My DraftKings Picks:

*This is going to brief breakdown for this card .  I'm saving my more detail breakdown for UFC 213.



Jared Cannonier (-265) vs Nick Roehrick (+245)



Jared opponent is making his debut on a weeks notice.  The UFC gave Jared a tough opponent in Glover Teixeria in his 2nd fight at Light Heavyweight.  He didn't get finished so taking on a nobody on a weeks notice should be an easier fight than his original opponent. 





Marc Diakiese (-255) vs. Drakkar Klose (+235)


Marc is just a freak athlete.  He has a tendency to rely on his athletic ability rather than technique. He is just to strong and explosive and Drakkar Klose doesn't posses the technique to get past him.




Jordan Johnson (-225) vs. Marcel Fortuna (+225)



Going against the odds makers on this one. I'm picking Fortuna just based off his jiu jitsu credentials. Also because he took his UFC debut against a Heavyweight and knocked him out in the first round. So he is now fighting in his proper weight class of LHW. He is fighting an undefeated fighter but I think Fortuna training with Daniel Comier will help with Fortuna to utilize his BJJ game to get the fight to where he wants it.



Angela Hill(-340) vs. Ashley Yoder(+310)


Hill is the superior athlete and as long as her takedown defense holds up. I don't see Yoder coming close to victory.   





Jessica Eye (+105) vs. Aspen Ladd (-125)

I'm picking Ladd just out of my sheer disappointment in Eye. Ladd will land enough takedowns to get the victory. I'm betting that Eye still hasn't learned to stuff them so I'm picking Ladd.






Dhiego Lima (+150) vs. Jesse Taylor (-170)

The line has been shrinking on this fight. Vegas has this one wrong and Its shrinking for good reason. Jesse Taylor is one note. He isn't a devastating striker. He is a straight wrestler with GnP. If Dhiego can't sprawl and brawl. He will end up submitting Jesse Taylor. Dhiego is going to make Jesse pay for each takedown.
