An early look at DFS pricing for UFC 250

UFC is back this Saturday with its second PPV since resuming its schedule amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. UFC 250 will take place in Las Vegas the organization’s Apex facility, with the early preliminary card getting started just after 6 p.m. ET on ESPN+.

This weekend’s card is headlined by a women’s featherweight title bout between champion Amanda Nunes and challenger Felicia Spencer. We also get a pair of men’s bantamweight contender matchups. Aljamain Sterling and Cory Sandhagen face off in the penultimate fight of the underdcard, and Raphal Assuncao and Cody Garbrandt are the final fight before the main event.

DraftKings is back for another weekend of MMA DFS, and UFC 250 brings with it a Millionaire contest. For $25, you draft 6 fighters for a chance at $1 million and a chance to compete at the Fantasy Tournament of Champions during Super Bowl weekend for another $1 million prize.

We’ve listed out the prices below, along with fantasy performance per fight, and will break down the best options later in the week. Right off the bat, Sandhagen offers some decent value. He’s averaged the second most fantasy points per fight, but at $8,000 is the 12th most expensive fighter. He’s a slight underdog to Sterling, installed by DraftKings Sportsbook at -106 to Sterling’s -118. It’s a gamble, but not a huge roll of the dice compared to other fighters on the card.

We’ll be back later in the week with more to help you get ready for the Millionaire contest.
