This is a separate service than our traditional monthly membership. Click Here to Purchase MMA Lineups We're back at it on Saturday night for a free card on Fox as Valentina Shevchenko takes on former bantamweight champion Holly Holm in the main event. This is an interesting DFS card as there isn't a ton of finish potential, which means bonus points for stoppages will be at a premium. I'll be keying in on the the two heavyweight bouts as they should be even more important than usual to build a successful lineup - especially in GPP. Note – I’ll be checking the comments section right until lineup lockup, so let’s get the conversation going. I mean, what’s better than talking daily fantasy? VEGAS FAVORITE ($10,500+) Francis Ngannou ($11,500) Vegas Line: -650 Finish Prop: -274 Career Record: 7-1 UFC Record: 2-0 Record In Last 5: 5-0 Strikes Landed Per Minute: 3.41 Finishes: 4 KO / 3 Subs / 3 First-Round Losses by Stoppage: None Last Time Out: W, 2nd Round TKO - Curtis Blaydes On a night when finding stoppages will be tough, Francis Ngannou offers what should be some much needed safety - even at a hefty price of $11,500. I'll have heavy exposure to Ngannou as he has stormed into the UFC with back-to-back knockout victories on top of being the heaviest favorite on the card at -650 to win and -274 to stop his opponent, Bojan Mihajlovic. Mihajlovic is making his UFC debut and is taking a huge step-up in competition to touch gloves with Ngannou on the main card. You should almost always target heavyweights and the line on Ngannou just screams "ROSTER ME". The end should come quickly in this one, don't go get a snack or you could miss the shot that lands you 100+ points. Prediction: Ngannou - 1st Round KO   MID-RANGE TARGET ($9,500-$10,400) Dmitry Smoliakov ($10,100) Vegas Line: -160 Finish Prop: -121 Career Record: 8-0 UFC Record: 0-0 Record In Last 5: 5-0 Strikes Landed Per Minute:  - (UFC Debut) Finishes: 4 KO / 4 Subs / 8 First-Round Losses by Stoppage: None Last Time Out: W, 1st Round Submission (Kimura) - Sergey Grebnec Even if you'd prefer Dmitry Smoliakov's opponent Luis Henrque in the opening fight of UFC on Fox 20, you should absolutely have someone from this bout on your roster. Henrque came out swinging in an entertaining fight against Ngannou in his outing but was eventually knocked...

Daily Fantasy MMA Picks for UFC Fight Night 91 – 7/13/16

Give him a follow on Twitter @ShaunEyeHas Want to see how these picks and more fit into lineups for UFC Fight Night 91? Shaun is selling lineups for only $5 for DraftKings Cash Games & Tournaments. Just click the button below, this is a separate service than our traditional monthly membership. Click Here to Purchase MMA Lineups Don't worry DFS fans, you don't have to wait until the All-Star Break is over - get into the action Wednesday night and play a UFC Fight Night 91 contest. It's the UFC's first event in South Dakota and after a star-studed International Fight Week, Fight Night 91 has lesser known talent as well as a handful of fighters making their UFC debut. Fight fan or just looking to try out MMA over the all-star break, start your research here.   Note – I’ll be checking the comments section right until lineup lockup, so let’s get the conversation going. I mean, what’s better than talking daily fantasy? VEGAS FAVORITE ($10,500+) Josh Samman ($10,600) Vegas Line: -230 Finish Prop: +280 Career Record: 12-3 UFC Record: 3-1 Record In Last 5: 4-1 Strikes Landed Per Minute: 2.13 Finishes: 7 KO / 4 Subs / 7 First-Round Losses by Stoppage: 2 Subs Last Time Out: L, 3rd Round Sub - Tamdan McCrory First things first - Tony Ferguson is the undeniable top play on this card but with a salary of $11,500 he can be hard to fit into most lineups (though I do have an option in the cheat sheet). On to Josh Samman. The veteran is 3-1 in his UFC career and 4-1 in his last five fights. He also has recorded 11 wins via stoppage in 12 career victories, including three UFC finishes. He takes on Tim Boetsch, whose recent struggles have forced him to move down to Welterweight on Wednesday. Boetsch usually fights at Light Heavyweight but has taken an early exit in three straight outings. Samman is a technical fighter and I don't see him getting caught by the one-punch KO power of Boetsch. Samman should dominate the fight and I expect Boetsch to gas out after a large than usual weight cut - making Samman a viable cash and GPP play. Prediction: Samman - 2nd Round Submission (Rear Naked Choke)   MID-RANGE TARGET ($9,500-$10,400) John Lineker ($9,900) Vegas Line: -170 Finish Prop: +150 Career Record:27-7 UFC Record: 8-2 Record In Last 5: 4-1 Strikes Landed Per Minute: 5.57 Finishes: 12 KO / 4 Subs / 7 First-Round Losses by Stoppage: 3 Subs Last Time Out: W, Unanimous Decision - Rob Font John Lineker is a 10-fight UFC veteran and has been on a...

