A fixture at the top tier of the women's flyweight division, Katlyn Chookagian (18-4) is set to open up the main card of UFC 280 on Saturday against a very dangerous opponent in French striker Manon Fiorot. Chookagian has won four straight bouts, and a fifth could put her right back into title talks. Throughout her UFC career, Chookagian has proven to control the pace of her contests, with 15 of her 18 career wins coming by decision, which has been a headache for fantasy point collectors for years. DraftKings sees Chookagian as the big underdog with a salary of $7,300. Throughout her UFC career, Chookagian averages only 55.7 points per contest. Not only is this an extremely dangerous opponent to start Chookagian against, but the point production of Chookagian also raises red flags.

Extending her winning streak to four fights in a row, Katlyn Chookagian defeated Amanda Ribas via split decision Saturday night. In 15 minutes of action, Chookagian tallied 63 significant strikes (71 total strikes) but missed on both of her takedown tries. Continuing to push her opponents to the limit, this is Chookagian's 15th career decision victory out of her 18 wins. Chookagian has proven she can earn the win on fight night, but our issue is her ability to score a finish and earn the big points for fantasy managers.

A staple at the top of the women's flyweight division, Katlyn Chookagian (17-4) is looking to build off of the momentum of her recent decision win over Jennifer Maia in January. Typically a grinding, decision-style fighter, 14 of her 17 career wins have come by decision. Chookagian is currently on a three-fight winning streak as well. DraftKings sees Chookagian as the favorite with a salary of $8,600. Throughout her UFC career, Chookagian averages 55.6 fantasy points per contest. Even if Chookagian prevails on Saturday, she hasn't proven that she's a fantasy star on fight night.

With three wins in a row, Katlyn Chookagian could easily find herself in championship talks for 2022. In Saturday's main-card showing against Jennifer Maia, Chookagian took a 30-27 score on all three judges' cards for the win. In 15 minutes of action, Chookagian earned 72 significant strikes (81 total strikes) and only landed one of her four takedown tries. The issue for fantasy managers has never been whether Chookagian can emerge victorious, but rather if she ran rack up big fantasy points by earning a finish.
