2 years agoKennedy Nzechukwu (12-3) will look to continue his ascent up the light-heavyweight rankings when he takes on Dustin Jacoby on Saturday's UFC on ESPN 50 main card. Nzechukwu looks to extend his winning streak to four fights, coming into the bout off wins over Karl Roberson, Ion Cutelaba, and Devin Clark. DraftKings sees Nzechukwu as the favorite over Jacoby with a salary of $8,400. Throughout his UFC career (nine bouts), he's averaged 65.5 fantasy points per contest. This will be Nzechukwu's biggest fight of his career, and if he is victorious, he would finally get that coveted ranking next to his name.

2 years agoAfter a last-second cancellation, Kennedy Nzechukwu fought Ion Cutelaba in the main event of UFC Fight Night. He looked good on Saturday, ending the fight in six minutes with a knockout. After back-to-back losses, Nzechukwu has now secured back-to-back wins, with both coming by KO/TKO. With the recent turnaround, Nzechukwu has plenty of momentum entering his next fight.

2 years agoKennedy Nzechukwu (10-3) has the potential to earn his fifth UFC victory on Saturday and earn back-to-back victories after his third-round knockout back in July. Landing a touch more significant strikes per minute than his opponent, Ion Cutelaba, Nzechukwu will also have a four-inch height advantage and an eight-inch reach advantage over his opponent. DraftKings sees Nzechukwu as the favorite with a salary of $8,800. Throughout his UFC career, he averages 56.2 fantasy points per contest. With Cutelaba's aggressive nature and Nzechukwu's ability to earn a knockout (seven of his 10 career wins), this could end badly again for Cutelaba.
