A veteran of the UFC since 2008 and a former champion, Rafael dos Anjos will return to action in Saturday night's co-main-event slot when he faces Bryan Barberena. Since 2015, dos Anjos has been somewhat inconsistent in getting to the winner's circle. Obviously showing he can win in the Octagon as a former champion, he has proven he can earn a finish to get a win, with 15 of his 31 career wins coming by way of the finish -- 10 coming by way of submission. DraftKings sees the former champion as the big favorite with a salary of $9,600. Throughout his UFC career (32 bouts), dos Anjos averages 76.6 fantasy points per contest, showing major consistency in being fantasy-friendly.

In the main-event battle of the Rafaels, Rafael Fiziev came out victorious over the former lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos in Saturday's main event. In 20:18 of action, Dos Anjos tallied 54 significant strikes (90 total strikes) but had very little success in his wrestling/grappling game, only landing two of his 16 takedown tries on the night. The 37-year-old Brazilian is now 2-4 in his last six contests, and his best fantasy days may be behind him.
