Friday is finally here and I know we’re all ready for a great PPV after last week’s garbage fire for an event. Regardless, this article went 4-0 overall putting us at 51-10 since we started. Going forward, I’ll be changing up the article a little bit which will feature both fighters. That way you will all know that I’m not just targeting a specific fighter but the fight itself. This article also covers both DFS and betting with prop bets based on finishes as well. For a full fight explanation you’ll need to watch the Fight Club of Pain in which Dan and I cover even more bets, parlays, and even give out two DFS lineups, weekly. For any other information or how to play UFC DFS, then head to the Subs-Only Discord, and we’ll make sure you have the right cure for all of your fantasy needs. Have a great day everyone and may the fights be with us.

Azamat Murzakanov vs. Brendson Ribeiro

We’re starting out this week’s article focusing on a fight that is currently predicted to go under 1.5 rounds in a three round fight. Azamat Murzakanov is a massive favorite over Brendson Ribeiro making him a must play for DFS. Murzakanov will also be highly owned and used in many Captain spots due to his first round knockout potential. Right now the odds for the knockout prop for the whole fight is -340 but you can make a little more money on the first and second round prop for Murzakanov which is holding at a -170.

Kelvin Gastelum vs. Joe Pyfer

After last night’s skit on the Fight Club of Pain  about the “Burrito Bandit” Kelvin Gastelum and Joe “I Hate You” Pyfer, we’re going to entertain this match for this article after it was canceled and covered by us two times prior. I bring this up because the Burrito Bandit plays games and makes videos about missing weight while laughing about it. Pyfer just hates everyone especially after his bad meal in Mexico which led to their last fight canceling. For this fight, Pyfer is the call and should be in your DFS lineups as well as hitting the first and second round prop, which is a +340, right now. Kelvin is practically a mess as a fighter and you can easily see that by following his social media.

Mario Bautista vs. Patchy Mix

This fight features Mario Bautista against UFC’s latest newcomer and a disgruntled Bellator EX-champion, Patchy Mix. Right now, Mix is a slight favorite over Bautista, who recently beat Jose Aldo, in a controversial decision. Dan and I were divided on this one since I’m enthralled by the UFC’s latest addition. There is a clear path of victory for Bautista which means this fight could easily go the distance. However, what the Fight Club of Pain does better than anyone else is finding those wild finishes to make some extra money. Both fighters are open for usage this week for DFS but you can best believe that you better throw some money on submission and knockout by Mix, which is sitting at a +195.

Julianna Peña © vs. Kayla Harrison

This fight right here this week will most likely determine many DFS lineups since Kayla Harrison is the most expensive fighter compared to the champion, Julianna Peña, who is the cheapest. As stated on the Fight Club, I’m using Peña in one of my lineups for salary relief. Most people and myself think Harrison should win this fight early which means knockout and submission is sitting at -165 which isn’t bad. However, if the dog in Peña comes out, you could see this go the distance which all of the props bets have massive positives. Peña’s moneyline and distance parlay into a +989 which Dan is going with right now. Overall the knockout prop for both fighters is a +270 and if you want to get wild play the first, second, and third round knockout for Peña which is sitting at a +2900.

Merab Dvalishvili © vs. Sean O’Malley 2

We’re finally here and I know we’re all ready for the rematch between Merab Dvalishvili and “Suga” Sean O’Malley. Some feel that this rematch shouldn’t have happened so fast but I’m fine with it. Dvalishvili is currently riding a 12-game win streak making him a huge problem in the Bantamweight division. That means his method for victory should be the same which means Dvalishvili by decision which is -150 but  if you want to be safe, the -260 prop line on the distance should be the route you go. If you’re crazy like me you’ll be playing O’Malley knockout and submission for a +390 and if you wanna go over the edge, hit O’Malley submission for the second, third, and fourth rounds which is sitting at +5000, right now. O’Malley’s knockout prop for those same rounds is currently a +850 but with this fight mostly likely going the distance, you can use either or both of these fighters on your DFS lineups.
