<p id="n8q5Bx"><strong>Winner</strong>: Tecia Torres<br><strong>Winning method</strong>: Tecia Torres wins by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27). It was a dominating performance from pillar to post, as she was able to tie up Van Buren and keep her on her feet while landing some vicious fists and kicks. It was a nice sized upset, as Torres went off as a +180 underdog, but the outcome was never in doubt after the final horn.</p>
<h2 id="PRhCUh">Clay Guida vs. Bobby Green</h2>
<p id="Yo9GFc"><strong>Winner</strong>: Bobby Green<br><strong>Winning method</strong>: Bobby Green wins by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). It was a close fight, but the striking advantage from Green was more than 3-1. Despite some quality work on the mat by Guida, it wasn’t enough to snag two rounds and get the win.</p>
<h2 id="As2LoH">Jim Miller vs. Roosevelt Roberts</h2>
<p id="sSmRD2"><strong>Winner</strong>:<br><strong>Winning method</strong>: Jim Miller wins by submission (armbar) at 2:25 of the first round.

<p id="ZLKXoM"><strong>Winner</strong>: Belal Muhammad<br><strong>Winning method</strong>: Belal Muhammad wins by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). A late takedown from Muhammad in the third round he was losing might have kept it from 10-8 and a draw. A really close fight, and you could argue for the second round going the other way.</p>

<p id="EbrQzl"><strong>Winner</strong>: Raquel Pennington<br><strong>Winning method</strong>: Raquel Pennington wins by unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28). The clinch of Pennington was just too much, and her ability to change levels while on her feet was the difference.</p>

<p id="34rNFP"><strong>Winner</strong>: Josh Emmett<br><strong>Winning method</strong>: Josh Emmett wins by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-27). One of the best fights you will ever see in the UFC. The stats are incredible as Emmett landed 121 of 190 strikes, and Burgos with 155 of 311. But the two takedowns from Emmett were the difference, including a 10-8 round in the third from one judge.</p>
<h2 id="l08O69">Curtis Blades vs. Alexander Volkov</h2>
<p id="BvYhgn"><strong>Winner</strong>: Curtis Blaydes<br><strong>Winning method</strong>: Curtis Blaydes wins by unanimous decision (49-46, 48-47, 48-46). Give credit to Volkov for some incredible cardio and work rate to get himself on his feet at the end of the fight, but the takedown and striking game of Curtis Blaydes gets the win as a big favorite.</p>

<p>Belal Muhammed faces Lyman Good in a welterweight bout at UFC Fight Night on ESPN on June 20th. We break down how the betting public is picking the fight.</p> <p id="3wHvQ7"><strong>UPDATE, 9:03 p.m.</strong>: Belal Muhammad wins by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). A late takedown from Muhammad in a third round he was losing might have kept it from 10-8 and a draw. A really close fight, and you could argue for the second round going the other way.</p>
<p id="1f0xeP"><strong>UPDATE, 1:50 p.m.</strong>: The second fight of the main card remains split at <a href="https://sportsbook.draftkings.com/gateway?s=972217323&bTag=a_6417b_713c_">DraftKings Sportsbook</a>. The betting public is backing Belal Muhammad in total bets at 60%, but is backing the underdog Lyman Good at 56% of total handle. Maybe some sharp money on the dog?</p>
<p id="jHRwSX">Two veteran bantamweights looking to find the Top 15 rankings fight tonight when Belal Muhammad takes on Lyman Good at UFC on ESPN this Saturday night from the UFC Apex arena in Las Vegas. This fight was supposed to take place at UFC 249 in Jacksonville, but Good was forced to withdraw due to a positive coronavirus test.</p>
<p id="4MWCR4">Good is 21-5 in MMA, and 3-2 mark since joining the UFC in 2015. He was suspended for two years after his first fight due to a positive test for androstenedione. His 21 wins include 11 knockouts and four submissions, throwing 5.32 strikes per minute while defending 75% of attempted takedowns. 38% of the bets and 53% of the cash is behind him tonight so far</p>
<p id="eY4d83">Muhammad ring moniker is “Remember The Name,” and he’s 16-3 as an MMA pro. At 7-3 in the UFC with wins in six of his last seven, but he often needs the entire fight as only five of his 16 wins have ended early. He’s getting 62% of the bets but only 47% of the dollars, and so the line has moved against him though he remains the favorite.</p>

