Hermansson is drawing a lot of bets his way as the underdog, especially in bets having him win by submission. He’s won three of his last five fights by submission, averaging 94.8 fantasy points in the span.

On the other hand, Vettori’s DFS value is solid given he hasn’t been under $8,600 during his winning streak. Your best bet might be to fade Vettori though, as he’s averaging just 57 points in bouts that come down to a decision, which is what six of his last eight have led to.
