Awesemo’s UFC DFS DraftKings and FanDuel Projections give Ige 53% win odds.

Mid-Priced Plays

Lara Procopio | DraftKings: $8,500, FanDuel: $20

Procopio is coming into this matchup with confidence after a dominated decision win over Molly McCann in February. This will be the closest fight on the preliminary card. That said, I expect Procopio will lean on her top control once again in this fight. However, Procopio will need to avoid Casey O’ Neill getting top control when this fight hits the mat, or it will be a long night for Procopio. If you’re making multiple lineups, make sure O’Neill is an MMA DFS pick in a few of them. Awesemo’s UFC DFS DraftKings and FanDuel Projections give Procopio 58% win odds.

Joaquim Silva | DraftKings: $8,300, FanDuel: $16

This will be an interesting fight with both fighters coming off extended layoffs. Silva is a well-rounded counter-striker with knockout power, and has a killer instinct when stepping into the octagon. He had a vicious knockout win over Jared Gordon in August 2018. Furthermore, the knockout of Gordon won Silva Fight of The Night honors. However, in his last bout, Silva found himself on the other end, being knocked out in the second round by Nasrat Haqparast in August. That said, I expect Silva to have the lesser amount of ring rust and be motivated to get back in the win column. Awesemo’s UFC DFS DraftKings and FanDuel Projections give Silva 55% win odds.

Value Plays

Wellington Turman | DraftKings: $7,400, FanDuel: $14

Turman comes into this fight 1-2 since coming into the UFC. His opponent in this fight is Bruno Silva, who happens to be coming off a suspension by the United States Anti-Doping Agency. This will be Silva’s first fight in over 2.5 years, which brings some concerns on how the layoff will impact his overall performance. That said, I expect this fight to be a coin flip with either fighter getting the victory. With a $7,400 price tag Turman, with a solid outing could easily be in the optimal lineup. Awesemo’s UFC DFS DraftKings and FanDuel Projections give Turman 45% win odds.