<p>UFC on ESPN 11 opens at 5 p.m. and closes with a heavyweight contender main event. We break down betting splits as of Saturday afternoon.</p> <p id="wu3TFA">UFC starts its UFC on ESPN 11 Fight Night event in just a couple hours, and we’ve got one last look at how <a href="https://sportsbook.draftkings.com/gateway?s=972217323&bTag=a_6417b_713c_">DraftKings Sportsbook</a> bettors are approaching the 12-fight card. UFC on ESPN 11 starts at 5 p.m., with the main card starting at approximately 8 p.m. Austin Hubbard and Max Rohskopf open the evening with a lightweight bout, while Curtis Blaydes and Alexander Volkov close it with a heavyweight contenders bout.</p>
<p id="2zlXVD">DK offers a look at betting splits, which help us get a handle on where there might be some inefficiencies in the market. We saw <a href="https://dknation.draftkings.com/2020/6/17/21294235/ufc-fight-night-picks-blaydes-vs-volkov-emmett-burgos-reneau-pennington-muhammad-good-miller-roberts">betting splits for the main card</a> on Wednesday, and then <a href="https://dknation.draftkings.com/2020/6/20/21297333/ufc-fight-night-picks-blaydes-vs-volkov-casey-robertson-camacho-jaynes-muhammad-good-miller-roberts">a look at the whole card</a> following the close of business on Friday.</p>
<p id="4rT7Qy">The most notable change saw the betting public jump on underdog Justin Jaynes. Frank Camacho was originally slated to fight Matt Frevola, but when one of Frevola’s cornermen tested positive for Covid-19, he had to drop out. Jaynes replaced Frevola, and a day after early money came in on Camacho, the betting public is giving the edge to Jaynes.</p>
<p id="eyXiwe">The top three handle percentages are north of 80%. Raquel Pennington is getting 91% of the handle, Max Rohskopf is at 85%, and Bobby Green is at 83%. Four fighters are north of 80% in total bets. Green and Roosevelt Roberts are at 84%, Pennington is at 83%, and Curtis Blaydes is at 79%.</p>
<p id="Dpw0CT">We have two fights with a reverse split. For Cortney Casey vs. Gillian Robertson, Casey is getting 55% of bets, while Robertson is getting 59% of handle. Given Casey’s issues at weigh-in, sharp money on Robertson would make sense. Belal Muhammad vs. Lyman Good has been a tough one to figure out, with 60% of bets on the favored Muhammad, but 56% of total handle on the underdog Good.</p>

We break down what to consider in setting your DFS lineups.</p> <p id="3wHvQ7">Veteran bantamweights do battle on the main card tonight as Belal Muhammad takes on Lyman Good at UFC on ESPN 11 tonight. Will we find some DFS value in the fight?</p>
<h2 id="6W4agx"><a href="https://www.draftkings.com/gateway?s=807561836">DraftKings DFS Values</a></h2>
<p id="kVUATL">Lyman Good: $7,300<br>Belal Muhammad: $8,900</p>
<p id="77ALET">Good is a +105 underdog on the money line, with Muhammad the -130 favorite</p>
<p id="4MWCR4">Good is 21-5 in MMA, and 2-2 mark since a two-year suspension due to a positive test for androstenedione. His 21 wins include 11 knockouts and four submissions, and he’s very active on his feet throwing 5.32 strikes per minute while defending 75% of attempted takedowns.</p>

<p id="kigSvM">There’s only one way to play this fight, and that’s if you like Good to win and thus saving some cap value. Muhammad just doesn’t stop people, which means paying over par-value for him isn’t wise. Either take the underdog for an upset, or avoid this bout all-together.</p>