Daily Fantasy MMA Picks for UFC TUF23 Finale – 7/8/16

Just click the button below, this is a separate service than our traditional monthly membership. Click Here to Purchase MMA Lineups The middle card of International Fight Week gives us plenty to analyze in a short amount of time as DraftKings salaries were just released yesterday. It's hard to gauge the tournament finals because those fighters all have a very small sample size - though Tatiana Suarez would be my favorite of the bunch. Where else should you turn your attention to take advantage of this card? Keep reading and check out more research in the cheat sheet - lets get to it! Click here for Picks & Analysis of UFC 200 - #UFC200 (7/8/16) ***As we continue to improve our offering at DFSR, the cheat sheet and recaps below have been updated to include the Vegas Finish Prop and strikes landed per minute. Note – I’ll be checking the comments section right until lineup lockup, so let’s get the conversation going. I mean, what’s better than talking daily fantasy? VEGAS FAVORITE ($10,500+) Doo Ho Choi ($10,800) Vegas Line: -220 Finish Prop: -145 Career Record: 13-1 UFC Record: 2-0 Last 5: 5-0 Strikes Landed Per Minute: 6.14 (18+) Finishes: 10 KO / 1 Subs / 7 First-Round Losses by Stoppage: None Last Time Out: W, 1st Round KO - Sam Sicilia Doo Ho Choi two career UFC fights have only netted him a total of 1:51 of fighting time in the Octagon - registering two brutal first round knockouts. I had to adjust his strikes landed per minute in the cheat sheet to match the highest other fighter on the card because of his crazy UFC performances. Choi is the most likely to win by stoppage on the card with a -145 finish prop and he takes on Thiago Tavares, a guy who's been knocked out in two of his last five fights. I'll have heavy exposure to Choi in both cash and GPP formats - roster away as I'm looking for 100+ points from "The Korean Superboy".   MID-RANGE TARGET ($9,500-$10,400) Anthony Smith ($10,400) Vegas Line: -145 Finish Prop: +105 Career Record: 25-11 UFC Record: 1-1 Record In Last 5: 5-0 Strikes Landed Per Minute: 3.08 Finishes: 11 KO / 11 Subs / 13 First-Round Losses by Stoppage: 6 KO / 5 Subs Last Time Out: W, Unanimout Decision - Leonardo Guimaraes Anthony Smith - despite an unimpressive looking 25-11 record -  is a sneaky good play buried in the undercard...

