UFC 328 from Newark gives DFS players a stacked 13-fight slate with two title fights to work with. The $20K Special on DraftKings is the most popular contest of the night, and the $50,000 salary cap across six fighters has a few clear ways to attack it.

UFC 328 DFS Top Plays

Khamzat Chimaev DFS Pick ($9,500)

Chimaev is the foundation of any UFC 328 DraftKings cash game lineup. He averages 5.29 takedowns per 15 minutes and racked up over 21 minutes of control time against Dricus du Plessis to win the belt. That’s the exact scoring profile DraftKings rewards: takedowns at +5 each, control time at +0.03 per second, plus ground-and-pound volume.

Strickland did just stuff every takedown attempt from Anthony Hernandez, but Chimaev is a different level of physicality. Even if this goes the full 25 minutes, the volume from top position should put Chimaev near the top of the slate.

Ateba Gautier DFS Pick ($9,800)

Gautier is the most expensive fighter on the UFC 328 DraftKings slate and the biggest favorite at -1350. He has eight knockouts in 10 career wins and has scored at least one knockdown in every UFC appearance, including two in his last fight against Andrey Pulyaev. Diaz got knocked out by Joe Pyfer and Zhang Mingyang in his first two UFC fights and won’t refuse to brawl.

The DraftKings Quick Win Bonus pays an extra 25 points for finishes inside 60 seconds. Five of Gautier’s eight career wins ended within 2:30, so that bonus is in play.

UFC 328 DFS Best Value Picks

Joshua Van DFS Value ($7,500)

Getting a defending flyweight champion in a five-round title fight at $7,500 is the best DraftKings DFS value on the slate. Van lands 8.84 significant strikes per minute, the highest mark in UFC history, and his 81% takedown defense gives him a real shot to keep this standing.

Five-round title fights mean more time to pile up scoring actions. Van averaged 100.7 fantasy points coming into this and is priced like a mid-tier underdog. Easy click in any format.

Mateusz Rebecki DFS Value ($7,900)

Rebecki is a stocky power puncher who never stops coming forward, and Dawson has been knocked out by King Green and Manuel Torres in recent fights. If Rebecki catches him, you get the first-round bonus and stack up significant strikes along the way.

Even if Dawson controls the fight, Rebecki absorbs takedowns and pops back up, which limits Dawson’s control time scoring. Low-owned underdog with finish equity at $7,900 is a tournament leverage play.

Jim Miller DFS Value ($6,900)

Miller is the salary saver that makes the rest of the UFC 328 DraftKings lineup work. He’s a +260 underdog fighting in his home state of New Jersey, with 21 career submission wins and a chin that hasn’t been cracked since 2018. Gordon is the favorite, but he’s only two years younger and has been finished plenty himself.

If Miller catches a guillotine off a Gordon shot, the upside at this price is huge. Even in a loss, his volume keeps the floor reasonable.

UFC 328 DFS Fade: Baisangur Susurkaev

Baisangur Susurkaev at $9,600 is going to be popular as the second-biggest favorite on the slate. I’m not paying nearly $10K when Gautier is right there at $9,800 with a much higher finish ceiling. Santos just went the distance with Danny Barlow and could drag Susurkaev into a slower paced fight that caps the upside.