<p>UFC on ESPN 11 features a heavyweight contender bout headlining a 12-fight card. We break down betting splits as of end of day Friday.</p> <p id="wu3TFA">UFC is back in action on Saturday evening with UFC on ESPN 11 coming to us live at the organization’s Apex facility in Las Vegas. The 12-fight card is headlined by a heavyweight contenders bout between Curtis Blaydes and Alexander Volkov.</p>
<p id="2zlXVD"><a href="https://sportsbook.draftkings.com/gateway?s=972217323&bTag=a_6417b_713c_">DraftKings Sportsbook</a> has updated odds and provided a look at betting splits to close out the week heading into fight day. We saw <a href="https://dknation.draftkings.com/2020/6/17/21294235/ufc-fight-night-picks-blaydes-vs-volkov-emmett-burgos-reneau-pennington-muhammad-good-miller-roberts">betting splits for the main card</a> on Wednesday, which gives us a benchmark for comparing how money is moving.</p>
<p id="4rT7Qy">The splits are remaining fairly similar on the main card. The favorites are generally the most bet by a sizable margin, with the exception of Belal Muhammed vs. Lyman Good. The favored Muhammad has been getting more bets all week, but the underdog Good is getting more money. This has resulted in the odds moving closer.</p>
<p id="xyLyh8">Cortney Casey is the underdog getting the most action heading into Saturday. 61 percent of total bets and 59 percent of total handle are on her to upset Gillian Robertson in the fourth fight of the preliminary card.</p>
<p id="gH9aZA">We have two replacement fighters on this card. Frank Camacho was scheduled to face Matt Frevola, but one of Frevola’s cornermen tested positive for Covid-19. Justin Jaynes replaced Frevola, and is a huge underdog. Elsewhere, Austin Hubbard was scheduled to fight Joe Solecki, but the latter backed out at the beginning of the week. Max Rohskopf will replace him and make his UFC debut, but he is a sizable favorite and getting a good chunk of the action in their bout.</p>

<p>UFC on ESPN 11 will take place at the Las Vegas Apex facility on June 20th. We break down the opening odds for a card highlighted by a heavyweight contenders bout.</p> <p id="45yI91"><strong>UPDATE</strong>: Joe Solecki announced on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBYkHtep7s7/">Instagram</a> that he is withdrawing from his fight against Austin Hubbard.</p>
<p id="4jcFRp">UFC is chugging along since restarting and has events planned every week for the near future. UFC Fight Night on ESPN+ (10) takes place Saturday, June 13th, but we already have lines for the next such event on Saturday, June 20th. </p>
<p id="SvrfFJ">UFC on ESPN 11 is <a href="https://www.mmafighting.com/2020/6/12/21289548/ufc-announces-full-fight-card-for-ufc-on-espn-11-on-june-20">currently a 12-fight card</a> headlined by a heavyweight contenders bout between third ranked Curtis Blaydes and seventh ranked Alexander Volkov. I say “currently a 12-fight card” because we know how quickly things can change in UFC events.</p>
<p id="rZFaMO">Blaydes is headlining his second straight Fight Night, having won a TKO against notable veteran Junior Dos Santos in January. Blaydes is coming off three straight wins and is a sizable favorite over Volkov at <a href="https://sportsbook.draftkings.com/gateway?s=972217323&bTag=a_6417b_713c_">DraftKings Sportsbook</a>. Volkov last fought in a November Fight Night and beat <span>Greg Hardy</span> via decision.</p>

<p>UFC on ESPN 11 features a heavyweight contender bout headlining a 12-fight card. We break down betting splits on the five main card fights.</p> <p id="wu3TFA">UFC returns this Saturday for UFC on ESPN 11, and the betting public likes most of the favorites on the main card. <a href="https://sportsbook.draftkings.com/gateway?s=972217323&bTag=a_6417b_713c_">DraftKings Sportsbook</a> has updated odds and provided a look at betting splits on Wednesday morning. Most of the betting handle will likely come in later this week, but the early numbers give us an idea where the public is leaning. And if we see a dramatic shift on Friday or Saturday, this provides a useful benchmark.</p>
<p id="mqqUBr">The one underdog on the main card getting some love is Lyman Good. 58 percent of total bets are on the favored Belal Muhammed, but Good is getting an overwhelming 70 percent of the handle. This will be something to track as the week progresses, because for now this could suggest sharp bettors are leaning on Good, while the general public is going with the favorites.</p>
<p id="MM7GD6">Josh Emmett vs. Shane Burgos features the only other main card fight with a split between bets vs. handle. 51 percent of total bets are on the underdog, Emmett, while 68 percent of the total handle is on the favored Burgos. The betting has moved the line slightly, with Burgos moving from -137 to -143.</p>
<p id="nUKdm1">The biggest move thus far is in the main event. Curtis Blaydes opened at -295 while Volkov opened at +230. Blaydes is getting 86 percent of handle and 83 percent of total bets, and has shot to -400. Barring anything dramatic, he will be the biggest favorite by a longshot this Saturday.</p>
