SUMMARY:
On Saturday’s MMA UFC DFS slate, I will be building 10 GPP lineups. I will be focusing on the winners I chose for each fight. I’m building lineups that can variate from the field and taking bigger risks tonight. I will use my picks to build my MMA DFS lineups, and I will build around them with the available salary. Remember, to take down a UFC DFS GPP; you have to be different and take risks. Scared money doesn’t make money in tournaments. For any further questions, I will be available until lock in our Win Daily Discord chat. GOOD LUCK and don’t forget to come back and Win Daily! DraftKings | Fanduel
