Check out my favorite fighters to add to your daily fantasy lineup for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night below.
Christian Leroy Duncan ($9,300)
England’s own, Christian Leroy Duncan, has won three consecutive fights and is nearing the top-15 of the Middleweight rankings. In 2025, he went 3-0 with two knockouts. CLD is facing his toughest opponent yet, Roman Dolidze, who is coming off a loss to Anthony Hernandez in August 2025.
Both fighters in this matchup do their best work on the feet, but CLD is just the all-around better striker. Leroy Duncan averages 4.60 significant strikes per minute, which is 1.19 more than Dolidze does. CLD is also the more accurate striker (58% vs. 41%) while absorbing fewer punches from opponents (2.97 vs. 3.72).
Dolidze is still talented and dangerous, but Leory Duncan has the necessary tools to have one of his greatest performances in his home country. Leroy Duncan has recorded 99.7 and 111.4 fantasy points in back-to-back outings and has had 99-plus in four of six fights.
Brando Pericic ($9,000)
Brando Pericic from Australia is taking on Scotland’s Louie Sutherland in a Heavyweight contest on the Prelims. Pericic trains at one of the premier MMA gyms, City Kickboxing in Auckland, New Zealand. Eugene Bareman is their Head Coach, and they have an elite stable, with Israel Adesanya and Carlos Ulberg leading the way. Pericic appears to have a bright future and could be one of Bareman’s next stars.
Pericic is 5-1 with five finishes in his MMA career and is coming off a win in his UFC debut against Elisha Ellison. He beat Ellison by first-round knockout and outlanded him 29-3 in significant strikes. His opponent, Sutherland, is 10-4 with eight knockouts but lost his UFC debut to Valter Walker in October 2025.
On paper, Pericic has the advantage, standing two inches taller (6’5″ vs. 6’3″) and having a three-inch longer standing reach (79″ vs. 76″). This bout will likely be a striking matchup as both fighters excel on the feet. If Pericic is as aggressive as he has been recently, another big performance should be in his future. Pericic scored 102.7 fantasy points in his UFC debut.
Lerone Murphy ($7,300)
Lerone “The Miracle” Murphy is coming off a first-round knockout over Aaron Pico and is as close as ever to a title shot. Murphy does have a supremely skilled opponent in Movsar Evloev in his path, but he is still being undervalued here. Murphy is priced at $7,300, the eighth-lowest on this card. In his UFC career, Murphy is averaging 87.2 fantasy points per contest.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Murphy is a +205 underdog while Evloev is the favorite at -250. Even though Murphy is over a 2/1 underdog, he still has the skills to find success in this contest.
In this fight, Murphy is two inches taller (5’9″ vs. 5’7″) and has a one-inch reach advantage (73″ vs. 72″). On the feet, this fight is a big mismatch as Murphy is the much better striker. He lands more significant strikes per minute at a better rate while absorbing fewer strikes. On the ground, Evloev has the edge, as he is averaging 4.67 takedowns per 15 minutes.
Although Murphy isn’t as effective on the ground, he is still capable and has a 51 percent takedown defense, which should neutralize some of Evloev’s attempts. If Murphy can quickly get back to his feet if taken down, this fight has the potential to favor “The Miracle” in a big way. Muprhy has scored 97-plus fantasy points in three of his previous six contests and provides your lineup with tremendous value at this price.
