Check out my favorite fighters to add to your daily fantasy lineup for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night event below.
Zhang Mingyang ($8,900)
Zhang Mingyang, one of seven Chinese fighters on this card, is fighting Alonzo Menifield in the co-main event of this card. Mingyang is looking to get back on track after suffering his first loss in six years in August 2025 against Johnny Walker. Before that loss, Mingyang won 12 consecutive bouts, with each one coming by a first-round finish. His opponent, Menifield, is also coming off a loss as he came up short against Volkan Oezdemir in November 2025.
On paper, Mingyang is two inches taller (6’2″ vs. 6’0″), but Menifield has a slight reach advantage (76″ vs. 75″). Mingyang is averaging an absurd 7.71 significant strikes per minute at a 60 percent rate in the UFC. After losing his previous fight, Mingyang should be much more aggressive against Menifield.
Before his last loss, Mingyang scored at least 106 fantasy points in his first three UFC fights. If Mingyang comes out aggressive as he did on his winning streak, it is unlikely that Menifield will be able to handle his pressure and power.
Rei Tsuruya ($8,800)
From 2021 to 2024, Rei Tsuruya began his MMA career 10-0 with eight finishes. But in Tsuruya’s last fight, he lost to Joshua Van in March 2025. Since they fought, Van has become the UFC Flyweight Champion. After 14 months away, Tsuruya is making his return against Luis Gurule. Gurule is coming off a win over Daniel Barez, but is 1-3 in his previous four contests.
Tsuruya should be able to find more success in this matchup as Gurule isn’t a top Flyweight as Van is. Although Tsuruya is only one inch taller (5’6″ vs. 5’5″), he possesses a four-inch standing reach advantage (68″ vs. 64″). Tsuruya’s strong suit is on the ground, where he averages more than five takedowns per 15 minutes.
Although Tsuruya has scored 42.7 and 72.2 fantasy points in his first two UFC fights, he is in a good position to have a breakout performance against Gurule. On the Road to UFC, Tsuruya won two of his three fights by knockout or submission. Tsuruya needs to have a higher output in this contest, and if so, a positive outing and fantasy performance is likely.
Tallison Teixeira ($6,800)
After suffering his first career loss to Derrick Lewis in July 2025, Tallison Teixeira got back in the win column against Tai Tuivasa at UFC 325. Now Teixeira has the toughest test of his career against Sergei Pavlovich, who is ranked No. 3 in the Heavyweight division. Pavlovich is currently on a two-fight winning streak with victories over Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Waldo Cortes-Acosta.
Pavlovich remains a powerful striker with 15 career knockouts, but hasn’t scored a finish since April 2023. Overall, Teixeira is the more well-rounded fighter in this matchup. Teixeira averages 2.48 takedowns per 15 minutes. On the ground, he lands over five significant strikes per minute at a 64 percent rate, which is both better than Pavlovich.
Even though Teixeira is the second-cheapest fighter on this card ($6,800), he still possesses elite upside as he has recorded at least 91 fantasy points in two of his last three fights. Teixeira will need to be the aggressor in this bout from the start, as he seemed tired later in his previous contest.
