We have an incredible DraftKings slate to look through! First, before we get into the plays, let's ensure we lock in the event details so we don't miss out on any action. This event occurs Saturday, June 24th, 2023, at Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. The prelims will kick things off at 10:30 am Eastern and the main card at 3 pm Eastern. Here are the core plays that I plan to use with my DraftKings lineups;
Jose Mariscal vs. Trevor Peek
Peek is now fighting Jose in which Jose is coming in on short notice into this fight. Peek is a promising fighter and Peek wants that finish quickly. Peek is coming off a knockout win and has a massive striking upside despite it being sloppy at times. Jose is a wrestler and has an upside in the grappling end. Jose is making his UFC debut and this will be a fight where there is a finish. This is an exciting fight that can go the distance and if Peek can earn a knockout, I like Peek at the DraftKings price tag of $8,200.
Sedriques Dumas vs. Cody Brundage
Brundage is stepping in on short notice and should win this fight. Dumas is coming off a submission loss 3 months ago. Brundage is coming off of two losses and a submission loss also. Brundage has nice wrestling and can find the finish in this fight. Brundage can knock down great fighters including Dumas. The power is there for Dumas but Brundage has more power to me. Brundage is way too cheap coming in at $8,700 DraftKings price tag.
Austen Lane vs. Justin Tafa
Heavyweight time! Tafa has massive power and is coming off two wins. Lane is coming off a win from DWCS and is a former football player that was a Defensive End. Tafa is mainly a striker and has not earned a grapple yet in the UFC. Lane is quick on the feet and has grappling. Lane is an athletic fighter and it has shown. I do like Tafa though who knows how to defend a takedown in which he hasn't been taken down before especially at the DraftKings price tag of $8,800.
Maycee Barber vs. Amanda Ribas
The co-main event! Barber is coming off a 4 fight-winning streak. Ribas has been back and forth in the win column. Ribas is all around a good fighter with wrestling and striking. Ribas looked great last fight. Barber worries me with her takedown defense and Ribas should have her way wrestling. Ribas can win this in a finishing upside at a $8,900 DraftKings price tag.