Daily Fantasy MMA Picks for UFC 200 – 7/9/16

Just click the button below, this is a separate service than our traditional monthly membership. Click Here to Purchase MMA Lineups Huge card, huge contests on DraftKings. UFC 200 brings us three title fights, the return of Brock Lesnar, three other former champions in action, and another look at young prodigy Sage Northcutt. If this card doesn't get you jacked up...go home, you're drunk. Saturday's action wraps up a wild three days in Las Vegas for International Fight Week and hopefully plenty of DFS profits for you. There are some crazy high fan and Vegas favorites to analyze, making value at the bottom of lineups a little hard to find. The anticipation for this card is months in the making, let's get to the picks. Click here for Picks & Analysis of UFC Fight Night 90 - #UFCVegas (7/7/16) ***As we continue to improve our offering at DFSR, the cheat sheet and recaps below have been updated to include the Vegas Finish Prop and strikes landed per minute. Note – I’ll be checking the comments section right until lineup lockup, so let’s get the conversation going. I mean, what’s better than talking daily fantasy? VEGAS FAVORITE ($10,500+) Jim Miller ($10,800) Vegas Line: -250 Finish Prop: +119 Career Record: 25-8, 1 NC UFC Record: 14-7, 1 NC Record In Last 5: 1-4 Strikes Landed Per Minute: 2.51 Finishes: 3 KO / 14 Subs / 9 First-Round Losses by Stoppage: 1 KO / 2 Subs Last Time Out: L, Unanimous Decision - Diego Sanchez There are literally tons of options for above $10,500, so I want to dive into one you probably haven't heard or know much about, Jim Miller. Miller is a grizzled UFC veteran (never underestimate a vet) and despite being 1-4 in his last five and it's worth noting that he has faced top flight competition as of late. He takes on Takanori Gomi who is just 2-3 in his last five fights and suffered back-to-back first-round TKO's in his last two outings. Though Gomi is also a veteran, he never had the same success as Miller against high level opponents. Miller is a great under the radar play among the favorites and is in the top-five in finish potential with a +119 prop to win inside the distance. I'm not knocking (insert any one of 3 or 4 names you're thinking here), but Miller could bring back huge...

Daily Fantasy MMA Picks for UFC Fight Night 90 – 7/7/16

Three cards in three days from Las Vegas, buckle up fight fans! This post will cover the first event, UFC Fight Night 90 - make sure to check back the rest of the week for coverage on the TUF 23 Finale and the BIG ONE: UFC 200. Right off the bat. Fight Night 90 gives us a title showdown as Rafael dos Anjos defends the lightweight strap against Eddie Alvarez. I definitely like RDA but there are better value plays on the card, let's dig in. ***As we continue to improve our offering at DFSR, the cheat sheet and recaps below have been updated to include the Vegas Finish Prop and strikes landed per minute. Note – I’ll be checking the comments section right until lineup lockup, so let’s get the conversation going. I mean, what’s better than talking daily fantasy? VEGAS FAVORITE ($10,500+) Joseph Duffy ($11,100) Vegas Line: -410 Finish Prop: -105 Career Record: 14-2 UFC Record: 2-1 Record In Last 5: 4-1 Strikes Landed Per Minute: 3.02 Finishes: 4 KO / 9 Subs / 12 First-Round Losses by Stoppage: 1 Sub Last Time Out: L, Unanimous Decision - Dustin Poirier Sometimes it's best not to overthink things. Joseph Duffy is the highest priced fighter and biggest favorite on the card for a reason. Least of which is his opponent, Mitch Clarke returns to the Octagon after a year away from the UFC. From a fantasy perspective, Duffy is a finisher with 13 of his 14 wins coming without the judges, including 12 first-round victories. Duffy has the third highest finish prop on the card at -105 and should be a safe bet to score plenty of points. Roster him everywhere in cash games but you may need some more diversity when building GPP lineups.   MID-RANGE TARGET ($9,500-$10,400) Alan Jouban ($10,000) Vegas Line: -140 Finish Prop: +185 Career Record: 13-4 UFC Record: 4-2 Record In Last 5: 3-2 Strikes Landed Per Minute: 5.16 Finishes: 9 KO / 1 Sub / 7 First-Round Losses by Stoppage: None Last Time Out: W, 1st Round TKO - Brendan O'Reilly There are plenty of signs that point to Alan Jouban as a strong play, but we'll start with his opponent. Jouban squares-off with Belal Muhammad who despite being undefeated is making his...
