Thiago Moises (17-6) is set for his second fight of 2023 as he takes on Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC Paris. Moises kicked off the year with a second-round submission win over Melzaquiel Costa in January. Moises is 6-4 in the UFC and is now on a two-fight win streak. However, the Brazilian is the underdog as DraftKings has him at a salary of $7,700, while in his UFC career, he's averaging 53.99 fantasy points per fight. Out of his six UFC wins, three have come by stoppage while in his four losses, he has been finished in two of the four. A win over Saint-Denis should get Moises a ranked opponent next.

Able to avoid a three-fight losing streak, Thiago Moises earned a first-round submission win against Christos Giagos on Saturday. Strikes were not a big statistical scoring point for Moises, as he only landed three significant strikes (seven total strikes) in 3:05 of action. After scoring an early takedown, Moises grabbed the back of his opponent after he returned to his feet, locking in the rear-naked choke. With 16 wins in his career, seven have come by submission for a total of 10 finished victories.

Hoping to avoid three straight losses in the UFC, Thiago Moises (15-6) enters the Octagon on Saturday against Christos Giagos. Previously on a three-fight winning streak, Moises has lost bouts to Islam Makhachev and Joel Alvarez. A dangerous finisher, six of his 15 career wins have come by submission, with an additional three coming via knockout/TKO. DraftKings sees Moises as the big favorite with a salary of $9,000. Throughout his UFC career, Moises averages 40.6 fantasy points per contest. Giagos has a couple of losses in the UFC against a much lower level of talent than Moises.
