If you want to win in UFC DFS, you need an edge the field doesn’t have. That edge starts with knowing how fighters actually score points—who bleeds value, who prints value, and who can break a slate with one explosive sequence. On this slate, we’re targeting fighters who pressure, chain-wrestle, hunt finishes, and don’t take their foot off the gas. Hesitant strikers? Back-pedalers? They’ll bury your lineup before the second horn.

Every Lineup Fighter: Kevin Vallejos, $9,100, (-340)
Kevin Vallejos is shaping up as the every-lineup fighter this week, and the data backs it up across the board. At his current salary, Vallejos is smashing value, returning elite DKFP per dollar and standing out clearly on both the value chart and the heatmap. What really pushes him over the top is the 1.5-round total, which strongly hints at an early finish and massively boosts his ceiling for DFS tournaments. Vallejos brings real finishing upside with his pressure and power, and this matchup lines up perfectly against a fading Giga Chikadze, who has shown durability and pace concerns in recent fights. When you combine the elite value metrics and knockout equity, Vallejos checks every box you want for cash games and GPPs alike — he’s the foundation piece you build around this week.
