Welcome to The Takedown, UFC fans. Today we are back  at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. This looks to be an action-packed main event between Uriah Hall vs. Sean Strickland. Here I offer some of my favorite MMA DFS picks for DraftKings and FanDuel UFC lineups with the help Awesemo’s expert UFC DFS projections. So, let’s dig into some UFC DFS picks and analysis for UFC Vegas 33.
UFC Vegas 33: Hall vs. Strickland | DraftKings + FanDuel MMA DFS Picks
Top-End Picks
Sean Strickland | DraftKings: $9,300, FanDuel: $22
Strickland has made his mark at middleweight with three straight wins. Furthermore, one of those wins was a highlight-reel knockout over Brenda Allen at UFC Vegas 14. Strickland has made an extortionary comeback after a devastating motorcycle accident in 2018. He told UFC.com there was no game plan, just shut the cage, you either knock me out or I am going to knock you out. For DFS, Strickland is a solid core play and a good way to start your lineup builds. Awesemo’s UFC DFS DraftKings and FanDuel Projections give Strickland 66% win odds with a 37% chance for a knockout.
Mid-Range Picks
Melisk Baghdasaryan | DraftKings: $8,600, FanDuel: $17
Baghdasaryan will be making his Octagon debut, by way of Dana White’s Contender Series 31. He has a background in boxing, as well as kickboxing, so he has a solid pedigree coming into his debut. Baghdasaryan is a well-rounded fighter, that boasts huge power in his hands. However, the one concern for Baghdasaryan is starting fast and slowing down considerably. So, there is a strong possibility of Collin Anglin securing a win at the end. But I expect Baghdasaryan’s power to get the job done. Awesemo’s UFC DFS projections give 57% win odds.
Ashley Yoder| DraftKings: $8,400, FanDuel: $14
Yoder is skilled on the ground and is extremely touch but has not been able to beat anyone at the top of the division. She will have a noticeable size advantage which should support giving her the edge in this fight. Yoder is a solid grappler and is always live for a submission. This should be a close fight, but with the size advantage and strong grappling Yoder should get the job done. For DFS, Yoder could score well with by racking up multiple takedowns and control time. Awesemo’s UFC DFS projections give Yoder 58% win odds.

Value Picks
Danny Chavez | DraftKings: $8,000, FanDuel: $14
Chavez will have three inches of height and two inches of reach advantage over Kai Kamaka. His nasty straight punches and pure raw power are going to be a real problem for Kamaka’s chin. That said, this is going to be a close fight, although if Chavez can keep this fight on the feet, he could end this fight quickly. Chavez has three wins via knockout and eight wins via decision. Awesemo’s UFC DFS projections give 47% win odds .
