Adesanya is a massive favorite and costs the most to add to your DFS lineup. It’s not surprising. “The Last Stylebender” has successfully defended the middleweight title four times without much trouble (although the second fight with Robert Whittaker was scored closer than it actually was). He is pound-for-pound one the top three in the world and even though he isn’t stopping guys like he used to, there is a lot of apprehension among fighters to engage with him and despite that the decision victories have been pretty decisive.

Cannonier is a live underdog here. The former heavyweight has dropped down to a shredded 185 pounds, but still pack the power of a bigger fighter. He has won fight of six and earned two “Performance of the Night” bonuses in the process. Cannonier’s knockout of Derek Brunson was a brutal flurry of elbows to the face. He can mess you up. With that said, he’s at a major skill disadvantage and isn’t going to win this fight on point. He will need a knockout.
