Matheus Nicolau (19-3-1) is set to take on Alex Perez in a flyweight bout on Saturday at the UFC Apex. After losing his last bout to Brandon Royval via TKO, Nicolau is looking to get back on track. Nicolau is the fighter coming into the contest with more momentum as he has won six of his last seven contests. Although he's lost his last fight to Royval, Nicolau still has all the potential to become a title contender in the near future. DraftKings sees Nicolau as the favorite with a salary of $8,700. Throughout his UFC career (five bouts), he averages 67.7 fantasy points per contest.

Matheus Nicolau and Manel Kape will rematch at UFC Vegas 84 in Las Vegas after their controversial split-decision bout in March 2021. Nicolau comes into this fight on the back of a defeat at the hands of Brandon Royval, which ended his four-match winning streak in the UFC. Nicolau's recent loss to Royval will likely prevent a title shot, particularly given the upcoming Brandon Moreno and Amir Albazi match-up. But a victory against Kape, who is one of the biggest names in the division, would put him on the right path to being one of the candidates to receive a title shot. DraftKings sees Nicolau as the underdog with a salary of $7,200. He averages 67.7 fantasy points per contest throughout nine UFC bouts.
