UFC Fight Night 90 DraftKings: Dos Anjos vs Alvarez
Eddie Alvarez($8,600)
I often find myself winning with lineups that exclude 5 round fights and I believe that will be the case here. Both fighters have a pretty good shot at winning, and many people are expecting a war to a decision. I feel Alvarez is an excellent low cost option that should score a lot of fantasy points. I believe this fight will go the distance and Alvarez should be a good pick for points win or lose.
Derrick Lewis($9,600) vs Roy Nelson($9,800)
The Black Beast has been tearing through some great fighters lately with all KO/TKO victories. Roy Nelson is an excellent fighter but has faced a couple tough decisions but defeated Jared Rosholt earlier this year. I believe the story of this fight is going to be the 7 inch reach advantage Derrick Lewis has. I believe this will be a quick fight ending with one fighter going out cold but it is really hard to call. Each fighter has a similar salary cost for DraftKings lineups so you can almost go either way. I believe The Black Beast gets his hand raised at the end of this one but I am also running multiple lineups.
Alan Jouban($10,000)
Alan “Brahma” Jouban is one of the more entertaining welterweights to watch and should put on a show against the undefeated Belal Muhammad. Jouban is 4-2 in the UFC while Belal “Remember The Name” Muhammad will be making his debut. Muhammad has a 1 inch reach advantage and Jouban is 2 inches taller. I believe Jouban takes the victory by decision or late TKO stoppage and should be an excellent pick for your UFC Fight Night 90 DraftKings lineup.
Alberto Mina($9,500)
Alberto “Soldier of God” Mina will be taking on Mike “Quicksand” Pyle who is 40 years old. Mina who is 6 years younger has a 3 inch reach advantage. Alberto Mina is 12 – 0 in his professional career including 2 wins in the UFC. I believe Mina has what it takes to finish Pyle and puts together the win. However each fighter has a similar salary so you can go either way on your DraftKings lineup.
Mehdi Baghdad($8,900)
John “The Bull” Makdessi is coming off 2 losses in his UFC career and needs to secure a win. However I believe he has a very tough opponent in front of him in the form of “The Sultan” Mehdi Baghdad has a 7 inch reach advantage and is 5 inches taller. I believe the height and reach will give Baghdad enough of an edge to take the victory. Baghdad lost his UFC debut and also needs to secure a victory if he wants to stay under the UFC banner.
