UFC 268 Main Card Best Bets | DraftKings Sportsbook

UFC News

In their first fight in April 2021, Namajunas stunned Weili with a high kick early in the fight and won via KO/TKO to take the belt from Weili. Namajunas’ head kick came from her lead leg, which is a little unusual, and it caught Weili by surprise. Weili should be more prepared this time around and is in a good position to rebound.

Playing Weili in DraftKings DFS contests is appealing. Weili is a high-volume striker, landing over six significant strikes per minute, and this is a five-round title fight, which can potentially create 10 more minutes for Weili to accumulate fantasy scoring. Weili has more appealing striking metrics, posting a better strikes landed to absorbed ratio—Namajunas’ strikes landed to absorbed ratio is unimpressive at about 1:1.

Kamaru Usman ($9,300) vs. Colby Covington ($6,900)

Covington has been an elite fantasy scorer, averaging 108 DKFP per fight, second-most on this slate. However, Covington generates a lot of his fantasy scoring through takedowns and control time, which will be incredibly difficult to generate against Usman. This matchup is not primed for Covington to be a high fantasy scorer despite his excellent fight log. Covington finished with 57 DKFP in his first fight against Usman after recording no control time and no takedowns.

Usman is one of the highest DraftKings fantasy scorers in the entire UFC and is the best play to build around on this fantasy UFC slate. Usman is averaging a slate-high 122 DraftKings fantasy points (DKFP) per fight and scored 130 DKFP in his first fight against Covington.

The main DraftKings fantasy UFC tournament has a massive prize pool of $600,000 this week. Enter the contest for only $25 here.
