Champion UFC DFS Picks

Jorge Masvidal | Multiplier 2.25

Masvidal is a dangerous and deadly striker. He lands 4.33 significant strikers per minute and only absorbs 2.94 per minute. He is taking this fight on a week’s notice, which does not concern me in the least. Masvidal has never been finished in his UFC career. Usman should look to shoot and get Masvidal to the mat, where I think Usman could grind out a decision. Altought, I foresee Masvidal ending this fight late third round via TKO. Awesemo’s fighter projections have Masvidal, projected as the fifth-highest fighter on the slate at the champion’s spot.

Alexander Volkanovski | Multiplier 1.80

Volkanovski is a high-volume striker, and he has big power behind his striking. I foresee Volkanovski using the same game plan that he used very efficiently seven months ago. He attacked Holloway’s calf and legs, using his solid and quiet efficient leg kicks. I feel this fight will go to the judges, whereas I see Volkanovski scoring 100 plus due to his high-volume output. Awesemo has him projected as the third highest fighter on the slate in the champion’s spot, with 66% win odds.

Makwan Amirkhani | Multiplier 1.80

Amirkhani will start fast, and that has led to many early finishes in his UFC career. I foresee Amirkhani taking this fight to the mat, his grappling is elite, and he should be able to secure a win. So, my only concern is Amirkhani cardio, as he seemed gassed when he fought Shane Burgos. Awesemo has him projected as the second highest fighter on the slate, and a 42% chance for a knockout.

Super Flex UFC DFS Picks

Karol Rosa |Multiplier 1.20

Rosa had an astonishing 171 significant strikes, so I feel she is a solid target for the flex spot. However, I do not foresee her duplicating that, although I feel she will be throwing volume in this fight. She has solid takedown defense, so I am not concerned about her being taken to the mat. I foresee her dominating Melo on the feet, and we could even see a TKO. Awesemo’s fighter projections have her projected as the fourth highest fighter on the slate, with a 69% win odds.

Petr Yan | Multiplier 1.20

Yan has fast hands with huge knockout power. His boxing is elite, and he can overwhelm his opponents. Yan can and will punish his opponents and inflict serious damage with his hands. So, I foresee Yan ending this fight late third round via TKO, mostly because I feel Aldo’s tank is pushing empty. Yan also happens to be Awesemo’s fifth highest projected fighter, with a 67% win odds.

Amanda Ribas | Multiplier 1.00

Ribas is a dangerous submission artist, and I think she is the better fighter. Her recent performances have been impressive, and her boxing skills against Dern was undeniably a brilliant game plan. Ribas had Dern’s in trouble early and often, and if she displays the same boxing, she should plow straight through VanZant. Ribas also happens to be Awesemo’s sixth highest project fighter on the slate, with a 89% win odds.
