UFC On ESPN+ 23 in Busan: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

This card is a cruel follow-up to the fireworks of UFC 245. It starts at 2 a.m. EST and takes place in Busan, South Korea. There’s zero star power on the card and is the lowest level even the promotion offers. We do have more fights than normal to take more stances on and I think there are some very live dogs with real scoring…...

UFC 245: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

After all the lead up to 244, and the card being a bit of a letdown, it’s safe to say this is actually the card of the year. We have three title fights and a full 13 fights for our viewing pleasure. There is also a special MME contest on DraftKings with a top prize of $50,000, and a boost in the size and top

UFC On ESPN 7 in DC: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

I hope everyone enjoyed the break, but we are back. We get what’s best described as a tune-up card leading up to next week’s utter monster PPV card. There’s not a single fight that’s truly a draw on this card, perhaps save for seeing if there’s a legitimate heavyweight contender in Jair. We get a few fighters coming back after being KO’d in their last

UFC on ESPN+22 in Sao Paolo: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

This fight night card is an improvement over last week’s Moscow card, and I think it’s safe to say we will have at least one 100-plus point scorer this week after seeing zero last week. At the time of initial writing, there is no screaming value on betting line versus salary, so we may see very spread ownership, and taking stands in the correct spots

UFC On ESPN+ 21 in Moscow: DraftKings and Betting Targets

I do enjoy the morning fight night cards, but more the eastern European ones that give us a start time not in the middle of the night. This one kicks off at 11 a.m. EST and has 13 fights. There may be an advantage to be had on the field in both cash and tournaments this week with an odd diversion from the norm in the

UFC 244: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

After some weeks of Fight Night cards lacking real star power, we get just a mammoth PPV card that will just be a joy to watch. We have 12 fights and the prelims could legitimately be the top of a Fight Night card. I will be at a buddy’s wedding Thursday through Saturday, meaning I will be offering cash thoughts, picks and bets early this

UFC on ESPN+20 in Singapore: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

No need to sugarcoat this one. This card leaves a lot to be desired from a marketability perspective, and with an ugly main event headlining just 11 fights, it also leaves much to be desired from a DFS perspective. The nature of the main event makes cash difficult as there will be hard decisions on whether to fade what seems like bad chalk, and tournaments

UFC on ESPN 6 in Boston: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

UFC on ESPN 6 in Boston: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown We get a fun card here, buoyed by the rescheduling of the no-contest Mexico City main event as the co-main event. Per Vegas, the most unlikely fight on the card to end inside the distance sits at just +170, and these 13 fights should be entertaining ones to watch. The nature of the main event with

UFC on ESPN+19 in Tampa: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

Well, this is quite a change. We get 14 fights this week, which is quite a welcome change from the 11 and 12 fight cards we’ve had almost exclusively. This is a much better top-to-bottom card compared to the PPV last week, with the main event not being a close call like it was last week. We do, however, have some drama surrounding the main

UFC 243: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

We had the misfortune of losing a fight, so this PPV card is down to just 11 fights. Be aware this likely leads to chopping at the top of tournaments and lowers the potential ceiling of tournament entries, particularly MME. This card is a massive draw in Australia, but is a run of the mill PPV everywhere else. If you’re selective on the cards you

UFC on ESPN+18 in Copenhagen: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

We get a daytime card in Denmark on Saturday at 11AM EST, and they have assembled a fun card for both viewing and DFS purposes. The smallest inside the distance line on the card is +140 — we can look forward to fun finishes and big DK scores. This card is so much better than last week’s Mexico City fiasco and one to have fun

UFC on ESPN+17 in Mexico City: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

Well, we have a fight card I guess. This one is bottom of the barrel for overall quality of fighters and not even the main event has anything resembling title implications in any weight class. Be sure to note the elevation as this is a large factor for cardio and gas purposes for every single fighter, further adding another variable. I will take each fight

UFC on ESPN+16 in Vancouver: DraftKings and Betting Breakdown

Give me as many Gaethje main events as we can possibly have! It’s always a pleasure when we have one of the most exciting fighters in the world wrapping up a card. This will be the first writeup with a new format for tournament exposures. It will be for fight night cards for starters and depending on feedback, may become the permanent format. I will

UFC 242: DraftKings And Betting Breakdown

The UFC chose the international cash in for the unification of the lightweight title to occur in Abu Dhabi. This brings us an odd start time for a pay-per-view event, 10:15 a.m. EST with the PPV portion starting at 2 p.m. EST. Be sure to make a note of that. We have a full 13 fights which makes large tournament entry far more attractive. This

UFC on ESPN+ 15 in Shenzhen: Full Breakdown

I hope you’re not a big fan of the regular sleep schedule this week. This card kicks off at 3 a.m. on the East Coast. It features a whopping nine fighters making their promotional debut and another four making just their second walk to the octagon. There also looks to be a few high-level underdog salaries to pay as we already have one salary underdog that

UFC 241: Full Breakdown

For me personally, as a lifelong Clevelander, this is the card of the year. We get to see a wrong righted and see the greatest heavyweight of all time get his belt back.  My hometown loyalties and fandom aside, the rest of the card is really fun as well, and simply put, I can’t wait for Saturday. There are a lot of very live underdogs. As

UFC On ESPN+14 in Uruguay: Full Breakdown

As far as fight night cards go, we get the normal dose of new fighters but we also get some fun matchups, and what oddsmakers believe will be a card with a lot of finishes. We also get a full 13 fights, which should be the norm, but hasn’t been of late.  As always, cash, single entry, picks, bets and other thoughts will be updated

UFC On ESPN5 in Newark: Complete Breakdown

Welcome back for a fun network fight night card. Our main event has huge ramifications at the top of the welterweight division. Outside of that we have mostly fun matchups. We have a silly six orthodox versus southpaw matchups which typically lends more power and less volume so be aware of those fights.  Again, this is the second of two weeks that have me working

UFC 240: Complete Breakdown

Whew, wyd UFC? For a pay per view card, this one was pretty haphazardly thrown together and one would have to assume Dana was happy to make a couple bucks and get Frankie Edgar one last decent pay day. We only have 12 fights which is becoming more normal in general, but not for a PPV card.  I am apologizing in advance as I have

UFC on ESPN 4 in San Antonio

The promotion has done an excellent job of setting up a lot of tight matchups for the main network card here. Ten of 13 fights have a favorite at lower than 2-1 odds and there are very live dogs. We have three heavyweight fights on the card that are all projected by Vegas to end inside the distance, two of which at greater than five
