This was supposed to be it. This was supposed to be the night Conor McGregor made his long-awaited return. Tickets were sold (at egregious prices), flights and hotels were booked, the trailers and promos were being aired. Then, it all came crashing down with reports of McGregor suffering a minor injury that will postpone his matchup with Michael Chandler, likely until late Q3/early Q4.
Since joining the UFC on short notice last year, Naimov has rattled off three straight victories. In my opinion, all three of those wins have asterisks attached to them for various reasons. He is a solid wrestler, with good strength, power shots, and a decent ability to control opponents on the mat. Cardio has been an issue for him in the past, which is something the two opponents who defeated him were able to exploit.Â
There are two mainstays to play DFS for MMA; DraftKings and FanDuel. Each has its own scoring rules and variations, but they are similar. Here are DraftKings’ scoring rules and FanDuel’s scoring rules. I will always list fighters I think should be selected as MVP at the top and will use DraftKings budget to model my projections.
For the first time in its history, the UFC heads to Saudi Arabia with a respectable fight card. Although it started with Khamzat Chimaev in the headlining act, maintaining former champion Robert Whittaker is still a sellable ticket.

Although she got passed up on the Contender Series this past season, the UFC still rewarded Knutsson with a short notice fight in September that she dominated her opponent in. It may not be the most entertaining, but Knutsson is one of the toughest fighters at the weight class due to her aggressiveness, pressure, and physicality.Â
It’s wild to think that the UFC was close to pulling the trigger on ending the flyweight division, especially considering the number of high-level prospects it is churning out. The prospects are morphing into main event fighters and to top it all off, they are producing fight of the night type battles. Henry Cejudo, Deiveson Figueiredo, and Brandon Moreno can be given the credit, but the changing of the guard is upon us.Â

Looking to keep her undefeated record alive, Moura seeks her second win with the UFC. She earned her contract through the Contender Series in August then dominated Montserrat Ruiz in November. Grappling is the name of the game for this Brazilian as she does a great job of smothering her opponents on the mat and looking for finishing opportunities.
